Not too much to say

Well there is not too much to say from this week. I think the highlight of the week was going on exchanges with Elder Henderson this week. It was one of the most fun exchange that I have ever been on! We were able to find some cool people that seem to have interest!

One cool miracle came from contacting. Elder Henderson and I decided to do quidditch contacting (我的英文很差)which means we have a certain point system for outcomes of the contact. But we are looking for the Golden Snitch! The snitch is a person with the last name that we picked to be the snitch. It has to be a name that is not super rare but not super common. You all probably do not understand. That's ok. Just think that it's cool. We picked the last name of to be the snitch. Well our contacting time was about over and we were heading to dinner and as we biked past a 7 Elder Henderson waved to a lady sitting at the window and she waved back. He said, "Hey let's go talk to her!" So we did. Turns our her name is 朱! When she told us we had a big grin on our face haha. What was cool is that even though she didn't have any interest, we asked her for a referral and she said her daughter might have interest and we should call her another time to see! We are still trying to get in touch but it was awesome!

We had zone conference this week and President Teh really wants us to work harder on finding with the spirit. Our mission uses little hand out things we call tracts that we give to people and such. He felt that too many missionaries were relying on the tracts to find and teach so he decided we are no longer using them at all! So awesome! I love the changes President Teh has made! We have already felt a huge difference in the way we have  been finding (not that we relied on the tracts before) but we are really trying to be guided by the spirit. I love it!

Lastly, I want to share a scripture that I read in personal study. It is in 1 Nephi 
10:17 

I, Nephi, having heard all the words of my father, concerning the things which he saw in a vision, and also the things which he spake by the power of the Holy Ghost, which power he received by faith on the Son of God

I really loved this scripture because us as missionaries definitely want to teach by the power of the Holy Ghost so we need faith on the Son of God. But even if we aren't a missionary we can still speak with the power of the Holy Ghost. I can't even mention how many times I have been touched by a member or friends testimony because they were speaking by the power of the spirit. It is so important to strengthening ours and others testimonies!


Well that's about it!

Love
Elder Anderson
