Every day we seek to be faithful to the Lord by doing street contacts. We've been asked to do at least ten per missionary per day. So, we've been finding creative ways to mark our contacts until we reach ten, such as JEDI and FIEL (meaning faithful). It's interesting, though, that even if we don't find anyone special on the street, just talking to everyone gives us more spiritual force as we teach. I'm glad to see that God always fulfills his promises.
This week was good, until it got hot. I think it funny that my mom told me to be careful of flu weather after I'd already passed it and gotten the flu again. :P I don't know what happened, but in the middle of all this cold, God turned on the furnace. Fortunately it's cold again, and feeling alot better. My companion, however, is on just the other boat. Where he lives, it never falls below 80, so he's practically dieing of cold here. :) He'd probably like it in the states, maybe.
This week, the work was inspiring. Recently we've been looking to teach people a lot more with members of the church. In fact, we've been filling lists of all friends and all people known by the members, and asking them to pray that God show for them a few names on the list that would be prepared to receive the gospel. Until now, God has been faithful, and hundreds of names are waiting to be taught. :) Now if only we had the time...
But in the end, these people turn out to be truly ready. It's interesting that, no matter how much you reason or think about people that might be ready, the Lord already knows and is willing to show them to us if we ask. This week we encountered a few of the best people I've taught since I was here, and I know why. God is guiding us to those he has prepared. Let this be an invite to all members. Make a list, and ask God to show who is ready. Then, pray for these people daily, and work to help them receive. If you do, God will too.
I'm praying for all of you too. Thanks for all the help that y'll have given me. It's always welcome.
