Week #10 - 03/23/15

So it is 32 degrees here right now after a week of b-e-a-utiful 55 degree weather. The Midwest is cruel, and she gives us a vision of paradise before pulling it away again. Not much time, love you all. 

I honestly never thought I could love random strangers like this, people who by all means have nothing going for them, people that just 3 months ago I would have criticized for their life choices, but you start to learn how much God Loves all his children. I know I mentioned this last week, but It continues to astound me. and I am amazed at how utterly pathetic I am in trying to do any of this work. Every single time we have a breakthrough with an investigator, or bump into a new person he is ready for the gospel, I have been doing nothing. I mean, I have been doing my job, or trying to as much as I could, but it is never what I say or do that brings people, its just a feeling of the spirit the softens their heart enough to suddenly make them want to find out for themselves, or that We happen to be going the same way we go every day and find someone who has been searching for the truth. it is amazing. 

We come into people's own homes as a 19 and 21 year old kids, and then tell people to change almost ever aspect of their lives with the testimony of a 14 year old boy asked a question, some story about a golden book and Jesus visiting America, and how all these things are the direct works of someone who talked to the almighty God and Jesus Christ himself. The simple fact that we are not run out of their houses right there is proof that God is behind us, but I can feel his presence with everywhere. He gives me just enough push to keep me going when I am about to give up, or fall asleep, or collapse, and then just a bit more, until I have learned a bit that day and can learn a little more the next. 

I would not give up the last 2 and a half months for anything on this planet, not even a 61 Cadillac. That's how you know I am serious. And i wouldn't give up the next 21 months for anything either. I have learned so much about what it is to love God and your fellow man, and I still have an eternity to go, I cherish that I still have most of my time left. I love you guys, I will catch you next week.
