Incredible incredible great week! Sorry I am writing a little late to you this week, we went to the temple and so it changed our preparation day from Monday to today. oh, and happy birthday to Katelyn on the first, totally missed it!
We had some crazy fog roll in this week! I will send a picture. It continues to get colder and colder here as the time goes on, but hotter and hotter with the missionary work. Really got to see some miracles this week. With one, we talked with her husband as he was getting into his car. He seem semi interested, but the classic 'I don't think my wife wants to listen' excuse. Well, his wife then comes out from the house an so we talk to her. We share a little bit about the Restoration and then ask if we can come back to share more. She said yes and so we set up an appointment. We went back on the scheduled date and when we knocked she immediately let us in. We got into the lesson and a asked her a question that I can't remember. But she opened up and told us that she had listened to a ton of other churches but had felt that she had lost hope. When she saw us talking with her husband the other night before, she came outside to come and tell us that she wasn't interested. When we got done sharing the message, she said that something inside of her told her to say yes to a return appointment. She is truly prepared and ready for the message.
I learned an important lesson that day. God calls us for specific assignments, in certain places, for certain reasons. There are things that God wants to accomplish through us, but that is only if we are doing His will. If I hadn't overcome my thought that that man was too busy getting in his car to talk to us, we never would have had that experience, and thus never met that family that was prepared for the gospel. This work is meant to be done in His ways.
Well, don't have time to write anymore, but know that all is great and that I love you all! Here are some pictures of the fog and the temple, and maybe something else, I don't remember!
Sincerely,
Elder Roberts
