I am doing really good! I've had a really great week! Elder Goje and I worked really hard to contact new investigators and it paid off. We were able to find and teach 13 new people and 6 of them came to church yesterday so that was really SWEET!
We ended up getting a referral from the Stake President's daughter. The referral just happened to be a friend of hers and they go to school together. Her name is Sarah and she is 14. Sarah's little sister, Precious is also very interested in becoming a member of the church. We met them for the first time on Thursday and we invited them to church and they both ended up coming. Sarah heard some people bare their testimonies and so she wrote her own testimony down. After church we went to visit them and asked if they had any questions. Sarah told us that she had written down her testimony and wanted to read to us. So we listened to her read her very simple but powerful testimony.
I gave a talk in sacrament meeting and my topic was "The joy that we get from service". I shared the parable that Jesus taught about service found in Matthew 25:34-40 and Mosiah 2:17, 41. As we keep the commandments from God we will be blessed in all things. We are all here on earth for the same reason and we all go through different trials. We need to help each other along the way and we can do that by making someones burdens lighter. We need to serve each other and show our love for our neighbors and for our Savior and our Father in Heaven.
