Sister Morrill: Killed Off My Trainer

Hey!

I hope y'all enjoyed your Labor Day! Public libraries were closed, so we enjoyed ours fishing with a member!

This week we had exchanges. Sister Paulson came to Swainsboro and we organized half a storage unit full of peanut butter by expiration date. I've never seen so many different brands and styles, I think my favorite was a Reeses jar that was actually half consumed. That student was so determined to win, he even donated the used jar from his pantry! The schools around here had a competition to see who could donate the most peanut butter and long story short, its safe to say everyone participated.

On Sunday, while we were knocking doors we came across a man sitting outside. He was so excited to see us, he invited us inside to talk to everyone. When we got inside we realized it is a home for elderly mentally disabled individuals. We sat down and began to talk to them and the female worker was half engaged. After a little bit she stood up and directed us to the other half of the house where the women stay. She lead us to a woman who was sitting on a couch studying and writing. We sat down and the female worker joined us, but this time she asked us questions. I noticed a shift in interest after we mentioned we don't believe in paid ministry. She opened up to us and we talked about the Restoration. Before we left, we gave her a Book of Mormon and she asked for a Bible for her mom! I think she wanted to see if we actually read out of the King James version or not, but either way I am glad she asked! She has young children and works a lot, so it's cool we met her while she was at work. She was so excited and eager to learn more.

I feel like we meet the most receptive people at the end of the neighborhoods we start in. Every day is different, but that is a patter that seems to occur more often than not. Consistency is key and knowing that every door is another opportunity to share the Gospel helps me maintain diligence. Whether they choose to listen or not, I know the Gospel is true, and I will continue to work!

"How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!"
