Hey y'all! The heat has abased a little and I'm enjoying being outside. My comp and I are going to the beach to write letters and possibly fly a kite =]. "The beach" isn't really the incredibly beautiful place you dream about, but it's still awesome. Most of it is just peoples backyards, but there are some public areas.Last week we had another Less Active (LA) miracle. On Tuesday we went to visit some people we'd never met before. We talked to them and testified....to no avail. We left them with our phone number and an invitation to come to church kinda feeling like we couldn't do anything to help them. They are a CUTE family with a 17 month old baby, and weren't sure if God even exists and weren't even willing to let us help them understand. 2 days later (Thursday) we got a call from Bro. Hatcher (the husband) who said he is not willing to give up his views but he and his wife talked about it and they think the church would be good for their son, not to mention the family as a whole. We were so excited!!!! The spirit was working with them after we left, and caused him to call us voluntarily! That's amazing. It would've been so easy for him to say "well, we'll just wait for the next set of missionaries to knock on our door and tell them we think it'll be good." But no, he called! You never know what influence a simple testimony can have when it is sincere. I love seeing how God continues to watch over His children even when they don't obey His commandments. He wants us to turn to Him, but lets us have our agency and choose. He never steps away or turns His head even for one second.I played for the cellist last Saturday =]. Apparently my talents are needed in this ward, I just hope they don't get sick of me. Before Sat. another ward member called "because I heard you can play anything at a moments notice" I don't know who gave me THAT label but it certainly wasn't me! So I played for them, and have been asked to accompany the choir in a few weeks for their song as well. I don't mind at all because I haven't really used my piano skills too much yet (except at the VC) and I like playing for others and bringing the spirit through music. It's my greatest passion.The work continues on. Don't miss the boat on this one! Great blessings await you if you'll just ask, seek, and knock. Love you!!! Have a fabulous week =]
