Title: In the Right
SO
remember in like elementary school when the motto is like "be in the
right place at the right time doing the right thing."? Well so that
motto is like applicable to like everything. Especially missionary work.
When you're in the right place at the right time doing the right thing,
blessings come! And you are able to be used as a tool in God's hands.
That's pretty cool.
Examples:
One of the days this week we thought it was
going to take a while to get home, so we went home and we ended up
having 30 more minutes. What would be the right thing to do? Be
diligent. So we decided to walk around the block, and since we live
pretty close to the centrum, there's a good amount of people outside. So
we're contacting, and there's this adorable little family by the bus
stop and we start talking to them and they're from Eritrea in Africa and
they don't speak a lot of Dutch but the dad speaks a little more and so
we talk to him and it turns out he is Christian and his family just
came a few months ago and they are in the process of moving. We tell
them we can help with moving and they get SO happy and say that they
know God sent us and they need all the help they can get and they give
us their number and say they are really looking forward to us calling
and they are just such pure souls. So we call them up the next day and
make an appointment for the day after that. When it comes time for the
appointment, we go to their house and they aren't home :( so we call and
they say they are at their other house and so tonight wont work. Sad,
we go back to our bikes and I turn to my companion and say "well since
we're here should we knock a few doors?" And she says "okay"so we knock
some doors and nobody's interested but after like 5 or 6 doors THE WIFE
OF THE FAMILY COMES HOME! And she welcomes us in and gives us a plate of
cookies and she speaks a little english so we talk to her about the
Restoration and have her get her bible and it was so special! We came
back the next night to talk with her and her husband and it was really
cool! They are the cutest little family. And it was only because of our
diligence and being in the right place doing the right thing at the
right time that let us be privileged to be a part of that.
Today, we came to the library to email instead of emailing at
the church and we came a lot later than we normally do, too. But right
when we got here, there was this man right outside who noticed us and
talked to us and said he had all of the books and stuff from us and was
about to get baptized a few years ago but was too busy with work and
everything and he used to come to church but not anymore. We asked if
he wanted to come back and he said yes! So he gave us his address and
number and said he was looking forward to seeing us.
It was incredible. Really, all we have to do is be doing the
right thing, and we'll be put in the right place at the right time.
That's pretty much the coolest thing.
