Just because I am in
the mood to show off my mad skills, guess who changed the windshield wipers all
by herself? Yeah that's right, this girl! I've never even pet new wipers on
before in my life, but I tinkered with the car (out in 10*F weather at night!!)
while Sister Stettler made phone calls in the heated car. I don't know much
about cars, but I know how to figure out how things work. If I din't loath mathematics
so much, I think I would be an engineer of some sort. Oh, don't worry, I'm not
puffed up in the vanities of my heart, I'm just squealing with delight at
myself! Oh wait...
I can really testify
that the Spirit leads us to where we need to be, not always to who. Sister
Stettler and I went to go see an elderly gentleman who happened to not be home,
but we felt that we where right were the Lord needed us, so all we had to do
was find the person whom we needed to be with. After a few minutes of knocking
on doors, Sister Stettler told me that a former investigator lived up a flight
of stairs from the door we just knocked. We decided "what the heck,"
and knocked on her door as well. We were warmly welcomed, to my surprise.
Apparently she didn't receive the sister too well last time they went to check
up on her. Within a matter of minutes sitting on her couch, Carmen broke down
in tears. Only moments before she heard our knock at the door, she had been
contemplating suicide. We must be trustworthy vessels of the Lord's Spirit if
we are to find and teach those prepared. I'm very grateful that Sister Stettler
listens to and acts on the promptings of the Spirit.
Today Sister Stettler
and I got our hair cut. Because there are some pretty sketch places in
Buckhannon, we went to a Paul Mitchell Salon so our cuts would be legit. It was
costly, but SO WORTH IT! I just melted as the hair dresser massaged my scalp
and lathered soap in my hair. She cooed over my healthy hair, said it was the
softest hair she's felt in years. Most people who step into her salon come with
stripped hair that has been dyed so many times that it is brittle. I talked to
her the whole time to keep myself from falling asleep (it was like a massage!)
I was just at the point when I was going to ask her if she was religious at all
when she turned the loud blow dryer on. I got her card and plan on visiting her
again in a couple months or so. Even though we don't proselyte on preparation
days, there are still so many ways to share the gospel!!!!!
