8/6/18


We had a good week.  We had a confirmation for the man Rodrigue and I was asked to do the confirmation so that was different. They didn't ask me to do it again so I’d say I passed? It was great he is a wonderful man.  (there is no z on the end, it’s how I spelled it)

That was the week pretty much.  Oh yea, we had the Russian lady and her daughter come to the Sacrament meeting (they came after the sacrament) but they came so it was fun.  Actually, when they walked in my heart dropped because I was like “Oh shoot, white people!”  but then I remembered who they were.  I don’t like white people.

Transfer came they are taking my companion away so that’s no fun but it’s okay.  The work is the work and we can’t stop it. 

What did I learn this week?

A recent Convert gave an answer in out Gospel principle class. he said "Prayer is the greatest gift of God given to us on this Earth" Pretty powerful statement especially when I am slacking in my own prayers.

Also, it may seem funny that I learned this this week but, the sealing power is different than a prayer. The reason I was confused was D&C 50:28-30. I was like okay, to receive the sealing power you need to be clean completely so that makes sense.  Then I went to Nephi in the book of Helaman 10: 7-10 when he received the sealing power and nowhere there does it say ask.  The sealing power is not a power that you can ask, but that you can do.  You can seal you don’t need to ask. 

So, that’s what my week was like.  Pretty fun.

Also, if anyone has experience teaching Russians or white people in general I’d like some tips :)

Sometimes I forget I’m white.
