My core experienced with God this week comes with teaching with one of our investigator this week. We were looking at the former investigators section of our area book, trying to call our former investigators and set up an appointment with them. We found a name of a lady named Candice in the former investigators section of our area book and felt prompted to call her and we did so as the Spirit directs on us. She answered the phone and then set up an appointment with them for us to come to get to know them and have lesson with the whole family. We were able to meet the family on that week and get to know them well and then set up an appointment with them again. They were so happy when they saw us and knowing that they are interested of what we teach us missionaries. The second visit that we have with them got cancelled and then the third and the fourth because she told us that they had been busy this past few weeks with their family and work. We were supposed to see them this Wednesday but suddenly it got cancelled again because she and her daughter went to the hospital that day for some examination. We just went to our back up plan that and hoping that we could still meet up with them again us we continue to visit the family every week.

During our weekly planning this week, we were discussing about our investigators and then a prompting came to me to call her again to set up an appointment with them. We give her a call that day but suddenly no one answers the phone and then 5 minutes after that she send us a text saying that we could meet with her family this week and then we set an appointment with them. We meet with them again this Friday and then introduced my new companion to them and then we get to know them well. We prepared a great lesson for their family about the How To Begin Teaching and the Restoration but when we got their our lesson did changed as the Spirit directs us that time. We were able to us the " How to Begin Teaching" effectively and ask some inspired questions with her and then suddenly she told us that on that day is the day that her best friend died from an accident. She looks so very sad and she also told us of the good memories that she had with her best friend and knowing that her best friend has a great impact in her life. We then change our lesson from the Restoration to Plan of Salvation which is God's plan for the happiness of all His children. The lesson that we had with her really went good and knowing that the Spirit was really there so strongly and helping us to testify of what we taught with her is true. We testified to her that " Families Can Be Together Forever" and that living with our families is not just only on this earth but also in the life to come. We also testified of " Eternal Families" and that she could still see her best friend again and with and with the words that we said with her she felt comforted and was happy about it. She also told us that she believe with those things that we said with her. We continued to talk with her about the Plan of Salvation and at the end of our lesson we invited her to read and pray for it and she then committed her self that she would love to read it. As we were about to leave their house to go to our next appointment, she told us if we can say a prayer before we leave and we did so. We prayed to bless her, her house, her house and her family and also with her best friend and she did felt the Spirit that time. We then set up an appointment with them again for the next week.

Something that I learned as "Teaching as Jesus Taught" is that as we listened to the promptings of the Spirit, the Spirit will direct us to those people who are prepared to received the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. The training that we had this week really gives me an idea that our area book is such a great help for us as missionaries. It gives us an information of those people that we need to work with and to help them resolve their concerns. If we don't keep an updated area book, then it will be impossible for the future missionaries to work well in this area. If we don't use our area book, we don't understand our purpose in here as missionaries in the Lord's vineyard. We should always update our area book so that we can feel comfortable to hand our area book to the Lord.

One great attribute that I love about with my companion is that he is really willing to learn from me as his trainer. This is one thing that I wanna developed also in my life which is being willing to learn and being willing sacrifice that I have to the Lord in any situation.
