Another great week! We had some cools experiences! My favorite this week had to have been when we went over to the Maravilla family's home. We taught them more about the plan of salvation. Apparently there was a recent incident in our area where a moher killed her child and it really bothered one of our investigators. He told us that he couldn't believe that God would let such a thing happen. So we helped him understand more about the plan of salvation. At the end of the lesson we invited his daughter to pray becuase she has been having some cool experiences with prayer. This family used to pray to their deceased mother and we explained to them that she didn't have the power to answer their prayers but God did. One day the daughter was getting pretty mad as she thought about how her mother left her and she said it just hurt. She prayed and asked God for help and she said that she just started realizing all the good that came from what had happened. Her dad had since remarried and now She has 3 awesome siblings, is happy, has a great job, and she said her mood totally changed! It was awesome! So she said the closing prayer and during it she was tearing up and at the end she was fanning her face with her hands and kept saying "sheesh! It's so hot in here! It's so hot!" We taught her that it was the spirit! Being a missionary is the best!
This week was pretty intense. We usually have a little correlation with President before meetings like zone conferences and MLC so we can make an agenda for the meeting but for this MLC President was unable to meet up! So we planned out the meeting and gave him the agenda the night before and it went pretty well! I have a testimony that in any class or meeting in church we can receive revelation as we all participate and get involved. When the facilitator asks questions raise your hand and answer them! Not only will you be taught but everyone in the class will be taught! Even the facilitator! It's awesome how it all works out. We had a nifty member lesson this week too! We invited everyone who served a mission to recite the first vision in their mission language. It was pretty spiritual. Memories were brought back and they loved it! One in Spanish one in English and on in Japanese. 2 Nephi 19:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder; and his name shall be called, Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. This is the scripture of the week. As I read this the spirit taught me again that Jesus Christ is my savior. He's yours too! He was born for us, He was crucified for us, and he rose again for us. He did all of this so we can return home and experience everlasting happiness with our families. How awesome it is to go out and share this with the people of New York every day! I love you all! Elder Murray Pics will come later hopefully!
