Noone Cares How Much You Know, Until They Know How Much You Care

 This week has been pretty crazy! I am in a new area with a new companion in a new apartment so it's been fun trying to get to know everything! 6 Elders in the same apartment usually would be super messy and crazy but we have kept things pretty organized and we have cooked and baked a ton! My comp as mentioned before, speaks mostly Spanish so I am seeing a really crazy improvement in my everyday speaking!! I also have a car that I named Baby Clifford (picture below) and it is my precious child haha. I am the only one in my district that has a car and I'm the only one who can drive it. The problem with that us I have to give a lot of rides... but it's fun at times.

Right now in this area my comp and I have an interested person who is super committed and goes to seminary at her school and everything!!! We are trying to do what we can to explain the importance of baptism and why it needs to be done sooner rather than later so it was a good opportunity for me to have a little more action than just first lesson calls haha. I love the people in this area!! The members are super nice and we gave already had 3 service projects this week! I'm very excited to see how the rest of the transfer is going to look!

This week I was able to apply one of my favorite sayings from my Dad. A couple of our calls have been majority talking and a little bit of scripture for 1 simple reason, "noone cares how much you know until they know how much you care." If you remember my saying last week, this explains how you go about touching a persons heart first. One of our lessons was almost completely just listening to the problems of the individual and using the scriptures to allow them to find solace in the love of God. It is so important to allow people to see that you care before attempting to, as I mentioned before, intrigue their mind. Especially right now people are interested to know how to find peace and comfort and I am so lucky to be able to testify of how accessible that is for everyone.
