Hello family!
Time is flying and the work is Roll-in forward! We have been
pushing so hard to CONTACT, I really truly love contacting, you honestly never
know what you’re going to say, there is a special thrill with opening your
mouth and hearing words spill out. It’s simply exhausting-- and
EXHILLERATING. I have learned that we can't succeed without failing first,
and we might be rejected 20 times... OK sometimes WAY more than
that before we find someone who wants to hear this message.
On Saturday Sister Bair and I were searching for some
less-actives on the bay and decided to knock the street, door after
door, nothing. (best 2 years quote?) We headed back to the car
but both felt we should try ONE more door. This last house is where we
found Tara, a beautiful Christian woman who is looking for more answers and
peace. Miracle! We moved to another area and started to contact and knock with
not very much success, it was getting late and time to go back to the
apartment but felt strongly that ONE more person needed to hear our
message, we spotted Damien taking out the trash. We ran after him (literally...in a non creepy
way?)...from the second we started talking the spirit came flooding in and
prompted us to share the Restoration...the WHOLE Restoration!? In a contact
that is something that is hard to do, but we kept
feeling nudged, when we got to the first
vision, he said that this was the answer he was looking for, he had
been praying earlier that day to know what church to join. On my mission I can
think of some very special moments, and this was one of them. We were about to
go home, but because we wanted to try ONE more Heavenly Father had someone
prepared for us. We never know who is ready. "Behold, God is my
salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid; for the Lord Jehovah is my strength
and my song; he also has become my salvation." 2 Nephi 22:2.
