Ministering in Miranda

4.16.18

Hey everyone!

Another short email because my companion found out he has bronchitis. He will be alright though. 
We spoke in sacrament meeting down at the Miranda branch. We spoke on ministering and what it should look like. I talked about President Nelson's talk during the priesthood session on ministering. The story about someone who he was assigned to minister and eventually brought him back to the church.

I have a strong testimony of ministering. I know that it is inspired of God and that the Spirit will tell you what you need to say and where to go. 
The people down in the branch are super appreciative to have missionaries come down and speak. They told us how great it was and also fed us a wonderful lunch and sent us home with two  loaves of homemade bread! If I ever feel unappreciated as a missionary, I'll just go down there. 

I encourage you all to try to feel the influence of the Spirit as you go throughout this week. Take time to listen to others and really care about them. 

Thanks for all the great emails this week! I really love them!  Song of the Week is Lovely Day by Bill Withers.
Have a lovely one!
