First Time Team-up

       I went on a team-up with the English sisters after work last night. It was awesome; I got to go with them to teach an investigator. I was nervous but think it went well. Sister Brown and Sister Robley taught about the Restoration and the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon, then Sister Brown gives me this pointed look and mentally I’m like, oh I should say something now, and so I sort of bore my testimony about how through my own personal studies I have come to KNOW that the Book of Mormon is true and that she (the investigator) could do the same. Felt kind of weird when the Sisters referred to me as Sister Cook, but I need to get used to that.
      I am going with them to another appointment tonight. Yesterday was kind of spur of the moment, but tonight I will be prepared. I asked them what will they be teaching about and they said they’ll be teaching about reading the scriptures and praying. This is beyond awesome because the very first time I taught the Hermanas my lesson was from Chapter 2 on how to study the scriptures. I am excited to review my lesson notes and scriptures so that I can contribute more confidently tonight.
    I’m looking forward to hearing the Conference talks. Both of today’s sessions will be over by the time I get home from work  but I am definitely going to both sessions tomorrow. This will be the first time in my life that I actively watch/listen to all 4 regular sessions of General Conference. My appointment with the Sisters tonight isn’t until 7 pm, so I will have time to watch a session after work before I go out with them.
    Speaking of missionary work, a couple weeks ago I invited a non-member friend at work to come to Conference with me. She’s going to meet me at the Bessemer Stake center tomorrow for the afternoon session of Conference. I am super psyched for her to go!
