Time Flies When You Are Serving the Lord!
Here we are starting week 3 of my 3rd transfer, pretty sure it's going to be a great week! especially Wednesday, being the 3rd day.
Looking back to last week though, I'm trying to still process what Happened!
On Thursday, I was calling members to see if we could get one to come to a lesson with us in Sussex, which is 30 minutes away from everyone. After calling the people who I knew would be more open to come in the middle of the day, I realized that we had not yet asked Sister F (who happens to live in sussex). Sister Friars had work, but before she hung up the phone I blurted Out "What about Walter" She passed Walter the phone, and Walter agreed to come to the lesson!
After I hung up I realized what i had just done. I asked Walter, Who has been Inactive since before I was born, to come to a lesson with us. At first I was really nervous. I love Walter, He is one of my favorite people Honestly. I was just so uncertain about How this would all work out in a lesson! After thinking more about it I came to the conclusion that this was a Prompting from God to ask him, and though I may be uncertain, God was certain. And I took Comfort In that!
We Dropped by to pick Walter up, and Dang! He had dressed up in his White shirt and a sweater for Us! Once we got into the Lesson, Walter being Raised in the Same small town as Dawn new many of the same people, and they were able to gab on about the good old days, It came to the point where we had to Stop them for the lesson! The lesson was great though, and Elder Nelson invited Dawn to be baptized. Thanks to this Dawn finally brought forth her concerns!(Dawn has read the Book of Mormon 3 times, and we've extended dozens of invitations) This is where Walter was a blessing, he spoke with Dawn about them, and shared his own experience in conversion. He simply tied her concerns to the Book of Mormon, since what does anything matter, if you know the Book of Mormon to be from God.
Driving Walter home, He shared with us how he had prepared himself for the lesson by studying the scriptures. His Preparation gave him power, and He was able to share his experience with the spirit. I love Walter, and Heavenly Father knew what he needed.
Love Elder Johnson
P.S. Last Sunday Harley, (a member here who is super awesome and works a lot with us) Challenged my Nose. He said His was bigger, I said there was No way, and thus we had Elder Nelson settle it with a nasty old tape measure. Sadly, the glory of my nose was overcome by the size of his. His was 1/8" longer and 1/16" further out from his face.
