This week was great. We talked to almost every
single person we saw, which is something that has always been super-hard for
me, but the Lord called me to “bury my weapons" just like the Anti-Nehi-Lehi
people did. My weapon has been fear. I've tried to bury that weapon
this week and we talked to 74 people this week on the street! The Lord
helps us to lay aside our weaknesses.
A cool miracle on an exchange happened. Sister
Shiman and I had driven to find a less-active and as we got out of the car, I
said hi to someone getting out of their car, but I did not try to talk to
them. I felt super-guilty. But there is proof that the Lord gives
second chances. After we were unable to find the less-active, the same girl
we saw before was walking her dog. Miracle! We talked to her and she was so
excited to hear more about the message we had to bring. God is always
planting people in our path to help. The greatest help we can ever give
someone is the gospel. On Saturday our appointment that we had set cancelled and being tired, I wanted to move our dinner up. However, the Spirit had other plans; I am grateful for my companion who was listening. We still needed 9 people to contact before we could go home, so I said a prayer pleading for people to be outside that we could talk to (people are sometimes annoyed when we knock on their doors.) We found four people to talk to us, which was a saving grace. Even the people behind the doors were nice to us. The spirit was so strong as we drove home. We had kept the promise that we made to Heavenly Father.
We taught
the young men this week how to teach the first lesson. They did such a great
job bearing their testimonies. The spirit was strong, especially at the
end where they each got to teach one other about the gospel. They are
going to be great missionaries one day. Even those new 12-year-olds were
so good.
