This week we were on FIRE! We gave Books of Mormon through drive through
windows! We taught one lesson after the other! It's been an incredible
week. Thursday we had Zone Training. It was the best one I have ever
been to. The spirit was so thick and no one there could deny that. I
don't think I have ever felt it that strongly before in my life. What a
cool experience it was! It's been cold and harder to contact people, but
Saturday it was beautiful so we went to the park and took chalk to draw
on the sidewalks the Plan of Salvation. People started coming up to us
and asking us about it, or we would say, hey, what do you think? ...
Sister Butterfield and I have been working really hard and praying for
those people to be placed in our path and to recognize them, and
recognize those prompting. And having the faith and trust in the Lord.
So as we're drawing we see a young man sitting on the bench near us in a
suit, looking distraught. We both felt we should go talk to him, but
didn't follow that feeling right away, and as people are coming up to
us, he disappeared. I was so sad, because I felt I missed the
opportunity. But then maybe 10 minutes later he was on that same bench.
As we are talking with more people, he comes up to US! We talk with him,
end up teaching briefly the Plan of Salvation with our sidewalk chalk.
After talking and answering his questions, we sat down taught the
Restoration, and then gave him a Book of Mormon. We're going to meet him
at the park again next Saturday because he lives far away. After Sister
B and I start walking to our car. We KNEW God places him in our path! I
mean he was sitting there alone on a bench .. TWICE! As we taught the
Restoration, I pictured him doing the same thing, as a missionary! He's
16. I truely feel one day he will be a missionary. The best part of this
story. His name is Angel.
The Lord is truely hastening His work! L. Tom Perry and
some of the Quorum of the 70 gave a devotional to a few different areas
in the south about Hastening the Work! It was INCREDIBLE! NOW is truely
the time! They shared D&C 88:73. This broadcast is what helped us be
so determined and motivated and on FIRE this week! I have learned the
urgency of following promptings! Not letting your nerves get you, or
your doubts.
I love y'all!
Sister Reyne
