Hej y'all!
lots going on these last couple weeks. We set a goal as a zone that we
wanted to give out 1000 copies of the Book of Mormon before the
transfer is over. Just so you all know, that is a CRAZY number. But
that means that in our zone, we should be giving out 2 books every
day, sometimes 3.... it is hard and no, it does not happen all the
time, but man, does it motivate us!
doors were all outside and so we could be seen by everyone on the
street. We were standing in the doorway having a conversation with
someone, and we glance over our shoulder. What do we see?! TWO
JEHOVAHS WITNESSES. Standing there and staring and arguing over where
they should go next! haha! Take that! We sniped their knocking zone
and they ran away like puppies with their tails between their legs.
Talk about success! Another success story: We were knocking on some
houses a few evenings ago, and while we were waiting for one door to
answer, a woman walked by with her bike. She stopped RIGHT behind us,
on the sidewalk in front of the door. We felt a little awkward,
because we didn't know if that was her house or what. But she kept
walking and we moved on. Søster Holbrook kept looking over her
shoulder at the lady as she walked away. Finally, the lady turned the
corner and Søster Holbrook just looks at me and says "Should we go
talk to her?" I pondered it for a second, then picked up my bag and
just started running after the lady. Just picture us, 2 sister
missionaries booking it down a cobblestone sidewalk late at night with
endless copies of the Book of Mormon in our arms, chasing down a lady
with a bike. We followed her down the street, around the corner, and
then across the street. Søster Holbrook went up to her and tapped her
on the arm and started talking to her, despite the lady's many many
protests. We tried a couple more times to just talk or to give her a
card, and the lady said no and left. We just kind of stood there,
stared after her (panting from the run), and then began the walk back
to our bikes.
literally everything that we could to give her a chance to hear the
Lord's message for her. If we had walked away after Søster Holbrook
felt like we should have talked to her, then we never would have
known. It is so much better to try and fail, then to not try and never
know. So that was fun :)
Alma 37, verses 44-46. Here, Alma compares the Liahona to the
words/gospel of Christ. It was very easy for Lehi and his family to
simply look at the ball, believe, and follow the directions... and it
is equally easy for us to follow the right path. Why is it that even
though the path is laid out and the way is clear, we still get lost
onto the other paths? Why is it that we feel entitled to some
'grander' scheme, like Naaman in the Bible, and aren't content with
the simple and unchanging gospel that we have been given? I just want
to encourage all of you to stay focused on the goal. Do not become
slothful because of the easiness of the way. We already know who is
going to win this battle; we know which side we should be on. So show
it. I love verse 47 - "My son.... look to God, and LIVE."
watching, He is waiting. Just look at Him, and you will begin to live.
I love you all and I hope that you have an incredible week and that
you laugh lots! Adios until next week!
Unlike Utah - we got SNOW!
