The Weather is Hot, but the Work is Not




August 12, 2013

Hello everyone! I hope you are staying cool wherever you are. It sure has been hot here!! 

This week was....well. Let`s just say we`ve had better. 

We were really excited for the beginning of the week. We had a lot of appointments set up with investigators and PI`s. 

Unfortunately almost all of them ended up falling through. They either called 30 minutes before the appointment or they just didn`t show up. 

Honestly, at first we were really frustrated. But now we just feel like it is the Lord testing us, and hopefully we proved faithful enough for Him to bless us this week.  We really feel like the miracles are going to start coming. 

So get ready for a long email next week. :) 

We did get one new investigator which was exciting. We met her almost 3 weeks ago at the train station. She is super cute! She works with kids who have special needs so we became friends fast. 

Well this last week we were finally able to set up an appointment with her. 

For when we are teaching a lesson for the first time with someone, President Zinke has come out with a lesson plan he wants us to follow. It goes very slowly and just talks about God, our relationship with Him, and our role as missionaries. 

He has a specific order and flow he wants us to use and we really have been putting a lot of emphasis on it lately, and have really been practicing it. Well as we were teaching her this lesson we would finish one section, then she would ask a question. And almost every single time her question could be answered perfectly in the next section we would move on to. 

So cool! President Zinke really is an inspired man! 

Another good thing we had from this week was Zone Conference. Always sooo good! I just love the Spiritual boost I always get. 

This one was really focused on understanding the language of the Spirit and improving our prayers. This is something I really could work on. Making my prayers more of a conversation, just like it would be with my earthly father. It should be just like that, if not better with my Heavenly Father. 

Really wish I had more to share for this week, but that`s about it. 

I love you all so much!! 

Love,
Dobson Shimai 


We went to an aquarium on P-Day.  So much fun!
