Members and Missionaries 11/9/2015

This week we had wonderful opportunities to be able to have more members come with us to lessons. It makes our lives easier to have members with us at lessons because it can make a huge difference to the investigator or the recent convert or the less active because they can relate to that member that comes. Also that member would be able to stay in the area which makes the person being taught feel more comfortable when ever they come over or so they know they have a friend and someone they can rely on.

The highlight of this week and a grand learning experience was helping a member move. We and the other missionaries were able to get together to help with this member move out of the house by certain day we came
over a few times to help her pack and it was a lot of hard work. The most challenging experience of it all was when the moving truck got stuck.

 The member accidentally got the back end caught on the curve of cement behind her house. We tried many different ways to get it unstuck like trying to prop the wheels up and other failed attempts. We finally decided after all the missionaries arrived from our Zone to help to have one last go and just push the truck as hard as we could. Missionaries lifted one side and the others pushed and with one or two tries it came up off the cement and we were able to back it out of there. We felt very blessed and felt that God was watching out for us.

Something else exciting that happened just yesterday was the Regional Conference Broadcast that we got to attend. I loved Elder Robbins talk and Elder Oaks talk especially when he talked about the Ward councils and the missionaries working together.

I have 2 full two weeks to be able to finish my mission and I'm excited to work as hard as I can and be able to follow the Spirit and know how we can best bless the lives of people here in Plano, Texas.
