RJ the Profit

Tue, May 1, 6:39 AM So, Elder Henstra and I are driving around Newcastle on one of the most beautiful clear sunny days we've had thus far this year! and we can't find a house that we are looking for, because he have a lesson coming up with this guy, and we don't know where his house is at. So, We were driving past a nice, clean, rowdy little house, just messy enough to know that a young family lives there. And I was like "Hey let's knock it!" so we stopped and got out, and a cool young mom answered the door, but she had a baby on the hip, and her kids as well as all the neighborhood kids in the back yard playing, so she didn't have time to talk. She told us to come back later, and we turned to go back to our car, just in time to see this dude walking down the road away from us, and without a word to Elder Henstra we both started in Hot pursuit after this dude! blessedly elder Henstra has long legs, so he walked in big long strides till he caught up to the dude, who turned around right as elder Henstra was about to talk to him, and he introduced himself first. We got to talking and found that this guy's name was Rory, and he loves Jesus! and when he saw us, he really wanted to talk to us, but he saw we were busy so he started walking away. Well, as we kept talking he brought up how he raps about God, and how that's his release in life. I'll include a couple videos below, they were pretty good 😁. Man, but long story short, we are now teaching Rory (aka RJ the Profit) and he's loving the message of the Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ! I think it so cool how god was able to lead us to Rory, There's a lot more little details that led to us even being in newcastle to talk to that other dude, that put us in a place where we could find and help Rory. One principle I learned from this is, "If it's good, simply do it!" there's a lot of stuff in this world today, and we can easily overthink things "should i do it?" and then we can of a million reasons not to "oh it might offend them, what will so and so think.." on and on. In order for us to be trusted by God enough to receive a steady flow of revelation and promptings into our lives we need to act! 9 times out of 10, it it is a good thing and you act on it it's acting on a prompting, that's from and apostle of the lord (Ronald A Rasband), and as we act on what may seem to be little promptings, big cool things happen in our lives! "by small and simple things are great things brought to pass" I love you all! Ask god for some opportunities to act on promptings this week, and if needed ask him to teach you the way to recognize how he will speak to you :) -Elder Johnson Ps, fog is way cool, and the big ole' miramichi river finally broke this week! so there is actually a river here now, and there are ton's of ice chunks floating down it, way cool. we saw this one person just chillin in a kayak on one of these chunks floating down river... i was amazed :)
