This week was great! We worked hard and we didn't see much success
immediately but miracles came all week. Here's one of them that I told
President Gerber about:
"A miracle this week: We had an AWESOME miracle this week. We were
tracting in this apartment complex and we had been there for about 2
hours, we were only able to talk with a handful of people. We kept
tracting but something told me that this wasn't right, that we should
be finding at another location right now. We prayed and asked if we
should stay or go, I felt like we should tract 1 more hallway and then
if we didn't talk with anybody that we should leave. My companion then
told me someone had been on his mind for the past few minutes, it was
a Less Active lady we had tried to get in contact with a few days
prior unsuccessfully. I wasn't too sure about trying her again but had
faith in the prompting he received in combination with mine. So we
left after tracting 1 more hallway and we knocked on this lady's home
again. No answer. So we started tracting in the area around her house,
I knew it had been tracted out fairly recently but we decided to
anyways. So we hit about 4 doors or so, and no luck, then we get to
the next one. We knock on it and a young adult walks out and starts
talking with us. We get to talking and teaching and he reveals to us
that he and his fiancee had been praying just that morning for
guidance on what Church to go to. They had just recently moved into
that home, they have two children under the age of 2, and they are
super receptive and ready for The Gospel. I love this work! Finding
those who are ready is tough and requires patience, but it is worth
it."
I love The Gospel of Jesus Christ! Finding people who are ready to
receive it brings feelings that is difficult to describe. It is so
wonderful to see people accept God's truth into their lives and start
applying it. The change that occurs and the blessings that come are
incomparable to anything of the world. The only thing that will matter
when Christ comes again is what we have become by living His Gospel.
All other worldly things will come to an end! It is so great to see
people accept things of Eternal importance. I would invite you to
evaluate how you spend most of your time. Doing things of Eternal
importance, or of Worldly importance. And then take the necessary
steps to bring your life in closer harmony with Christ and His
teachings. I know if you do that you will be blessed! Have a great
week :)
