This email is going to be rather short because not very much happened this week. We had Zone meeting on Wednesday, MLCM on Thursday, Interviews on Friday and General Conference on Saturday and Sunday. In other words this week was a great week to be a missionary! I hope you all caught the message of missionary work that was so prominent during conference! I know we sure did! But then again I am a missionary.
We got to teach Sebastian this on Thursday and it was indescribable. He is agnostic but since meeting us said he wants to believe that there is more. He told us of his past struggles and how he believes we and our church could help him. We told him that as missionaries we are not sent to teach people about the church but about the Gospel of Jesus Christ as restored to the Prophet Joseph Smith. He had done his research and knew about Joseph Smith, he told us that he knew about him being a prophet. We helping him know of Gods love for him, because he is Gods son. He really liked hearing that. We got a texted from him on Sunday morning telling us of the drastic changes he had made in his life since we met on Thursday and how grateful he was that we are helping him see his full potential! He told us about how he was watching conference and had some of is questions answered but he still had more for us and asked us to come over after the last session of conference. That night he told us about the joy he saw on the speakers faces and how he wants an needs that in his own life. We told him about the Plan of Happiness and the spirit was so strong. I cried but it was dark on his front pourch and he didn't notice. After Sister Lindsay and I bore our testimonies of the Atonement he started to choke up and almost started to cry. He told us he wants to be baptized but it will take a lot for him to get there.
This week was good! and I am running out of time! You know I love you and pray for you all!
Love Sister Witt.
ps keep working on the challenges!
