10/16/2017 Listening to the Holy Ghost

10/16/2017

Tuesday night we got a call from the english elders with a spanish referal for us. We were like sweet, and had decided to go see them the next day. So the next day we head over and we look for this address for like half an hour! But we couldnt find it. So we called the elders and turns out they gave us the wrong address. They gave us the correct one and we finally found it! But no one answered. 


So we decided to just go knocking in the area while we were over there. Hermana asked me where I thought we should start, there was this one house on the corner that stood out to me, so I told her lets go to it. As I was walking up and about to knock we noticed this small sign that said no religious soliciting or whatever. I was like aww man, kinda sad. We walked away but had no idea where to go. So we  decided to pray for direction, and immedietly Hermana got the same feeling I had to go knock on that house! So we decided that if thats what the Lord wanted then we would!


We walked up again, and I knocked. No answer. So I knocked again. Still no answer! Hermana was then like "Hermana! It was a test!!" The Holy Ghost was testing us to see if we would listen and follow his direction, and we passed! We walked away from that house and knew exactly where we needed to go next. But the story isnt over yet! The first house we knocked on these three boys about college age came out and we started talking with them, we got to know them then explained we were missionaries for the Church of Jesus Christ and how we go around teaching people about him. We then asked if they would be intrested in hearing a message and they said yes! So we taught them the restoration for the next hour!! (In english, they preferred to learn in it, most hispanic youth prefer english since theyve grown up here) they were really intreseted in our message and said we could come back (: it was so cool! 


The coolest part is that when we had said our prayer on where to go those boys drove right by us and had just gotten home. If we hadnt had gone looking for the referal and gotten sent in the wrong direction, or not listened to the Spirit then we wouldnt have met those boys and they wouldnt have heard our message! It was so amazing!!


The Lord prepares us to do the things he needs of us, He really is there and is watching over all of us constantly. I can feel his love everyday, and I can feel his love for those I teach, and those I meet. Not everyone is ready to hear the gospel, but thats okay becuase someday they will. We just have to give them a chance (:
