Elder Queston Jim Armijo: It shows how simple the Gospel is.........March 23,2013

Well this week has been so good! I mean I've been trying hard to not think about like going home and stuff and I always wondered why missionaries who were close to going home talked about it and now I know, but it hasn't hindered the work at all It's made it that much better! We did a lot of finding this week and we had some great success as well! It's been really cold lately so there aren't many people out on the streets so we go knocking.Let me tell ya when it's cloudy or rainy or snowy the English society shuts completely down ha so that can make it difficult for us! but we had a great week. We found this man from Ireland and his two boys like two weeks ago and we couldn't get a hold of them at all which was kinda sad but we had a Yeovil Ward Missionary day and well basically we had a fake mission president over us and the youth and they made companionship's and then we had a mini MTC where the youth was taught by various leaders how to teach the plan of salvation and then we were meant to go off and do missionary work with our youth companion. What they did was set up appointments from referrals from the members and so most of us had teaches.My companion was a sweet 14 year old kid who I had met once before and we taught the plan of salvation to a part member family and it was amazing and he did so well at teaching it too! The spirit was so strong in the teach and we were both able to feel that this lady needed to join the church so we taught to her needs. We then tried to stop by a few people and they weren't in but I had the prompting to stop by the Irish man and his two boys and we did. It was a far walk and when we got there they were outside in the car so I knocked on the window and said hello and he invited us in. My companion was nervous lol cause we didn't plan on teaching again but we sat down, had a great chat about the mans life and then taught him the plan of salvation again and my 14 yr old companion did awesome! The man felt the spirit and accepted to be baptized as well as his two sons and they are committed to coming to church this next week! it was a miracle and the missionary day was so awesome we got tons of referrals from it and I cant wait to go out and teach more people the gospel! it was just a big testimony builder for me in terms of seeing a 14 year old teach the gospel , it shows how simple the Gospel is but how difficult WE make it (Alma 37 , last five versus in the chapter) I love this gospel and I loved seeing the youth give up a Saturday to go be a missionary for the day, I know I wouldn't have done it! the Church is true! love you all! 24 days!!!!
