Quick update: Two weeks ago Elder Larsen left for his original assignment in Panama and I was placed into a trio with Elders Arnell and Egbert, and we've been double-covering over our two areas. This past week Elder Arnell left for Guatemala, so our trio's down to two. Double-covering over two progressing areas has been challenging, and we've been super busy ever since, but it's great to have things to do!
Embarrassing story: Earlier this week we were in a zone call and the zone leaders asked who had completed their goals for the day. Due to shifting areas we had forgotten to set a goal that day, so me and Elder Arnell turned to each other and high fived for completion of our goal by default. Well, the zone leaders noticed our celebration and asked us to share our experience. We then had to awkwardly explain that we had in fact not actually accomplished a goal. Oops.
Spiritual Experience: I had a really cool experience recently with following the spirit. We were meeting with a less active member. He didn't have a lot of time to talk, but he agreed to listen to a short spiritual message. As we began sharing a message, I felt prompted to ask when the last time he had prayed was. I asked the question, and I was surprised when he admitted that it had been many years since the last time he had prayed, and that he felt like he really needed it right now. Our message immediately shifted gears and we were able to share a brief testimony of the power of prayer. The spirit helped us to identify the man's needs and help him to come unto Christ. The Holy Ghost is real! He will work through us to help others!
I hope you all have a blessed week!
Love Elder Watts
