This week we did A LOT of contacting, and found some really great people. We also taught some really great lessons, but unfortunately again didn't have anybody show up to church on Sunday. This week we literally did EVERYTHING we could to make sure our investigators would come, but nothing. It is frustrating to see people that we teach who know this is the true church, they know Joseph Smith is a prophet, they know the Book of Mormon is true, and they know they need to live the gospel, but they just won't come to church. Despite not having much success getting investigators to church, I really felt the Spirit very strongly during sacrament meeting. This week we had a brand new deacon ordained, so I didn't have to pass the sacrament, so I was able to sit down and really think about the Savior and the Atonement during the Sacrament. I can't say how important it is the come to church 5-10 minutes early and spiritually prepare to receive the sacrament. I think a lot of times its easy to just go through the motions every week partaking of the sacrament, because it happens every week, For me when I am able to really think about the Atonement, and all the things that I feel everyday that Jesus Christ felt, and to reflect on all the things that he has done for me just in these last 7 days, I am able to feel the Saviors love and the Spirit so strong, and it's truly amazing.
Otherwise, we haven't had any lessons with Sarry this whole week, because she has been sick for a while now, but today we will be having one with her, and this week she will hopefully come to church.
