Obedience is key!

February 27, 2012

Hello Everyone,

This week has been pretty dang productive. Not necessarily with the number of lessons we taught but with the number of new investigators we found. We found 7 new people to teach this week. I don't know about y’all in Mexico but 7 is a good number here in the smoggy city of Riverside. It is amazing how the Lord blesses those who are obedient. Blessings truly come when we are obedient, One of my favorites, "There is a law, irrevocably decreed in heaven before the foundations of this world, upon which all blessings are predicated".

One of the methods Elder McGill and I have found is very effective to bringing in the spirit is we ask if we can simply sing a hymn from my mini hymnbook before we begin. Dang it brings the Spirit in like a brick wall. We made about 12 (new key indicator) people cry this week because we do a mean "Senor te Necesito". Elder McGill has perfect pitch along with a beautiful voice so it works out. I usually sing alto or tenor and McGill does the melody. Unfortunately NONE of the people we sang for showed up to Sacrament meeting. Frustrations rose as Sacrament meeting started and they didn’t’ show up, but as soon as I took the sacrament I was good.

Hyrum Dominguez from the ward is leaving on his mission to Dallas Texas soon. He'll do really well. He gave an awesome farewell talk. I've picked up another free guitar from a member and play a little bit with the little amount of time we have after planning before we go to bed.

It's nice to FINALLY see some progress come out of working and being disgustingly obedient. That's all this week! Love ya!
