Elder Gabriel and I have been
quite busy juggling appointments with members and people we are teaching in
both Centurion 1 and 2. By the end of the day we can't seem to figure out where
all the time went.
We were able to have an
awesome lesson with Caleb and Nushka this week, well two actually. On Tuesday,
as we were driving, an impression came to me that we needed to call them to
schedule a time to visit them. As soon
as I told my companion, we looked to the side and saw Caleb walking down the
road. We stopped the car and starting
talking with him. He invited us to meet
him and Nushka at a sports bar down the road so that we could talk. Well, when we arrived Caleb just wanted to
have a casual conversation about life and to play a game of pool. While I spoke
with him Elder Gabriel had the opportunity to have a more spiritual
conversation with Nushka. After about an hour we scheduled to visit them on
Thursday. After leaving Elder Gabriel shared with me the conversation he had
with Nushka. We immediately ran to the chapel where we downloaded some
inspirational messages that we felt she needed to hear. Elder Gabriel and I both felt a prompting that
we shouldn't wait to show these to her. We
immediately called them and asked if we could come visit them at their home in
30 minutes. When we arrived we had a wonderful lesson about how God understands
each of us and about the atonement of our Savior Jesus Christ. When we left their home there was a light
emanating from Nushka that was not previously there.
On Thursday we were then able
to have another lesson with them where we spoke about God, his nature, and the
Plan of Salvation.
This week we've been
preparing a lot for Sibo's baptism. She is scheduled to be baptized on August
18th. Elder Gabriel and I were both a
bit concerned that she may not fully have a testimony of the Restored Gospel. On Saturday these concerns were put at ease. Elder Gabriel and I both felt that we needed
to ask her the baptismal interview questions to receive a spiritual
confirmation if she is ready for baptism. As we asked her the questions she began asking
us questions as well. These were types
of questions that she had never asked in the past 3 months of us teaching her. These questions brought the confirmation of
her desire to repent, and her testimony of the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ.
She will be interviewed tomorrow night!
An interesting scripture I
read and understood this week. 1 Nephi 15:27:
27 "And I said
unto them that the water which my father saw was filthiness; and so much was his mind swallowed up in other
things that he beheld not the filthiness of the water."
Love, Elder Rash
