3/3/2013..Humility through trials

Indeed it was a great week. :) It was a little harder than
the past weeks have been. I feel like I am entering a phase of great spiritual growth
but that spiritual growth is also coupled with some pretty good lookin trials.
:) This past week we had three investigators drop us in a sense. Two of them
don't want to get baptized in March, which is when we had their baptismal dates
scheduled. The other one, I'm not so sure about because we haven't been able to
talk to but I don't think she will be baptized in March because she feels
really pressured and doesn't have a lot of support BUT we only talked to the
mom about this so hopefully when we get to talk to her we can at least keep
teaching her and having lessons over at her bishop's house. :) it was kinda
rough. But, Dad's email really tied into what this week has given me.
Sometimes, when you pray for humility and with a desire to grow, Heavenly
Father really lets you have the opportunities where that can be possible, AKA the
trials and tribulations. :) Overall though, it's ok. :) We are still getting by
and we still have another investigator. :) He came to church this past week
too! AND we got to watch Prophet of the Restoration with him and he was crying
a bunch. Tomorrow, we are gonna teach him the Plan of Salvation too. :) It was
kinda funny though because we came over about 30 min before church started and
he didn't know how to tie a tie so I got to help him. We tied the tie and got
all ready to go and it was such a good experience. It was fast and testimony
meeting so that was AWESOME. I really hope he felt the spirit. :) Other than
that, Sister Fica is doing SOOOOOO good. :) She is so happy and just has a new
light about her. :) Also, the Siler's cabin is coming along quite well. It is
really stressing them out but hopefully it will be finished soon. :) We got to
help them move out of their rental and now, they are staying with some member's
in their ward until their house is done. I cannot wait til they get to move in.
It will be such a wonderful relief for them. :) Other than that...... oh! We
had Zone Conference! It was a really really wonderful experience. Lots of good trainings,
lots of good talks and lots of inspiration. Something is out there, Elder
Wootten and I just have to go find it. :) Overall, the week went well. Elder
Wootten is doing awesome, learning more and more each day and I'm learning lots from him as well. :)
