Feb 28, 2018 The Week of Questions

Me trying palitos for the first time (they are an el salvadorian snack) 

Hi folks the time is short so I'll make this quick. 

This week was really awesome! Last P- day was 71 degrees so we went to the beach and it was glorious. (lots of pictures to follow) but mostly this week was awesome because of something President Smith gave us this week.

President Smith sent out a document with 10 questions for every point of the first 3 lessons so that we can ask people in lessons to help them learn better.  We have been trying to use  the list of questions as much as possible and they work really well in lessons but we also have been using them to start door approaches when tracting and street contacting. We decide on a door or a person to talk to then on a question we feel the person needs to be asked we then start a conversation using the question we picked. And although we have still met people who don't want to listen to our message we are still able to have meaningful conversations with them and help plant a seed do that maybe the next time missionaries knock on their door they will be more open to receiving them. For example we were going to knock on one house and asked the woman that opened "what does family mean to you?" at first she just kinda looked at us and laughed and then I watched her face change as she actually thought about the question. She talked about how her family is the hardest but best thing that she has in her life. We were able to testify of eternal families and even though she wasn't interested in having us come back, she felt the spirit and knows that she can have an eternal family. I'm so excited to see what other miracles we will find by asking inspired questions.

I love you all a lot and hope you have a wonderful week! 

Love, Hermana Dobson

Look at the temperature outside in February!!!  So of course we had to go to the beach

You can't really see but it's us in front of the SONO sign. (SONO stands for South Norwalk, and down town Sono is super cute and we were there for an appointment so we had to take a picture)
