the power of prayer depends on YOU

Dear Family

If you have a difficult task before you, Heavenly Father is pleased when you get on your knees and ask for help and get on your feet and go to work.*

This week we found VIVIANA a friend of an Hermana in our ward. She accepted us in her house and we began to teach the restauration. We almost finished the lesson when we came to the conclusion that she didn't firmly believe there was a Christ. It is an idea heavily influenced by her husband. We reviewed the story of Joseph Smith and how he recieved an answer to his questions through prayer. Then we invited her to do the same and pray about the things she wasn't sure about. IT was a beautiful lesson and I felt the spirit fill the room.

Your prayers for guidance will only be as effective as your efforts to be receptive to the whispering to the Holy Ghost.*

We are looking and looking and looking for people to teach and people who want to listen and live what we teach. It can be hard sometimes. The Holy Ghost really makes all the difference. When you teach by the spirit it is undeniably felt and understood. When someone is putting their wall up and blocking the spirit, it is clear that they won't treasure the gospel truths you want to share with them. With Rosa Maria, she has heard so much from the missionaries and she remains numb to everything we try to teach. With a prayer in my heart I was able to know what to say and when it was time to let her look for these gospel truths and accept them in her heart.

I was praying hard this week for guidance and fasted for answers. I know that GOD ANSWERS YOUR PRAYERS  always and when we pray sincerely, looking for Him and his guidance and peace.

Con Amor,

Hermana Beardall
