So a cool thing happened this week. We went to the always classy Good Will, and there were only 2 pairs of dress shoes in the store, they were only $4, and they fit me and my comp perfectly. The 9 1/2s were super good quality, but not as much of a miracle as finding a size 14 for my companion. It is little things like that that are always so cool. I know it might sound stupid, but I really think that those were there just for us, and it is a cool thing to see how the Lord loves us and just does things as simple as letting us have some sweet shoes.
Winter is coming soon, and we are getting prepared. It has been super nice this week, but is is supposed to go from 70 to 50 on Friday, and it is all downhill from there. I wouldn't mind it, but we really rely on the ability to teach women on their porch when their isn't a man in the house, and I don't think they would be to happy when it's that cold. But I'm not worried, I know it will be alright. The work has been going really well, if pretty challenging. We found about 6 people by knocking doors. All seemed more solid than most, and we set return appointments, only to come back to an empty house. But hey, welcome to missionary work. We are making some great progress with some investigators, though. It can be pretty awkward, though, when people try to ask advice about marital problems and other crazy family ordeals. Being the 18 and 19 year old kids that we are, we don't have the greatest advice, but it is always nice to know we just have to point to the Lord, and his words will help them and heal them far more than man ever could.
Don't have much time, but I'll leave a quote I love.
"That's the way it is when Jesus Christ becomes a reality in your life. It isn't that he somehow makes you do things that you wouldn't want to do otherwise. Rather, you find yourself wanting to do what he would do and respond as he would respond in an effort to bring your life in harmony with His." - Our search for happiness.
I know that the Gospel of Jesus Christ really is the only way to true, lasting, and eternal happiness in this world, not just for the broken and downtrodden, but for every living soul. If you don;t believe me, just try it.
