| We went on a hike with the Thompsons, they are amazing! |
On
exchanges with Sister Herrera earlier this week we met so many awesome
people and she taught me a lot about following promptings and seizing
the moment! We hadn't been able to get in contact with one of our new
investigators so we stopped by his house. When we had first met him we
just talked on the porch briefly, so this time when he immediately
invited us in it took me a little by surprise. His wife was home and we
were able to sit down with both of them and teach them the whole first
lesson. It felt as if we were coming for a scheduled appointment. The two
of us just jumped right in and were very unified in our teaching even
though we had only been together a few hours. It was so cool!
Later
that evening we were walking up to knock on a door right as someone was
getting dropped off. Honestly, we were still far enough away that I
kind of wanted to wait until they got inside and then knock. But Sister
Herrera is fearless. she ran across the street and their yard and said
hi to them. But ended up scaring her half to death, but it was a good
icebreaker haha. She was so cool and when we told her we had an
important message to share with her she said, "ok, shoot" and was very
engaged as we taught her about the Restoration. It was such a miracle
that we were in the right places at just the right time :)
Ok,
I have a super awesome story for you, that I will probably not do
justice but here we go! Well earlier this week Sister Clark introduced
me to Tasty Made shakes, which are pretty great. A few days later we
went back for dinner...and I was pretty embarrassed when we were helped
by the same cashier as a few days before, who also remembered us. Well
while we were there we found a new friend in this cashier and he asked
us if we could connect on Facebook! So of course we did and we now
have the opportunity to teach him more about the restored gospel! He is
amazing and I know it was no coincidence that we went to Tasty Made
twice this last week..... so never question a prompting, even if it is
telling you to go eat fast food :)
I am so grateful for the Holy Ghost, for His continual guidance. This promise from the scriptures means a lot to me,
"Go
your way whithersoever I will, and it shall be given you by the
Comforter what you shall do and whither you shall go" (Doctrine and
Covenants 31:11)
As
we seek to do the Lord's will, then we will always be given guidance of
where we should go and the things that we are meant to do. The key is
that it is the Lord's will. It is not what we want or what we think is a
good idea that is important, even if it would accomplish good things.
The most success will be found as we follow the plan the Lord has set. I
am grateful that we are able to receive direct inspiration from He who
knows all, who loves perfectly and wants nothing more than our eternal
happiness. As we follow those promptings and do what the Lord desires
for us, we will find joy :)
Have a great week! And just keep smiling :)
