12042016 Keeping the Commandments

Danielle is expecting a boy!  That is super exciting! When is he due? This week was a good week! We had one guy call us and he met with a kid I was in the MTC with and said he wanted to meet! We met and he is studying to go to law school in America. So I talked about Dad and healthcare law a little! He asked lots of questions and they all fit into the message of the restoration! It was good! And my companion loved it because it was in English!
We met with Bak Tae Son and started talking about the commandments! He and his wife, I think, understand the point of commandments they are just amazed that we are obedient! He stopped smoking a long time ago but can't stop drinking! And so we want to bring our recent convert to meet with them and talk about the word of wisdom. Hopefully that will all go well!
Then the highlight of the week was meeting with Yong June, the recent converts son. We also taught him the commandments. His dad came towards the end of the lesson, so we reviewed all that we taught. He is planning on getting baptized this week! He wants to keep all the commandments. It was just sweet. His dad gave the closing prayer and it was awesome. He felt the spirit coming into church. Was thankful to have his son understand these commandments better than he expected, and that he will have somebody to support him in the church. They are so awesome!
Anyway, my district always seems to be having some drama but things are looking up! Next week are transfer calls! 
My spiritual thought this week comes from Mom's question to me. When Elder Bednar came he talked about "being good boys and girls." When we received the gift of the holy ghost we received the promise to always have the spirit to be with us. So if we are doing what we are supposed to be doing, it IS with us. No question. So what do we have to do? Strive to do his will! If we are honestly striving to do his will the spirit is with us. Move forward. If we are not supposed to do something the spirit will let us know. S Elder Bednar said, noticing when the spirit is gone is far more important than noticing when it is there. Because it is so often there. I have felt the same as Mom. But as I have done missionary work I have seen the spirits influence. And I am thankful for the promise that it will always be with us as we strive to do was is right!
Hurrah for Israel!
