Faith is Power

Monday- Pday. We just relaxed all day. We tried visiting a couple people but they weren't home. So we visited a less active

Tuesday- We contacted with not much success. And then tried visited a less active but they weren't home either. 

Wednesday- We found an investigator from a while back who said we could come by again. We had a little success contacting. We tried a couple investigators then visited a less active. 

Thursday- We had zone training today. Then we tried going to a recent convert but they weren't home. Victor wasn't home either. We were able to talk with Orlando out on the street for a couple minutes.

Friday- Did our weekly planning. We tried visiting a few people but they weren't home. but we have 1 new potential. Started intercambios. I was with Elder Shearer in our area.

Saturday- We had English class in the morning. No one came so we helped clean the church. We found a couple potentials and found a less active in our area. I cut my hair. It's a little shorter than I wanted but oh well.

Sunday- We had church and had like 40 people there. We tried visiting a few people but they weren't home. We were able to visit a less active though and that was good.

This week I read a talk called Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ by Gene R. Cook. It was GREAT! He talks about faith and gives a couple ways to increase our faith. 1. Be believing 2. commit yourself 3. do your part 4. pray 5. expect trails of your faith 6. expect the Lord to act

I really liked this talk. If you all get a chance to, read it.

Not being able to visit our investigators that we have

Not finding the investigators. Not being able to teach them

10.  Which scripture has had the biggest impact on you this week?  Were you able to use any Scripture Mastery? :)

I really like I don't remember where it is exactly. I believe it is Moroni or Mormon who says it. They say "I am a disciple of Christ." 

(Mom note:  it was Mormon in 3 Nephi 5:13 Behold, I am a disciple of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I have been called of him to declare his word among his people, that they might have everlasting life.)
