This
week we had some pretty cool lessons. First off DTM went really good it was
awesome! I taught about diligence and we discussed things that have happened
from talking with everyone and bore testimony of it, the spirit got super
strong and then we did a practice that was so fun! We had a companionship go
out of the room and picked someone to be the person that would accept then the
companionship had to find the person. I also had everyone act like a special
person, like a drunk person, parents, and stuff like that. The last
companionship was the sister training leaders and we all acted like we were a
family and the dad was the one that would accept when they would contact him we
would call him over to help us and so they couldn’t really talk to him. By the
end of it the sister training leaders were doing the "Kamie squat"
trying not to pee their pants because they were laughing so hard! It was super
fun!
This week at English
class we had an awesome spiritual share. We chose to do it on Life’s purpose
and the Atonement. We asked them what things helped them be happy and what
things made them sad then what things they needed. We watched a Mormon message called "what
matters most" and talked a little about that then talked about putting
others first and serving others. We said Christ was a perfect example of this
and if you really want true happiness you could get it through following him,
we watched a video on his Atonement and at the end shared more testimony and by
the end almost everyone's eyes were filled with tears trying not to cry! That
is the first time the spirit has ever been that strong at an English class it
was so cool and really helped strengthen my testimony on the Savior! I truly
Love the spirit!
We are teaching a
sisters mom! She is in our district and her mom is meeting with us how weird is
that!!! Sister Lin is from where I am serving but went to Taipei for school and
turned her papers in up there and then got called down to the Taichung mission
and her mom has investigated the church but never got baptized because of the Sabbath
day and her work. She owns a fruit stand and Sundays are the busiest day of the
week so it is really hard for her to not work. This Friday I was planning
for her and I wasn’t really sure what to teach her and what to share so I
prayed and when I finished I thought of a story that I had not ever read before
but I knew it was in a liahona (I know, kind of weird but that’s the spirit
haha) so I grabbed a couple Liahona's and started reading where I thought it
would be. The first one had a story that was on the Sabbath but it wasn’t the
right one so I grabbed the next one and found a story on working on Sunday and
opening his candy store for a Holiday so I was pretty impressed but it wasn’t
quite what I was looking for so I grabbed another one and this story was
exactly what came to my mind when I was praying!!! It was so cool! It was exactly
like Lin mama's life and story! Then in the lesson she shared an experience,
last week she prayed about working on Sunday and then went to work. At work 3
people asked her about her religion and she said I guess I am Christian"
and then her customers got mad at her for working on Sunday because they knew
Christians don't do that! SO COOL!!! This Sunday she was at church and stayed for the whole thing! Pray for
her and that she will be able to receive the blessings from keeping the Sabbath
and trusting in the Lord!!!
Love you all and hope
you have a great week!
Love Elder Roberts
