This week we really focused on trying to get people to church and sadly were not as successful as we thought we would be for this Sunday. We had one person come but were planning on having a lot more people come. The good thing that came out of it though is we were able to get a whole family we are teaching to come next week because they were a little bit busy this week so we definitely are going to be seeing the fruit of our labors next week and are expecting even more people to come as well!
We have been using the Book of Mormon as the main focus in our finding and have had some great miracles from it! One day we were knocking around in an apartment complex and felt inspired to knock on these certain three doors and all three doors accepted a copy of the Book of Mormon and said they would read it! We've been getting away from asking people if they are interested and just going straight into teaching them how amazing and inspiring the Book of Mormon is and it's been working really well!
We also had stake conference which was super good! We had Elder Costa from the Quorum of the Seventy come and he gave some really good talks! There was also an Elder from the area of seventy there too and he gave some really good talks! President and Sister Lee gave some talks as well and the Orlando Temple President and his wife spoke too! There was so much that went on. We got a new stake president too which was pretty crazy. In the Saturday night session they talked a lot about preparing and studying at home and they compared it to when Christ told the Nephites to go home and ponder His words in their homes and I was like holy cow! I thought that was super cool and it helped strengthe my testimony of in home church. Christ told the Nephites to ponder on His words so they could really understand on a spiritual level what he was teaching them and so they could receive some personal revelation as they really thought and prayed about His teachings. That's why it's so important to study at home and as a family so that we can receive revelation for ourselves and families so that the teaching of the Gospel can sink into our hearts and not just be heard. It was definitely a very good stake conference and one of the few where I was really paying attention haha!
That's about it for this week! I hope everyone has a wonderful week and I love you all! Keep on keepin on!
Love,
Elder Plumb
I also got a sweet new star wars puzzle!
