Listen to what the spirit tells you!

Heyyy! So loved your emails thanks a bunch for taking the time to write me it means the world and makes my whole week run smooth! This week was...amazing! Best week yet! We were able to teach 29 lessons this week and we have 5 new investigators just from this week! 4 of them are chinese...I'm telling you they are just the most humble those Chinese people. On Monday night we played tennis with Yuanfa and that's always fun cause he's just a good ol time and we were able to meet a couple from China and teach a lesson, well Sis Lieber was cause we were playing tennis, but teh husband wants to know more but he doesn't speak English very well and his wife likes her bible church so we gave him a pamphlet of the plan of salvation and put our number on it. We were able to go to a leadership meeting on Wednesday and the missionary department of the church was tehre and they taught us a ton! Seriously I've never learned so much in 7 hours of learning...except the MTC probably but yeah so that helped us a lot throughout the week to work on our door approaches. On Thursday we contacted a potential and she wasn't home so we just tracted her building. Usually we won't but this time I really felt like we should and on the last door we knocked on, this girl in her early 20's answered and we shared our message and asked her if she would like to learn mroe and she said yes and usually we'd set up a time but we didn't have much going on for a couple hours so we just proceeded to teach her the restoration at the door it was so awesome and it's one of the first times I've really just not known exactly where to start and the spirit guided my conversation and told me exactly what to say and the lesson flowed so smooth and we gave her a copy of the book of mormon and asked her to read and gave her a part to read and she said she would and we are meeting with her tonight again. It was amazing and she has such a cute girl who is 3. their names are Nyesha and Naia. Yesterday we were going to go tract out in snook which is a ghetto small town about 30 minutes away and a girl we teach recent convert lessons to lives out there and we had an appoinment that night so we were going to go out early and tract but we just felt like we shouldn't but we didn't know what to do so we prayed and I felt like we should visit a sister who is a member that is a single mom and her one son that is at home doesn't come to church anymroe so the bishop has been having us go there on sundays to visit them and teach lessons, but we knew that her son left that day to go to his sisters for a few weeks so there was no point in going, but I still felt like we should stop by at least and see how she was and if she needed anything so we did and she invited us in. As we started talking, she teared up and expressed to us that she had a couple tests done and the results showed she has cervical cancer and she just found out last friday and now she's all alone for a couple weeks. We talked with her for about an hour and shared some scriptures that give us hope and comfort through challenging times and I think and pray that it helped her. But I know the Spirit guided us to her house and I'm so grateful I listened to the spirit because I know that as I do, it will in all ways direct my paths for good. Heavenly Father's plan is just remarkable and I know that he loves each of us and he is pleading with us to make the right choices in our lives and take the counsel that he gives us in abundance through church and conference and the scriptures and heed to all of the commandments and as we do he will bless us in temporal AND spiritual needs and there will be nothing we can't overcome with the help of the Lord. And quite frankly there's nothing we can overcome if we boost only in our own strength. Well I love you all so very much and think about you daily and pray for you continually!
