The spirit does amazing things

This week has been good. We entered one house and the grandpa started explaining how they were Catholic and told us about it - we listened and then Elder Coulter asked if we could say a prayer. Elder Coulter offered the prayer and the Spirit immediately came. I don’t even know what he said in the prayer, because the spirit just told me to identify Him right after the prayer. At first it shocked me to identify “the spirit” so early, but I followed what President has said about following the spirit and being bold with it and asked them how they felt when my companion prayed. They all said tranquilo and cosas bonitas. (Tranquility and beautiful things) We got return appointments and I felt blessed to have followed the spirit. Another quick experience: We met with Adriana and she told us that she really doesn’t believe in God or Jesus. We started by teaching Faith and then the rest of the doctrine. The spirit came and we identified it and I asked, if based on her feelings, did she believe that God and Jesus exist. She said she did and we set a baptismal date with her. The spirit does some amazing things to change the hearts of the people we teach and us as teachers. I love it!
