Trust in The Lord

Yesterday a less active that we had been teaching was having a hard time. He has a kid about 2 years old and his girlfriend wants to take her to Louisiana with her but he won't have. I thought he was kind of a burn out but his whole entire life is based around his baby and i was very impressed by that. He does everything for his kid hopefully we can get him coming back to church but he asked me to give him a blessing at this hard time in his life and so i did. I must say wow! The power you feel when you are working for the lord in that aspect is amazing. You can feel the spirit burning within you as you say the words that just come. I didn't think about what to say i just said it and everyone was either close to tears or crying. It was one of the top most spiritual experiences of my life for sure. I have had so many opportunities to give blessings and every time I get nervous and worry but then it all works out. I must say i have learned to trust in the Lord that He will guide me in everything I do. My trainer is making me do everything this transfer and although that is really annoying sometimes I am grateful because I am learning so much more than just tagging along.

We taught Jared this last Sunday and it was really good, he asked questions and I honestly think that he wants to know whether or not its true and the best part is that he wants to know for himself. It was great we taught him about the gospel of Jesus Christ! Our other investigator Tim is or was a smoking, unorganized spaz but now I have seen the gospel change him. He listens and responds like a normal person, he quit smoking and he is legit! He is having his family members fly in to witness his baptism! I know we will have 2 baptisms this April for sure!! 

Everything is going great out here and i am having a blast I had crawfish for the first time and it was pretty good but that is all we had and its normally a side to the main meal but the best part is when you suck out the brains! We are having a great time out here and everything is going great. I am glad that i get to be out here doing the lords work and i will have more stories for you next week when i have more time :)

I must say that this is what i am supposed to be doing and that I am here for a reason! I know that all the littler things are annoying to here about but that is truly what it takes to stay in tune with the Lord and His Spirit. Prayer is a powerfull thing we can ask your maker for help, guidance, and comfort. If you own father can get you a great gift on this earth imagine the gift the your perfect Father in Heaven is waiting to give you if you just ask. I have had so many of my prayers answered. Just Pray :)

I don't think I have any really crazy stories right now about anything but I will be sure to let ya'll know if i get some :)
 Trust in the Lord!
