Week 71, December 12, 2016

Hello Everybody! 

We had 12 L/w (where a member is with us when we teach) lessons!!! I think that's the most I've ever had in one week my whole mission! We have continued to work with members to go on splits and this week was particularly successful. A returned missionary in the 4th ward went out with Sis. Soakai and they went and visited all of her friends. She is amazing! You can feel that she loves the Lord and still wants to serve Him. I'm very pleased with how our wards are growing and our Stake President feels the same way. 
We continue to work with Darren Draney and his family; he told us that he's okay with baptism but he doesn't feel he has the faith to be baptized yet. We are sharing multiple scriptures with him about faith (we have used Alma 32) and he is reading the Book of Mormon, he just isn't sure. We try to explain that faith isn't a sure knowledge, but he likes to question everything so it's slow progress for him. I love that man and I really do feel that he is close, he just needs to accept his answer. We are also teaching his daughter, Amber. She has a lot of questions and she really likes us so she asks her questions. I feel that she has a true desire to learn more about God and spiritual things, it's just a bit hard when we are around her dad who demands attention. I'm excited to see how they progress this week.
We found a new investigator named Seth; we were tracting and he happened to be home that night! He hasn't had too much interaction with the church but he has had significant people in his life who were members. He had a few questions for us and we answered them and then tied into the Restoration. We invited him to come to church and he said he might, but he didn't come, so we are aiming for next week! He said he would read the Book of Mormon and we have a lesson with him tonight, so we'll be able to follow up then. I'm really excited that we found him! Now, to help him prepare for baptism.
We are seeing miracles everyday and I love it! The Lord has truly been blessing us with tender mercies and I enjoy recording them. The growth this area has been seeing is astonishing and I am so grateful for all of the people I've met. Sis. Soakai and I are super close and I love working with her. Life is good, we are working hard, and faith our fears. I know that obedience brings happiness, repentance is real, and miracles still happen. 
I'm sorry my email wasn't super detailed this week (though I'm sure a few of you are grateful for that!) but those are the major events. I love you all and I hope you have a great week! Remember who you are!

Love,
Sister Lindh
