This week has been good. Elder Finch and I just did a lot of street proselyting. We broke our goal for street lessons by 20! One interesting I have noticed is when we ask, "What do you believe in?" they say, "I believe in me." Haha I have struggled with a response to this. I usually say, "It's a good thing to believe in ourselves. Right?"

Then I usually switch subjects because I don't know how to tell them what I really think without offending them. I think that is a reason why I came to a foreign speaking mission because if I could speak what I wanted to I would be way too intense haha.
This week we had a Mission Tour and Elder Whiting (a member of the 70) came to speak to us. We just basically had a big gospel discussion. The thing that stuck out to me the most was when he talked about prayer. When we pray and ask god for an answer we need to act and try to look for the answer.

A perfect example is Joseph Smith when he prayed to God he asked which church he should go to. Not which church is true. Him asking which one he should go to shows that he was going to act on his prayer and it was a more specific prayer. So I've thinking about that a lot and it has helped me a lot. So I want you to remember that more specific prayers bring more specific answers.
