yes we were actually able to find a new investigator this week! his name is brother kwack. he runs a free class at the university in our area and said that we can come by to attend his class. so we went and it was some kind of culture class about other countries. this week he talked about japan but i couldnt understand anything he was saying! he used really hard words so i understood maybe 15%?? but after the class there is about 30 minutes of "free talking" where we are able to talk to all the members of the class about our church and the "mormon culture". there actually seems to be a lot of potential investigators that could come from this class but we will see! we were only able to stay for a little bit but next week we will be able to see if this will work out. also our investigator brother yang jae hong and his friend hong woo shik came to church this week! we were able to teach them the rest of the restoration and challenged him to read the book of mormon and pray! he is still uncertain that god exists, but i know if he reads and prays as we have asked him, then he will know! i read this in the liahona the other day from president eyring " The investigator who reads the Book of Mormon before being baptized and confirmed may receive both an assurance that the book is true and a witness that Joseph Smith translated it by the power of God. After being confirmed a member of the Church, we can have the Holy Ghost as our companion to confirm other truths. Then, whenever we pray in faith, we can expect that the Holy Ghost will testify to us that Jesus is the Christ, that God the Father lives, and that They love us and all of Heavenly Father’s children."
Just like president Eyring says, we can expect the holy ghost to testify to us about God, Jesus Christ, and the message that we are sharing if we pray in faith. Once brother yang is able to feel that, he will be able to feel gods love and have the spirit as his constant companion. i hope all of you as well will continue to pray in faith for the gift of the spirit! have a great week! <3
