"...We were not having much luck with getting in to homes to teach. As we were walking to try another family, we almost passed by a man who was outside with his son. We went back to talk with him, and at first, it just started off as a typical contact. We were able to share a scripture with him and have a good overview with him about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We asked to end with a prayer, and after we prayed, we looked up to see him with tears in his eyes. The Spirit was strong. We then asked if he knew anyone else that would benefit from a prayer or this message, and he paused for a moment, and then said his brother would."
"... I was battling feelings of self-doubt and depression, so I said a prayer out loud by myself at the end of the day before we went to bed. I love saying prayers out loud. I really feel as if Heavenly Father is right there with me, listening and answering me. It's a great conversation. So I talked about everything in my prayer, my feelings, investigators, my personal progress, etc., and I listened too. The best part though was towards the end. Just as I was kneeling there praying and crying over these hard things, an image came to my head of Christ kneeling in agony and paying the price for my sins, my pains, my heartaches. I felt Him right there next to me, kneeling there with me, feeling these things with me. I received comfort, and I know I am not alone. Those times in which I feel I can't go on, I am reminded that someone better went through this before me so that I do not have to go through these hard things by myself."
"...I am just so grateful for the opportunity to be here on my mission. I am learning so much. Especially about how much Heavenly Father desires to be in our lives, and how much influence He does have when we seek Him."
