September 15, 2014 ~ GoGoGo!

This week has been super crazy!  I went on a super cool split with one of the assistants this week (he was in my MTC district) and that was great!  We had 3 meetings in a row which was super awesome!  The first was with a cool young kid, the second was with an old guy who is convinced that he is related to the Royal Russian family that was murdered and that he is destined to be the next Tzar of Russia (he is dead serious about that), and the 3rd was with a rather agressive guy from Africa.  It was a crazy night, but super awesome.

Then on another split we went to visit a new convert who has decided to stop coming to church because he doesn't like the new missionary that came and doesn't want to see him.  Appartently he recieved revelation that he shouldn't communicate with him at all.  It's so sad cause this missionary is one of my favorites and is a really excellent missionary.  But this guy got offended by a disagreement they had over some gospel principle and also thinks that this missionary serves the devil because he has small earlobes...  he's really crazy.  And the missionary I was with, was with this guy when he because a member and he says that he has changed a lot and not in a good way.  

And we found 2 new awesome investigators this week!  1 just from the street and another one is this super cool kid who recently started coming to our english group!  We met with him last night and he is so cool!  Really big desire to read to BOM and seems to really be searching for truth.  

Also before this transfer I never really liked English group but now  love it!  We have actually gotten a few new investigators from it this transfer between us and the sisters.  And this week was especially good.  Usually at the end we have a spiritual thought and we've been going in order of the missionary lessons and each week the spiritual thought is one of the principles of the lesson and this week was the resurrection.  I had like this inspiration on monday that for the spiritual thought we should like sa just a few things about the resurrection and then sing a hymn about it cause what brings the spirit stronger than a hymn.  Nothing!  Anyways so I suggested it and everyone thought it was a great idea.  So we sang "I know that My Redeemer Lives".  We have this super awesome senior couple from Quebec in our district and they sing so beautifully it's ridiculous, so we did the first verse in English, they sang the second verse in French (and harmonized so beautifully with eachother) then we sang the 3rd verse in Russian and the 4th in English again.  It was so awesome we had like all 4 parts going and eerything between the 6 of us in our district, and the spirit was SO strong!  One of the women there was like almost crying.  There was another companionship of Elders in the building for something too and they heard us singing and they said they were both just in awe cause apparently it sounded so good.  I'm pretty sure that there were angels singing with us.  It was such an awesome spiritual expericence and everyone loved it.  I was thinking about the words as we were singing and had just this like overwhelming feeling of gratitude and confirmation that it was true.  I KNOW that my Redeemer lives!   It was a great way to end a great week! 

And we have lots of good stuff planned for this week as well!!

Til next time
