We got to have zone conference this week and afterward we had exchanges. I got to go down to Warsaw with Elder Bland. It was a great time. But their apartment was wrecked.... so I cleaned a little for them. I got to see the johns family because they fed us which was awesome and then i also got to see the Judkins because sister Judkins needed a blessing. They had some anise cookies which were pretty good.
During the finding I'm pretty sure I had talked to every person before. It was cool to see the change in some of them.
During finding last week in Batavia we had a cool experience. We were talking to this lady at her door and she was saying something and then she paused mid sentence and asked if I was okay. (Pretty normal for me I guess) I must have a resting dead face. Anyways so I said I love what I'm doing and asked if I could share a scripture with her and after I read it she paused and asked her husband to come over and had me read it again. It was cool to see the Spirit work soften her heart.
I know scriptures heal the wounded soul because they are from our Heavenly Father through our Saviour.
Mom: What scripture did you read to her?
Erik: 3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 Surely he has borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows; yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
Mosiah 14
You can turn almost any scripture into a gospel conversation. Sometimes i ask people to open to a random page and read a random verse and then we talk about how it can answer some of the problems or questions that they have.
