Pray with an intent to act 9-12-2014

Hi!

So much to tell you!
This week has been awesome. The elders in our zone left on Monday...we were so sad. They were the best. They're in Colorado now and we started our VC (visitor center) training on Wednesday. There's 19 of us going to a VC. Two of the girls are going to Washington DC and two are going to Cleveland. The rest are Temple Square!

I have learned so much from my classes. Something that I LOVED this week that one of my teachers said was pray with an intent to act.
I think that may have been my problem in the past when I feel like I'm not getting an answer to my prayers. Sometimes I think we don't get the answers we want when we pray, so we think our prayer wasn't answered, at least that's happened to me. I've just come to realize that maybe I haven't been praying with an intent to really act and do what God wants me to, I've just been looking for the answer I think I'm supposed to be getting.

Oh! Yesterday we started chatting with investigators on mormon.org. IT WAS CRAZY. People get on with some interesting questions. No matter what they ask though, we are supposed to bring it all back to Christ and help them draw closer to Him so I kind of love chatting.
It's cool, too, because the questions people ask, I would literally have never in a zillion years thought of. Someone got on and was like "what is Kolob?"
Both Sister Lai and I were like "uhhhh one moment please." hahaha. But for those of you who don't know, it's the star closest to where our Father in Heaven lives as well as is symbolic of Christ being close to God, thank you lds.org!

Last thing, Wednesday we got to go to Temple Square and have a tour like we were just normal investigators and tomorrow were going up again but were getting a new companion who's actually serving on Temple Square right now and we get to go talk to people for like 4 hours! I am so excited to almost be done with the MTC and at T. Square. Only 5 more days.

Love you so much! I love getting your letters so much.

Xoxox tons,

Sister Helton

PS. LOOK WHO I RAN INTO AT THE MTC ON MONDAY!!!!! Day made! Love her sooooo much. (BYU-I Bestie Rachel McWhorter from Arkansas, going on a mission to Spain)
