This past week has been a great week for teaching lessons and helping the people we teach feel the Spirit. To start off on the finding front, this week we have had several miracles. We got into a couple of part member homes from randomly knocking on their doors and they let us in. Each time only the member was there, but we managed to set up future lessons where the whole family could come and listen. Beyond that, there was also a young man who came to church that invited himself over and has several friends in the ward that we are now teaching. The miracles have been coming as we have put in the faith and it is great to see.
Another fun event that occurred was a movie night our ward put on which all the missionaries in the zone helped out with. The ward put on Meet the Mormons, and the missionaries were able to blitz Winston as well as invite our investigators on over to see. In the end we had several investigators attend as well as several less active ward members. It was a fun event that really allowed the ward to work with the missionaries and it was a nice change of pace.
On the teaching front we also had several great lessons. First of all, we got to teach a man named Philip. The Spirit was very strong and we were able to really discuss the importance of baptism among a series of other subjects. In the end he said that he will pray to find out if he should be baptized and he came to church this past Sunday. We also got to teach several other lessons to various people from all walks of life. It was a great week as far as teaching goes and in each lesson the Spirit was definitely felt and was the true teacher.
The work promises to move on here in Winston, and despite whatever may happen, God's hand leads the way. It is amazing to get to be part of this work and I look forward to seeing further miracles happen in the upcoming week. Thanks for all of the support!
