Hey y'all,
Snowing? Raining? Sunny? Doesn't matter... what a beautiful day!! What an amazing time of year... I love each of you so much. Y'all are a gift to this world.... so grateful for each and every one of you :)
Ok... so quick story again (sorry they're so short and crazy!).
One night... it was late, we had just dropped off a member who had been out teaching with us... and my companion and I had a decision to make... we could either head in and get some dinner for a few minutes before we needed to start planning at 9:00 pm... or we could spend those 20 minutes trying to find a family to help... and to bring them the restored gospel. We were EXHAUSTED.... could hardly think we were so beat from the day... and it was cold outside and had been raining most of the day... and let me tell you, it was tempting to head back in and take a minute to breathe and eat some good warm food before planning... but we both knew that there was still work to be done. Those 20 minutes are the Lords time... and we needed to make them count.
We prayed and asked God to guide us to where He needed us to go... and then we started to drive until we felt prompted to stop. A few minutes later we did... said another prayer and got out of the car... we knocked a few doors and even met an amazing guy... and that took us to about 8:50... but we still had time and we felt there was yet work to be done.... so we prayed and asked to lead us to where we needed to go... exactly where we needed to go... so we prayed and started walking. My companion felt prompted to stop at a house and knock... so we did.
Long story short, a man answered the door, and after a brief pause and a look over us, invited us in... this man is incredible and has an amazing family... and was so open and loving. He is reading the Book of Mormon now and is excited to learn more... thats a short version but just know he is a miracle and so prepared.
Prayer works! Have faith... even until the bitter end. He will lead you!
