It downpours and we get soaked.

Hi everybody!
This was a really, really cold week. It downpours and we get soaked. It's way fun, let me tell you! I even had a dream about buying these warm puffy gloves one night. They were SO warm!! How do you feel warmth in your dreams....I don't even know.
Anyway, church was exciting yesterday because we had 2 investigators come to church!! It's the happiest thing ever when that happens. It was a pretty spiritual sacrament meeting, so I was really grateful they were there.

The elders in our district are teaching a man who has been going to church forever, but he hasn't been baptized. He has 8 kids and he is married. We were able to go to his house this week and visit with his wife. Her name is Kiwi! We feel like she is the key. The lesson we had was really good and we helped connect her desires to coming to church and exercising her faith.
She, her husband, and her entire family were at church this Sunday. #miracles

We had a really good Zone Meeting this week. We role played tracting. The key is observing, listening, and discerning. President Fife was at the meeting so he was really involved. He is crazy good. His knowledge and experience is unreal. We have been putting into practice how to really observe, listen, and discern. It's a skill! Family: when I get home we are doing role plays for FHE. Get ready! Bahaha.

We got fed twice this week! That hasn't happened since Christmas!! It was really fun. We love the opportunity to eat food and help people learn about their Savior and their Heavenly Father. Food always brings people together. The gospel does too.

We went to a Fijian family's home one night. They were a referral from our Zone Leaders. They are teaching their daughter in their area. This family is already really strong in their beliefs so it was really hard to get anywhere with them. But we shared about the Restoration and we bore our testimonies of Jesus Christ. I know they felt the spirit.
Before we left they treated us with a song. It was SO good! I wish I could send the video but it's too big of a file. Remind me when I get home. Their voices just boomed!! We 'accidentally' left the Book of Mormon on their coffee table. We hope their hearts soften and eventually read it. I know it will change their life.
If they could really know that this is what Jesus Christ wanted them to do, they would do it in a heartbeat. They love Jesus! I think sometimes we get in the way of ourselves. Humility is key.

I forgot my camera. So, sorry. No pictures. I chopped my hair off. So that's exciting.
Have a great week. Love you all.
Love,
Sister Beardall
