I just want to share an experience
this week. In our mission we are pushing for every missionary to talk to 10 new
people every day. As we have done it, I have realized how many people you can
influence every single day. This last week I was on exchanges with Elder
Ferrin. We were in his area which happens to be a walking area. In the morning
we studied then made it a point to go about doing good and doing it with a
great sense of diligence. We went out and man was it a good day. We were led
and directed to so many people. We did not have a single teaching appointment
set up. However, by the end of the day we taught 7 lessons. We were able to
talk to 70 new people and share some part of the gospel with them. Of those 70
about 45 were quality gospel conversations. It was amazing to see how effective
you can be in a single day. I know every day probably won’t be like that and I
know we were so blessed to have so many miracles that day but I did learn a
very important principle. If we go about our day with a righteous purpose
backed by worthy goals, our Heavenly Father WILL help us fulfill his will. Let
us surrender our will and desires for his will and his desires.
I hope you all have a wonderful week
full of joy, peace, and smiles. What a wonderful time of the year it is to be
grateful. I am grateful for all of you, for the influences you have had on me.
I know that without those things I would not be here today. Our Heavenly Father
knows us and Loves us. He places Angels in our lives to help guide, support,
and inspire us. I am grateful for all of you being the Angels in my life! I
love y’all, and wish you a wonderful and Happy Thanksgiving! Don’t forget to
Smile.
