WHHHAT a week.‏ February 29, 2016

Happy Leap Day! :) What a wonderful day! So this week was pretty interesting week. Lots of hard work! Lots of oppostition. But NOTHIN NEW!!! haha But I am excited to just keep working! :) Our investigators are still progressing. We have like 5 ready for baptism but ALL of them have 1 thing that is keeping them from doing it!!! AHHH Haha that is ok. Just need to keep working and have LOTs of FAITH!!! So this week we had our Zone Conference. And Elder Garner and I trained the zone. And it turned out awesome I would have to say. We used my slackline in an activity. Showing how if there are members on the side. It is easier to make it to the goal! And so we all helped Elder Zambrano make it. :) It was pretty cool. I had an interesting experience this week, when we knocked on a door. And a guy opened it and in the back he had two HUGE bookshelves, and he let us in. and it turned out that he knew a TON of stuff. And he offered us some tea, and said oh wait you guys can`t right? That is interesting because Tea is something healthy that came all the way from..... and on and on. So I was like oh great, he just wants to prove us wrong. But it was cool. Because we started the lesson off by simply saying. If you remember, Christ called fisherman to preach the gospel. He works through the weak and the simple. The message we bring is something that you can only learn if you are willing to listen to the spirit. And we invited him to listen to the spirit. And put away all of the knowledge of the world. He accepted and it ended up being a cool lesson. The spirit was there and I think we all went away edified. I again realized that the spirit is the teacher. And if we try and do the things without the spirit, then we will just be having a battle with the knowledge of men. Nothing else. I know that we can be ready to speak in the name of the Lord if we can just have the spirit with us. I love you all! Elder Sladers
