Here's two guys,
Guy 1: Last Friday,
before teaching Jana from her new Slovak Book of Mormon, we were searching for
members whom the leaders of the congregation, the ward council, did not
know. We were at a point where we were sort of discouraged in finding new
people to teach and baptise. Being inspired to visit a particular house
of one of these lost members, we knocked on the door. Of course no one
answered! But we were certain that the Spirit prompted
us to knock on her door! What happened? We decided to ask her
neighbors about her whereabouts and one of them said that she moved nine years
ago. We were prompted to teach the Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ
and the neighbor said, "So, you ain't cops. I'm looking for a church
to join." We told her that, no, we are not cops, and that we are
missionaries from the Church that she should join. It was apparent that
the prompting of the Holy Ghost was real when she accepted the invitation to
come to church next Sunday and we found a new person to teach.
Guy 2: Last Wednesday,
while still in the same rut that we were in regarding the number of people to
teach, we gave a card to a young boy on the street. He asked if the
person on the card was Jesus. We said yes and taught him the Restoration
of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He invited his seven other friends to
join. We taught them as well. As a result, we told them that we'd
come back on Saturday. On Saturday, we received the opportunity to teach
the same lesson to their parents, who invited us back next Saturday. We
also taught seven other lessons that day. God rescued us from the rut
that we were in.
The lesson that I
learned was Exodus 14:13 and Moroni 7:33; again, this is not my
work, but God's.
Love,
Elder deJesus
