"Something cool that has been going on is we are teaching a
addiction recovery class at a homeless shelter. The hard thing is that they
don't want us to talk about God so it is hard to teach. One day we were
teaching and we had a man stick his hand in the air. When we called on him he
asked us what church we were from. We told him and asked, "how do I become a
member of this church"? He went on to say, "You guys have something and
whatever it is I want it". We are now teaching him. But how amazing and what
a testimony builder! We were not even talking about God but just being there he
could feel the Spirit. No matter where we are or what we are doing we must
always act like members of the church. People know we have something and we
must always remember who we are and what we represent. People are always
watching us. It does not matter if we re a young teacher, a beehive or a
missionary.
My life here is good. We set a goal at the beginning of the week
to teach 20 lessons. So a lesson is a prayer, 2 or more gospel topics, at least
35 minutes and a return appointment. For this area that is a lot of lessons so
it is a huge goal for us. But as we have worked hard and studied and asked for
the Lord for help we have had almost 3 lessons a day. Goals really do mean
something. I bet that dad had a really good time on his hunt. But I told him
that he is not having as much fun as I am having!"
