Que Pasa Ya'll October 31 Halloween Day
Hey all, this was a pretty great week! I don't know if I mentioned, but I'm back on bike as of last week. You never realize how hilly an area is until you have to bike it. At least I'll get in some great shape, and it's way easier to contact people you pass on a bike.
Anyways, this week there were numerous miracles and highlights, I'll list a few. We talked with a lot of people, we had a trunk r treat/chili cook off that we got to be the judges for, a random woman from off the street showed up to it. There was a pretty cool one on Friday, where we had just biked to an area we were going to tract, and I was pretty tired. A member just pulled up and gave us a cookie out of the blue. What's even better, she told us about her neighbors and which ones would welcome us and which ones wouldn't. We got a return appointment from that. Another interesting one was on Sunday, we were still two new investigators and a lesson with a recent convert or less active and two other lessons short of our goals. Basically we had to find three people and teach them that day, and somehow, it actually worked. We managed to tract into some really nice people, which hardly ever happens, and it happened twice.
We've been working on following the spirit better this week, and some true miracles have come from it. For example, we do service for some crazy old guys, and for some reason we decided not to teach them immediately after service, but that we should bike 15 miles later that night to teach them. It turns out, they kept their commitment after service, and we were able to have a really powerful lesson. I've been saying a lot of micro prayers, just to ask if we should knock on a certain door or if we should go somewhere, and usually it's kind of like "sure, it's fine go ahead", but there are times where it was like "no, that person isn't ready yet and they'll probably yell at you, and then they'll hate the missionaries forever", and once in a blue moon, it will be like "yes you need to knock on this door." Give the spirit a chance and he might have something to say.
I think that's all for this week, I hope you're all well. I love being out on a mission!
