The spirit is always willing to guide us

Well I can't wait to talk to you soon, its coming up. But like I said, I have been staying up till like 1 or 2 trying to catch up, but I know the promise from Elder scott last conf is true as I have truly lived this promise, everytime I study late at night, I ask the lord for energy, and he always gives it. SCRIPTURES>sleep. The scriptures are more important than sleep.

But this week we had a pretty cool exp., after this meeting or training that we have with President Douglas, he told elder Ivancovich and I that he felt impressed to tell us that we needed to find a family that day. So we were super pumped all day, just looking everywhere. all afternoon, however we werent finding anyone. Until about 8:15 came around and we were like , man we are running out of time.. and we have no one to visit. and we only had 45mins left till we had to be in the house. And then we both decided that we need to say a prayer. So we went around the corner, and elder invancovich offered the prayer, that we would find the family, that our Saviour had promised us, because President is the mouth piece of the Saviour, and right when he started the prayer, a map showed up in my mind,  not a specific map, it was like a dark map, then a darkish dot showed up on the map, and I knew exacted where we needed to go! and the Spirit indicated that we needed to go up the hill. And when he finished the prayer we felt good, and I followed the spirit exactly where it had indicated me to go. And just a little bit up the hill was a man playing in the street with his kids. And I knew it was the man we needed to contact, we contacted him , and he asked us where we were headed, if we were going visit someone in the neighborhood. But we told him or asked him if we could teach him. and he gladly invited us in his house. And we taught him and his younger crazy little kids that are super cute. they are great.

however the ward limits changed so we had to give them up.

But I know the spirit is always willing to guide us, if just listen. But we cant listen if we are not worthy or obedient. We had to be dilligent to the rules and instructions of the mission, or better said, the Lord.

I know this might sound cheesy but , the story I told you is true but like it says in alma 56.44 I was was called, or I chose to accept the calling. And the 46-47 verses talk about the mothers, and I know that through your teachings and counsels your were able to help and you helped me and are helping me complete my acceptance to the calling. So thank you. You are the best and would have been a better missionary than me. you are the best. I love you so much!

Love your son.
