hahahahha i will admit...this was not one of my brightest ideas...but we were desperate just to have someone let us in their door while tracting! we were in the neighborhood of a potential investigator named, Karen..and the house where she lived was empty...and so we knocked on the doors around it...and when someone answered the door we would say; "Hi are you karen?" ( knowing well that it indeed was not karen) and they would say no and then we would say..."oh okay cool....well we are missionaries...etc." hahaha....it.....did not work....but hey! trial and error....trial and error....haha
but something REALLY cool happened!!!!!! sister kirchhoefer and i were coming home for lunch one day and when we were walking in this lady was carrying a box into our apartment complex and sister kirchhoefer, being the nicest human EVER, said "hey can we help???"! turns out that this lady was moving here from south carolina (Shout out to my home slice sister Reinhart! :)) and she was 60ish and really needed help!....so heres me....with a bad attitude cloud..thinking: "okay...its rainy, cold, muddy.....it better just be a few lamps and boxes we carry in..." and we go out and lift up the storage unit...and theres a couch and some dressers and a cedar chest...anything heavy...it was in there.....hahaha so we lift up this cedar chest and it felt like there were 5 sumo wrestlers in there! It was sooooooo heavy! And as we were carrying it in and rain was pouring in my face i thought "okay Heavenly Father....did not ask for this one! i want to do missionary work! not move things...." and later i realized that the night prior to meeting these ladies from south carolina...i had prayed and asked God to bless me with an opportunity to serve! in some way! just to provide me with that chance to help one of His sons or daughters!....after that experience i realized how REAL God is! He is there and He listens! He is no idle God! he is actively involved in the fine details of our lives! I know that to be true! i am grateful He is willing to work through such a weak instrument like myself!
