Sooo I've got two cool experiences for ya.
1) We had a fallen out appointment, so we stepped outside the building to make a phone call and this lady walks out with some trash and dough on her shirt and stuff. Obviously she had been baking. Well, we just said hello while I waited to see if anybody would answer (the phone). After I hung up this lady then apologized for how she looked and said she was baking. We talked for a while, since we had an investigator in the house and lived down the street, she had seen us a few times. So we talked to her about the plan that God has for us and asked her if she'd like to hear it and set up an appointment. Yesterday she let us in, listened to the first half of the plan of salvation. It was really short cause her one year old kid started to cry. But I prefer twenty minute lessons. She liked it, was open and is ready to hear the rest of the plan. We really need to bring the spirit in there so she realizes this is a little bit more than plain old theology. But that'll happen when we talk about the Book of Mormon. What's funny was when we did that house the first time to find the investigator. We talked to her on the quatch box and she shot us down. Apparently God doesn't give up very easily.
2) We were doing doors in a pretty nice neighborhood. Well I was up and so I klingel and someone picks up on the quatch box. I HATE those things. Well, so I talk to him about happiness and faith. He said he was believing but in his own way. I, expecting him to hang up any minute, starting trying to milk him for information. What exactly does he believe and so on. Turns out he was Christian, just doesn't believe that we know everything. He talked about how he believes some of the truth is being held from us. Well, that's just begging for Joseph Smith. But I did not want to tell this guy the restoration on a quatch box (they're like spirit filters-- nothing gets through) So being sly, we lead into the Book of Mormon and said we had one with us and wanted to give it to him. He finally came out. We taught him a first and he liked it. Couldn't set up another appointment yet but we'll call and take care of that.
Everything's good here.
All right love ya'll stay cool.
