MIRACLE LADY!!!!!!!
Hey Ho Hiddy Har! Everybody get in the car!
Haha! I came up with that in like 5 seconds. =)
Hey Everybody!!!Haha! I came up with that in like 5 seconds. =)
Ok I have a Great story for this week! Once upon a time elder Nielson and I were tracting houses. We keep track of houses that dont answer their door so we know which ones we should come back and knock on. while on this street we have run into a few people that want to hear our message. Namely Dixie and Quinten (I may have mentioned them in past emails.)
THIS IS WHERE IT GETS GOOD! Me and Elder Landbeck went to go see if we could see Quinten. Landbeck had never been their before so i was leading the way. we start walking up the street and i'm not sure whether its left or right... we turn left. as we are walking i slowly begin to realized that we've taken the wrong turn so we are going to have to back track about a half a block... WELL! as we are walking back, (take note that we've been tracting this street for a couple days now...) some Strange car just pulls up to us and this lady rolls down her window.
she tells us that she's seen us walking by her house and we've knocked on her door a few times. she says that she's Catholic but really respects us for spreading the Jesus word. she asks if we could meet with her and that she just lives down the street. WHERE WE MISTAKENLY WALKED BY!!! (it was not a mistake.) ok everybody calm down the best part is about to come.
So we tell her we'll come by after we visit with someone. Quinten wasnt home so we just went straight there. we begin talking with her and she totally just made us feel like home. she did more then just say "make your self at home." she told us "put your feed up, grab some soda, just be comfortable. (she totally reminds me of mom) we gladly accept her her offer. and she asks a few questions about the differences between the catholic and mormon church. she didnt like how she'd been told that people preaching about jesus were somehow a cult. we laughed a little about stereotypical ideas about both our churches.
we begin teaching her a little about the restoration. she says "you know, the way i've felt at this meeting with you is simply one of the most spiritual moments i've had in my life." (WOOOOOOOO!!!!) so the first lesson went awesome.
then we grabbed a member and returned to her house to answer her questions and teach her about the plan of salvation. she said that the Book of mormon was quite a book and she said that she really liked what she read. we answered a few more questions and taught her the plan of salvation but only got through about half way. she then told us that she had always believed in that type of pre mortal existance. she just thought she was crazy or something.
Its been a great week just because of her. she was the most accepting person i have ever worked with and honestly think will ever work with on my entire mission. its been great. I never ever expected that i would ever have a story like that happen to me personally. It was just great. I thought that a story like that would only happen to a very select few people just so we could have a few pump up stories for things like preach my gospel and conference talks.
The Lord is working hard to prepare people for us to teach. He know's every single one of us very well. To me there is no other explanation then the lord works with his children's hearts to convince them to run down a couple of young men and talk to them about religion. people dont just do that... for anyone one who reads this and may be down on them selves let me give you some council. Do some missionary work. Nothing, I promise, will be more rewarding. you will not find anything that makes you happier. work with the missionaries because they need your help.
Well this week has just been awesome! I miss everyone terribly but I know that i'm where i'm supposed to be. All is well! Love you all!
