This week was an awesome one, the work is moving forward with confidence here in Visak. I will speak of just two solid experiences we had this week that really stuck out to me.
I don't know if I've mentioned this before haha, but we're teaching Chilakama's son, his name is Eshwar (Chilakama is a recent convert that was baptized in December). He is an auto driver and is having a lot of financial problems, but he loves the gospel so much and has incredible faith in the Savior. He works a lot and has but limited time to meet with us each week. He kept bailing on appointments we had set, which was kind of disappointing, but what can you do? YOU CAN TEACH HIS MOM!!! So we went to Chilakama's house to just share a short message with her, and as I was offering the opening prayer and praying for Eshwar, he walked in!!! He said he wasn't planning on coming to his house until later in the evening, but he felt impressed to come home for lunch and we were able to teach him!!!! He loved the lesson and he is progressing rapidly toward baptism!!
Another cool experience is that some of the investigators we teach struggle to make it to sacrament meeting on time, so we felt like we should make it a point to emphasize that in our respective lessons with them this week. But each time, before we would begin sharing our message, they expressed how they really needed to make sacrament a priority and come to church on time. Each of them did so this week. I seriously think it's awesome how inspired this work truly is and how the Lord truly truly does hear and answer prayers. How great is He?
Hope everyone has a rad week, keep it fresh.
