Good
Morning! This week was crazy.
First of
all, did you hear about the dress code change? Khaki's. awesome......haha just
kidding, it is pretty cool. I was checking out the website just now. We will be
able to wear khaki's, light grey stuff, boot style shoes and more colorful
ties. We're gonna be lookin good. I knew this would happen. We are still
waiting to hear from president about what stuff will be acceptable here in our
mission.
I can
barely handle this wild ride. We have been struggling recently. We have been
trying so hard to find new investigators. This week began with us having so
much success while tracting. Finding so many new potentials. Then on Friday we
hit a road block. We were having a rough day. It was around 5 o'clock. We were
standing on the sidewalk with our bikes trying to figure out what potentials to
visit, or which members to go see, or what street to tract, but having no
success in making a decision. We did not know what to do. Appointments had
fallen through and our spirits were low. I was ranting to Elder Koetting about
how there are people prepared, people we can help, right here in this area,
right now! Saying "how do we find them?!" Meanwhile Elder Koetting
was saying a silent prayer, making a promise to the Lord that he would be
better about working out in the morning if the Lord could just make something
happen. Our desperate cries were heard. Seconds later, a thugged out, tattooed,
tank top wearing, monster energy drinking, miracle appeared next to us. He
says hey are you guys Mormons? We answer in the affirmative and ask him some
simple questions. Come to find out, this man lived in Utah at one point. Took
lessons from the missionaries. I said to him "But then you stopped when
you moved out here?" He said "Ya...But I need to start it up
again...I need you guys to pick me back up." In our moment of desperation,
God answered our prayers. "God's opportunity, is man's extremity".
This was
one of the many miracles and tender mercies we experienced this week.
I love being a servant of the Lord. I love the gospel of Jesus
Christ.
