| Trinidad Zone Conference Mission Home |
It was a very exciting week here in Trinidad!
On Tuesday we had an all day meeting in Valsayn in the
mission home with president and sister Mehr! It was cool because it was their
very last zone conference tour of the mission before they go home on July 1st.
It was super inspiring! Sister Mehr talked about testimonies and taught a lot
of the doctrine of testimonies. President Mehr talked to us about the Atonement
and how we can best study the atonement to apply it to our investigators! It
was so sweet! It was an inspired message and I loved every minute!
On Wednesday we were able to do some service at a
less-actives house moving some dirt and got some sweet blisters! We also had an
amazing lesson with one of our mostly deaf investigators. It is so cool to try
and simplify lessons to where the only communication that is happening is if
she can read our lips. It is difficult and takes time, but the spirit is super
strong. We were able to explain the principle of Priesthood to her and she
understood and loves coming to church! She is so prepared to receive the
gospel!
On Thursday we headed out to a part of our area that used to
be it's own area itself so there is a good number of members out there who
aren't able to really come to church because of how expensive it would be to
try and get all 20 or so of them into town to get there. So twice a week we
head out there to make sure they know that they aren't forgotten. On
Thursdays we do individual visits with the families. So we were able to go and
just see how each family is doing and share a message with them specifically
and see what we can do to help! So that has been a really great experience to
get to bring the spirit into these people's homes who wouldn't have otherwise
had wonderful spiritual experiences! It's great!
On Friday we did our studies in the morning and then we went
on a trade off with the Zone Leaders who serve in Arima. I was able to go and
serve with Elder Grimm. He's a great guy and we taught some sweet lessons! One
of our last appointments for the night was with a man who has been through a
lot lately and is open for anything that will help him to draw closer to God!
It was so cool to see him so touched with the message of our Heavenly Father's
love and the fact that there is a living day prophet on the earth. it was very
powerful!
Saturday morning we woke up and headed to do some service
taking apart this man's wooden house to eventually build a new brick wall in
the place of it, but we only had time to do the tearing down part. So after
smacking around the house for a bit we headed home to study and then to trade
back. After finishing lunch we headed back out to Matura just like we did on
Saturday and watched the Meet the Mormons movie with them! They loved it and it
was way cool to see so many people come out to it!
Sunday was Ward Conference in Sangre Grande and the stake
president came out with his counselors and gave great talks in sacrament
meeting and in ward council they were able to help us
It was a very spiritual week and I'm excited for another
one!
Much Love, Elder Dorrance
