This week was good.
Monday we met a member who taught us how to pray in Farsi and that was super cool and fun. WE are trying to pray as much as we can in the language but we have to switch back a lot so that we can still express ourselves adequately. However lately it has been such a wonderful time praying. Something that was put into words for me by someone else "is that we should all be jumping at the chance to talk to our God and Father" and lately i feel that my prayers have been more meanngful than ever and this something that our mission president is stressing is that we should be praying as if our lives depend on it and then acting. We should be expressing deep faith. Faith that we show in our prayers that is very heartfelt and sincere and specific.
Wednesday we went to the temple and it was so good. i just love the feeling of peace and love of God that pervades there and i would that everyone should come and feel that spirit. If not inside then at least walk the grounds and feel and know God's love for you. After that we went and attempted to find a Less Active member, we ended up getting lost but we did find it we think but noone was home.
Thursday we had zone conference where we were trained mainly on trying to use our time effectively and realizing that we need to pray with deeper faith and work with more diligence. Our president declared that the Lord is giving us miracles but the floodgates are not yet open and the Lod wants to be pouring them out on us. Also this quote was given to us as well "the devil is the master of complexity. The Lord is the master of simplicity." This was given in connection to the emphasis the church is putting on teaching simply because the gospel is simple and trying to do away with analogies and other gimmicks.
Friday we had District meeting with our Mission President and that was super nice because we were able to cover a lot of subjects in a very short amount of time and do it efficiently. Our presidenti s very excited on the progress that we are making. After that we got permission to move part of our Preperation day to Friday so that we would be able to go and visit a museum that is currently hosting a Persian Empire treasure the Cyrus Cylinder. It was very interesting and cool and a great peice of histiry and culture. While there Sister LArson ( the member who is teahing us Farsi and is our host into this new culture) brought her brother (member) and two more non-members with her and we began to build really good relationships with them.
Sunday was good. The talks were really good and so uplifitng. and this ward is good and it will get better.
The language is coming along well. We are working on memorizing the Joseph Smith story right now and tons and tons of vocab.
Love y'all
Elder Craner
