Faith, don't overthink, trust The Lord


This week was not the best in teaching and finding a whole lot of people, but this week i did have two really cool experiances. on friday we were talking with a member of the church and we were talking about a friend that they had that had listened to the missionaries before but here parents were not too accepting, but me and my companion were saying that it would not hurt to try again and after about five minutes of talking to them, they started giving us the information of their friend and right as we started writing it down the friend came to the house and we were able to talk to her in person and she was really excited to talk to the missionaries again. Then kind of the same thing happened on sunday. we were passing by the house of a less active member to remind them of church and one of his neighbors passed by the house and said that she loved the church and she wanted to come today, but we needed to get permission from her mother and the less active member needed to attend. who would have guessed that the permission was easier to get the the less active member to go to church. he said he would but as we were coming around to pick them up he had left to go play soccer. i was mad. the good news is we had four people at the church today, none of which were people week had invited it was a family that a member brought to chuch and we were lucky enough to talk to them before the sisters. so this week was not bad, but i am hoping this next week will be better.
This week i was studying more about the faith. and the popular scripture that i have come to like more and more is that the faith is not a perfect knowledge in alma 32:21. there are many people who want more time to think things through to asure themselves in decisions and in the process of doingso overthink a little bit. there are times in life when we need to just run with our faith and the lord will help us with the rest, but we have to trust in him that he will help us make  the right choice.
I hope everybody enjoys the week coming.
