To begin I will start with the idea that God helps you reach and even go beyond goals when you are ready. This past week my companion and I came to a common consensus that we did not have enough investigators in our pool so we spent the rest of the week trying to find people. We were able to get 12 new investigators and have follow up appointments with them planned for this coming week. To put this in perspective, you have to understand that in most areas two or so new investigators a week is actualy a very "live" area. We may have changed our entire persective on finding and getting people after what we saw happen this week with the Lord's power working. Everything good comes from God, so from the birth of our idea to find new investigators with extreme vigor, all the way to the execution of that goal, God was in control. Now my companion and i set a goal for five newbies but God knew we were ready and willing for more so He made sure that we found all 12 of those who were looking for something good! Sometimes as a misssionary you think you may just be randomly walking (especially when part of your area makes you feel like Tarzan) around but God is always in control.
I am sure you all know that God is a part of your life (even if you don't, you know there are people who love you on this Earth). Look for the love of others and the Love of God in all the small things. People are always willing to help you and make a day better. Look for those small smiles and the bright moments in your day, and never forget that you are loved more than you can ever understand.
I love you all and I am making sure to keep all of you in my prayers
Talk soon
