Hello everyone!
General Conference was awesome! The talkes were amazing. We went to church and saw them there with some ward members. So last week, my companion, Sister Pierson and I decided to knock on at least 15 doors per day. We decided to try this approach ended up finding three potential investigators ( all of them living on different streets) that have the same name- Christy. That blew our minds. We are coming back this week to teach them and crossing our fingers for the best :) We had to go through our "teaching pool" and drop some people, which was sad. I had been with some of the other sisters teaching this one woman named Janae, who you could tell really wanted to learn more about the Gospel and come to church. She had been getting into some heavy drugs though, so we had to drop her. It was hard because you can see how much potential someone and then all of a sudden, things start to happen that thwart your plans. But that is how it is. It isn't easy and will never be easy. That is what Elder Holland said. He actually gave a really good talk about how we ask ourselves, "Why aren't they [investigators]doing this? Why aren't they doing that?" It wasn't easy for the Savior, Elder Holland said, so why would it be easy for us? I have to step back sometimes and think about that and how many times things won't go as planned. But as long as we are putting forth our best effort and trying, being dilligent and obedient, Heavenly Father will help us and show us the way. We have been seeing people come back to church, which has been such a blessing :) I know that more wonderful things will happen. it is all in His timing. If we plant those seeds now, they will grow in the future. That I know is true.
I love all of you and hope you all are doing well.
Love,
Sister Habibpour
