May 23 Work Miracles

Good afternoon everyone,
Sorry I'm getting this out late but we went on another hike with
Brother Harms and it was great. We do so much p-day hiking it's
awesome! Well this week has been really great! We hit every one of our
goals except for 1 or 2 and Heavenly Father has blessed us for it! We
set daily goals with how many people we want to talk with that day and
there were so many rainy days this week  it felt like we wouldn't be
able to talk to anyone. But Heavenly Father prepares a way for us to
reach our goals whenever we set them and work as hard as we possibly
can. We are meeting a lot of people who either think we are crazy or
awesome for being so willing to go out and witness about Christ. And
honestly we may be drained by the end of every day, but it is honestly
so satisfying to be so dog-tired by the end of each day.

So we had a really cool experience this last week. We got a gift card
from a member for a restaurant called Fazoli's so we went to eat there
and email. When we walked up to order the cashier saw our name tags
and said," Are you guys Latter-Day Saints?" Most people usually call
us Mormons or Jehovah witness so we were surprised, but we told her we
were and she said,"I've got some questions for you guys, id like to
learn more about your church." We were completely taken back, that's
never happened to me haha! So we've met with her a couple times this
week and she really does want to learn more, it makes me so happy to
see someone who truly wants to make an effort to understand and learn
about what I am teaching them.

Putting forth our best effort is honestly one of the most sure fire
ways to qualify for Heavenly Father's blessings. How much more willing
is a parent to give their child a Popsicle or a treat if they mow the
lawn or vacuum the house? So how much more willing is Heavenly Father
to bless us if we read our scriptures each day or if we say our
prayers with our family? And as missionaries, we cannot expect to find
people prepared to hear the gospel if we sleep in when we're supposed
to get up or if we come in early from proselyting to relax. In D&C 82
it says," I, the Lord, am bound when ye do what I say; but when ye do
not what I say, ye have no promise." Heavenly Father ALWAYS blesses
obedient children. Especially when we are willing to do a little more
than we are asked; no matter how hard it may seem to keep God's
commandments, the reward is always worth the wait and the effort.

Keep being awesome and be a helping hand to someone this week,
