Or maybe a *little* bit more... Apparently no one wants their leftover
Halloween candy, which naturally means that the missionaries do. Every house we
go to holds out a bowl full of cavity-makers. I mean, it's a nice gesture, but
I think I will die if I eat another bite of some sugary substance! We have a
big container in our car right now where all the candy goes for later and it is
constantly full, I am probably going to have to run TWO miles every morning
instead of just one!
This week a miracle happened, no small feat mind
you. Since I got to Lincoln I have been doing service for a less active named
Barb. And to be honest, sometimes Barb uses us as unpaid gardeners. I have
literally weeded the same strip of yard five or six times. And I was starting
to worry that it would all come to naught. But this week after we did service
for Barb she told us that she was seriously thinking about coming to church on
Sunday, my natural response was to flippantly think that she was just getting
our hopes up. But then we got talking and she admitted that she just really
needed someone who cared enough to even just save her a seat. Knowing that the
seat next to me and Sister Webb would likely be empty, I promised Barb that she
would always have a seat right next to us. So I got crafty, which if you know
me is very unlike me, and I made a little sign that says "For Barb."
(I wish I had taken a picture!) And the most miraculous thing that happened
was... She came. After Sacrament she told us that she had been told by multiple
people to "stand up for what she believes in" and, with tears in her
eyes, told us that it clicked in her head that she needed to stand up for the
church too. Barb came and stayed all three hours, and she promised to come back
again and again. It is sometimes so HARD to do what is right, I can see that! I
have a book of rules that I agreed to follow and sometimes I don't want to! But
I know, I know, That as we do what is right we will be blessed!
Have a great week!
As they say in Washington "Stay dry!"
