Week72

Pretty good week. Can't really remember what happened. 

We followed up on a potential named Roslyn. She's "Catholic", but doesn't have much background in religion. She wonders why so much bad happens in the world, and if God really is there. We taught about our Heavenly Father and asked her to pray if He is there. She told us she prayed to Mary, it was the first time I had heard this response from an investigator. I've always heard this phrase as a joke. I never realized that people actually prayed to Mary. We invited her to pray to Heavenly Father, and she gave a beautiful prayer. We will continue to teach her and answer her questions.

Sheila came to church on Sunday and came to Sunday School, which she usually doesn't come to. It was good that she received an answer to her question. We have been teaching her a lot about faith and how she can act in faith to give up coffee. She told us on the way to church, she was thinking about what faith actually is. And lo and behold, the lesson today was on faith. It all worked out really well. The Sunday School teachers had planned this lesson weeks in advance but never got to teach it because of other obligations. This Sunday, they had planned to go somewhere else but felt that they should stay and teach the lesson. So everything worked out. Sheila got an answer to her question at church. We hope she feels that Heavenly Father really is watching out for her.
