Week 38- "So Ethan.. I heard that Joseph Smith went to prison one time." "Yeah and so did Jesus."

Another week has gone by and i cant believe how fast October has gone! This time last year i was opening my mission papers to find out that i would be leaving on Jan 24 to start my mission! It honestly feels like that was almost a couple of months ago, if that. 

This last week we had zone training meeting and it went a little differently than usual. This whole transfer has been a little different, but a good different! We found 2 new investigators last night and we had an amazing talk about the temple. The husband, Enrique, was able to help with the building of the Payson Temple and then they we're given a walk through afterwards. Enrique also told us of a story about how he would always drive by the temple as it was being built and one day he felt like he should go in and ask if they needed help with any tile work. He asked a man that was working and he directed him to a place upstairs. As he was walking upstairs he saw the man he was supposed to talk to.. but he was praying. He waited til the man finished praying and then asked him if he was in need of workers for tiling. The man became teary eyed and said Enrique was the answer to his prayers. What a neat experience. You could feel the Spirit fill the room and Enrique began to speak softly as he told the story. It always reminds me how the Spirit talks in a still small voice. We need to remember to always be in a position to hear that voice. Even though Enrique may not have know it was the Spirit telling him to go and ask if they needed help for tiling, but I know it was and he now know it as well. We are so blessed to have the Spirit with us as we are worthy of it. The Lord wants to help us and he does through the prompting of the Spirit who is His messenger. 

We are so blessed to have a loving Heavenly Father and a merciful brother who is Jesus Christ. It brings me to my knees in gratitude, it also makes me want to stand up afterwards and do His work with more love and diligence. I love this complete gospel that gives me the knowledge I have and how I can continue to grow. Sometimes I feel that I have no more room to grow but there is ALWAYS a way through Him. 

I love y'all!
