This week has been super great! We had a conference with Eld. Waddell of the Area 70, and it was awesome! We always hear exactly what we need at those conferences.
This week we did a lot of teaching and it was really awesome. However, one of the things I noticed that we did more than usual was give a lesson at the doorstep. In one instance, we were sitting with a less active 14 year old girl in her doorway, (she`s the only member in her home) and I was thinking how much better it would be, if her parents would allow us in their home, and we could teach their whole family and share our message of truthfulness and happiness with everyone in the house. This situation happens regularly, where the people have questions and want to hear a message, but for some reason, don`t want to invite us in. It makes me think how often we do that in our own lives. How are we living? Are living in a way that we can allow the Savior into our homes to really teach and minister unto us, or are we simply leaning out the window or making him stand in our doorway? How much better would our lives be if we fully lived and partook of the many blessings that the Savior and His gospel have to offer us. So what can we do? Reading the scriptures every day is good. Reading the scriptures for five minutes every day is good. But in order to invite the Savior into our home and learn of Him and allow Him to minister unto us, we should STUDY the scriptures with our families and individually every day. There are things that are good, but there are always things that are better or best. Choosing the things that are BEST will help us to invite the Savior into our home.
I hope everyone is having a great week and that you are fully taking advantage of the blessings that the restored gospel brings, like temple attendance, and general conference that`s coming up soon. I love you all so much! Hasta la proxima semana!
