This
week has been crazy but lots of fun! On
Monday we stopped to get gas and as we were pulling in, I smiled at a man
getting gas. Then when I got out, he struck up a conversation with me
about how my smile let him know I was a believer of Jesus Christ. Though
he didn't end up agreeing to a return appointment, it reminded me how simple
things can really make someone's day!
During
our lunch this week, we also went to visit a shop in downtown Concord and ended
up striking up a conversation with the owner. It was neat to see how God
had put us in the right place at the right time and she was willing to learn
more! We also had a RS activity we went to where we were teaching the women how
to do a Mormon.org
profile and I was shocked at how many didn't even know what they were! It
is such an easy, simple way to share your testimony! We also had a bunch
of other stations where they were able to make conversation starters for their desks
at work or in their homes somewhere :)
We
got to have dinner with a cute family this week and their son
Aidan
was going on and on about minecraft and was showing us his Lego minecraft set
and shirt he'd gotten for his birthday. It was hilarious
how serious he was telling us all about mine craft and how
you play it! Little kids are really so impressionable! I always love
singing primary songs with them as well because they are so enthusiastic!
We
went on exchanges with the Matthews sisters this week and I went to their area
with Sister Rasmussen! It was a fun exchange and I really love a lot of
the people I have met there! I have met and taught some of them three or
four times now! After exchanges, we were able to stop by Dekoyas in concord,
and talk with her. She asked us about the temple and she ended up getting
really excited! She wants to make some big changes in her life and get
her boyfriend involved as well. She actually got really excited about the
idea of not feeling guilty over her sins anymore and I remembered that
repentance really is a great thing! Something to be excited over not
dreaded!
We
were driving through an apartment complex and saw a women who looked pretty
down. When I smiled at her, she just gave a really sad half smile.
So we drove around and sister Steimle saw what apartment she went in.
We went and knocked on her door to see if she was okay and she was super
touched we'd come to see if she was okay and shared she had met with the elders
once and would be open to meeting with us! we are really excited to see her
again! I love the power of a smile!!
We
went on a hike today so I'm out of time but I love y'all!
