Bonney Lake Week 6

hola!
 
hope all is well down there! things here have been going pretty good. we are teaching great people and still trying to find some more, nothing terribly new with life! but its only rained once this week! miracle!
 
this last week we had zone conference which was great! it learned about receiving revelation and the things that we can do in our lives to receive more and how that will help us in the work. it was such a nice reminder because often times we can take it for granite and not appreciate all that god does for is in this work.
 
also this week we had a pretty neat experience with revelation, i love watching the spirit work on investigators and teach them things that they need to know or need to do. we are currently teaching a family and they are great! its a family of 4 and they are loving the gospel, they have come to church 2 weeks in a for and their daughter went to girls camp this last week! they are great. but last night we were teaching them the last half of the plan of salvation and we had just taught the spirit world and we were in a hurry so we didnt teach to much about it and left out that it was a place of learning and a place that we can accept the gospel there too, we then moved on and taught the rest of the plan. after that the mom sat there and you could tell that she was really thinking about something and that the spirit was working on her. she then asked if in the spirit world we could teach the people who didnt accept the gospel in this life and if thats why missionary work was so important! we were amazed at what the spirit had taught her. the spirit truly does testify of truth and its amazing what we can learn if we listen to it! seeing the spirit teach people is one of my favorite parts of being a missionary! because of experiences like this i know that this church is true!
 
i hope you all have a great week!
love you
