Hey y'all,
Not gonna be too big of an email today and I do apologize for that... busy busy!
Just wanted to share a quick experience I had while on an exchange with a new missionary... we were out tracting in a neighborhood... and we had been out for a good 45 minutes or so... they didn't have any set appointments so it was just a solid day of tracting... and we weren't having too much luck. It was hot. Humid. Sticky... and we had no water and the car was gone with the other missionaries in the area until they were done with their lessons... so we were stuck. So we kept going... working hard and keeping a good attitude... then we decided to pray and ask for help in finding someone. Long story short (only 4 minutes left on the computer! Sorry!)... we were led to a man who had just pulled into his driveway and gotten out of his car. On first approach, the man shot us down quick "No, I'm not interested. I'm really not interested. Have a good day." But then we asked him if we could just pray with him and that we represented the Savior... that opened him up a bit and we took the small window of opportunity to bear our testimonies to him and just let him know that we loved him and that God and Christ love him. Again... long story short, we ended up having a good hour long conversation with him... ended up teaching him about the Book of Mormon, The Restoration, The Gospel of Jesus Christ, etc. etc... and we ended up committing him to be baptized at the end of it! All of this coming from testimonies and love.
Never be afraid to share your testimony and the love of the Savior!
I love you all (20 secs left!)
Have a blessed week!
-Elder Wahlen
