Blessings
A week and a half ago, the elders and us had a fast for our area. We had both been struggling to find people to teach.
The week before, Sister Lanigan and I had been contacting at the park (i.e., talking to everyone we see). There was a group of construction workers in the parking lot that must have been on break. We walked up and talked to all of them. It's so awkward to contact a group of people. But a couple of them took a card, and one guy, Reno, took a Restoration pamphlet. He gave us his information and told us we could come by. To be honest, we were pretty skeptical. His house was on Southside, which is the pretty ghetto part of town, and most guys down there just see us as cute young girls to flirt with, so that's the only reason they tell us to come back.
But God has a funny way of showing us that we should always have faith.
Because when we knocked on his door, his family was home, and we ended up teaching the Restoration to the whole family, setting up another appointment, and committing them to come to church. They are all excited for church, and we are so excited for them! They are so prepared to hear the gospel. Please pray for them!
Insight
Sister Lanigan and I were talking about commandments in companion study the other day. She said this:
"If you sin, you'll have momentary happiness and lasting sadness. If you keep the commandments, you may have momentary sadness at times, but you'll have lasting happiness."
My companion is the best!
Never forget that God only gives us commandments, like fasting, to help us be happy. Life isn't perfect, and sometimes things happen that are sad or hard, but God is always there to help us. It's when we keep the commandments that make it easier for Him to help us because it will be easier for us to listen to the Spirit.
Love y'all!
