This week we saw a great deal of miracles! They were little ones, but they were miracles! First, it snowed! A TON! Normally I'd be wrapped up in a blanket at home sipping on some hot chocolate and would not be thankful for the snow in the slightest, but the snow has proven to help open the hearts of others. Service -- it's a wonderful thing.
We spent almost all of the time in our area shoveling this week. Some for members, less-active members, former investigators, or others we hadn't even met yet -- wherever the Spirit directed. One driveway is a miracle I want to share with you all!
We felt like we needed to serve a former investigator for a while now. The snow came and we knew it was a perfect opportunity for that! We got there and they weren't home. We shoveled anyway. =) We left a note on their door and went to the next house. They hadn't met with the missionaries for over a year, so we didn't think much of it. That night they sent us a text thanking us and asking if we could come over for dinner this coming Friday! We are so excited! It didn't come from being pushy -- it came from pure Christlike service. We didn't want anything out of it, but we are more than excited to help their family in anyway we can. So sweet!
Moral of the story is serve. Serve even when it's 1 degree outside and the ice seems impossible to scrape off the concrete. Christ will always help when you go about doing good. That is what He did, after all. We can all be disciples of Him as we strive to gain and share that charity for others. It is such an amazing gift! I know Heavenly Father wants to give it to us if we only ask and seek for it.
Yep. I love seeing moments like that. Makes serving a mission...and being out in the freezing cold...feel like I'm in paradise!
So.....go about doing good!
Love you all!
