I feel like this week we taught the Plan of Salvation a lot, and while thinking of this plan, I'm just so amazed at how loving and merciful God truly is! We contacted this one sweet lady this week, who actually got slightly emotional because in just a few days it would be the time of year that her father passed away. We were able to teach a bit about the plan and I'm just so grateful for the knowledge of why we are here, where we are going, and where we came from! She accepted a Book of Mormon as well as an invitation to learn more. It's been amazing to me how much my heart has grown and how even if we have a lot of rejections, maybe I'm learning the importance of even just one soul coming closer to our Savior!
Other highlights... So we've been receiving a lot of referrals lately! Most haven't been interested, but we did meet a lot of people of different faiths! There was this one guy who's actually a Jehovah's Witness, he was sweet and said that if we ever needed anything to stop by. He even told us that if we needed to use the restroom, he'd even step out of the house so we could obey our rules haha! One thing that I have learned lately is that there really shouldn't be any amount of rejection that keeps you from moving forward with faith, hope, and trust! Another highlight was probably the church tour that had with a family we're teaching :) Also, a one thing that really made our day was that we went to contact this one family, and they just starting laughing and invited us in. They explained that literally a minute ago they were talking about how it had been a really long time since missionaries had stopped by, and then we knocked!
So, in the statement about the Las Vegas shooting the Church did, I love the last sentence: "May God bless them with the peace and comfort only He can provide in such tragic and heartbreaking moments." I really think that if we look back at a point of hardship, we can see that we did receive help and comfort from others, but that there's a special kind of strength that only our Heavenly Father can give us!
