Hey Mom!
This past week has been one of many mighty
miracles!!! Elder Carter and I have been working on managing our time. We
sometimes get sucked into tasks that just take way to long! Or are really not
that important. This week we have made some serious strides in the right
direction in that regard. Following our exchange with the Othello Zone Leaders
Friday, we had an eventful weekend. It came as we strive to follow the spirit
in ALL that we do. We were contacting a referral we had received and they ended
up not being home. As we returned to our car we felt the need to knock a few
doors because we are in every place for a reason. The first door we knock we
talked to this Hispanic man that had a cute little family. I didn't get much
from the conversation but he wanted us to come back because Elder Carter speaks Spanish and is a spiritual GIANT. Sadly, we aren't able to go and teach Spanish
families. We handed him off to the other missionaries and went along. Again
returning to the car we felt prompted to knock on this door. A random door I
might add. Following the "little thought" or prompting we knocked the
door and waited to see what happened. The door opened and a teenage girl just
walked out and shut the door behind her, intending to talk to us for a bit.
After an amazing discussion she allowed us to continue coming by. My
explanation of this story is alot less dramatic than it really was but I
couldn't help but learn from that experience. Elder Carter and I are constantly
looking for more ways that we can have his spirit to be with us. Without his
spirit we are worthless and as we have desired his spirit more it has
transformed our missionary work. That experience of knocking on a random door
has happen more than a handful of times this week. As we searched for his
guiding hand and acted on the promptings to our hearts and minds miracles have
occurred. When we as children of our heavenly father follow the promptings of
the Holy Ghost a miracle follows every time. A miracle that changes the course
of ones life for the better. This work is incredible! It is coming to a close
but it won't end without someone entering the water! haha Right now we are
helping Rocky work toward the 21st for baptism. He is doing so great! He had
some struggles with tea and coffee but dropped them and he has never had so
much juice in his life haha. He is doing so great! We will keep you updated on
how he is doing. He loves the church and continues to just impress us with his
faith. Until Next week!
Love,
E. Archibald
