This week we have stayed busy and have been having lots of great lessons. One of the greatest experiences this week was with our cute friend Diana. We taught her the Plan of Salvation. Recently we realized that we need to be teaching the Plan of Salvation as a lesson about the Atonement of Jesus Christ and the impact it has on us now and in eternity instead of teaching about us and then fitting the Atonement into the picture. The Plan of Salvation is the Atonement. As we taught the lesson more focused on Him, our desire to share with her was so much greater. The love the God blessed us to feel for this sweet girl was really amazing. She is progressing really well and even in a few lessons we have seen her faith grow. Her prayers are really sincere and you can really see her desire to know if God is there.
Another amazing miracle from this week was with Carmen Ionica. She came to church again this Sunday. It was amazing to see her take the sacrament and renew her covenants again! Then as the testimonies were being borne she was very touched and she leaned over to me and asked if it would be okay for her to say a few things. I told her that it would be fine. She went up and shared that she was a recently returning member but that God has showed her that she needs to be here. It was a short but powerful testimony.
We have seen a lot of amazing miracles lately and have been feeling the power of the Holy Ghost giving us the words to say, when we need to say them. I have noticed that if we are prepared and willing God will give us challenges that turn out to be miracles.
Sora Erickson is doing really well and has been taking the lead in a few lessons and has been working so hard. She is an amazing example and I am so lucky to be her companion. We are always up and praying at 6:30 and something that I try to do every morning is to say "Today is going to be a great day." and then I give a little cheer or jump or something and it really always is true haha.
Love you so much!
Sora James
