This week was so long. It's been burst-your-pipes cold all week so no one is outside, and we're missionaries so no one let's us in. That's okay! We have a Papa Murphys in our area, so we can just drown our sorrows in pizza. (I'm only a little kidding)
On Saturday we traveled to the distant town of Warrior, AL to follow up with some potential investigators. No one was home! So we knocked on a few doors and were kindly rejected by a few baptists. We planned for a good 5 to 6 hours in Warrior, and here we were 1 1/2 hours in and we had already tried everything we planned. So we found a playground, swung on the swings a little, and ate our sandwiches at the top.
From then on, the day turned around! We decided to see some members that hadn't answered before, and we had success. One woman even gave us awesome advice for finding people that we will definitely be using. THEN we went to another awesome members house, and just as we got there, their non-member daughter and grandkids showed up. So we chatted with them for a while, and they decided to feed us dinner. We had amazing conversations with that family and hopefully made a good impression on them for Church Members, and they even invited us to come to their house whenever we were in the area.
The tender mercies of the Lord were surely upon us that day. It touched my heart to see that after such a dreary looking afternoon, our evening turned the opposite direction. I know that the trials we have in life are for our benefit, and the true difference between a trial and a blessing is our teach-ability throughout the experience!
I love being a missionary! Sometimes it is hard but I almost always see a silver lining :) I love you all and thank you for your love and support!
