It has been a wonderful week for me with General Conference and the sweet spirit that accompanies it. We were able to watch conference with someone new each session. We watched conference with an investigator, recent converts, and less-actives. Each session we had a good experience. My questions I take to general conference are always specifically answered which bears witness to the divinity of their authority. That was a pretty spiritual experience.
We had a couple of really good experiences with some of our investigators this week. We taught a lady named Jennifer who receives her answers to prayers in dreams. She said that she felt like the theme of the dream until the night before the lesson had been focused around learning more and continuing to put effort into things and study. The dream she had the night before the lesson she said she couldn't understand. She described a large and capacious building she was stuck in and she was trying to get out because she didn't like it in there. She said that there was a lion guarding the door and she took the lion to represent fear. After a spiritual lesson, we shared a scripture in 1 timothy that talks about fear is not a feeling from God that the feelings that God gives us are uplifting, loving, and inspiring. She is now working toward a baptismal date. I have found significantly less enjoyment teaching lessons, and I have found significantly greater joy in teaching people. I love the moments when the people we teach recognize answers they received from prayer, when they understand a true principle, or receive the blessings from living that true principle and desire more principles to apply and understand. I love the promptings of the spirit that lead and guide the people we teach if we are humble.
My fingers are tired:( Love you all take care!
