Make Time to Be Still

So the weather was below average all week and it pretty much rained from Wednesday to Friday non stop. Then Saturday the wonderful place of Ontario decided to have ice fall out of the sky for two days. It was insane. It literally looked like salt granules or something. It just shut down Peterborough for the whole weekend. We could kind of drive on Sunday and pretty much everyone was at home so it was a solid experience.

Our investigators have a baptismal date, both set them for the 5th of May. They are both doing really good and are coming close to Jesus Christ in the process. One of them wants to start getting involved with the church and start helping people out. It was cool to see as he started getting closer to Jesus Christ he wanted to start helping people. 

I was able to go on exchanges with Elder Tetauru. He is a super good guy. I really like being around him. We had a good exchange. We did some service and some finding and just an overall good day. We got a couple of return appointments and one of them is potentially a family so it should be good.

Something I have been focusing a lot on in the last week is receiving revelation everyday, and I was reading the Book of Mormon and I came across Alma 26:22--

Yea, he that repenteth and exerciseth faith, and bringeth forth good works, and prayeth continually without ceasing-unto such it is given to know the mysteries of God; yea, unto such it shall be given to reveal things which never have been revealed; yea, and it shall be given unto such to bring thousands of souls to repentance, even as it has been given unto us to bring these our brethren to repentance.

It lays out a super good way to to receive revelation and just put down the process. Something that stuck out to me was that you need to make time to be still and ponder and give the spirit space to put things into your heart that Heavenly Father wants you to hear. I have been trying to do that the last few days and it has been a great experience. Something especially important for everyone to know is that God loves them.
