Everything is great down here in the L/P area! It's been freezing the last couple of days, but today it's 50 degrees and raining "like a Banshee"!
We found a new investigator named C this week. We had been tracting for three hours in 18-degree weather . . . br-r-r-r . . . and had had absolutely no success. The very last door we knocked was golden! C let us in right away. She is the happiest, most optimistic person I've ever met. We're super excited to teach her!
We haven't had too many appointments this week so we've been tracting a lot. We've had some interesting experiences! At one door we were talking with a dad, and his kids were standing behind him. He was really uncomfortable talking about religion in front of his kids. Sister L asked him if he was Christian. The guy said no, and Sister L asked "What are you?" The son (8) looked at her like she was crazy and said, "American!" Sad commentary, that. We were talking to another dad that same day and were in the middle of testifying when sirens started going off and things got a little crazy. I guess he had forgotten to turn his house alarm system off before he opened the door! I just don't understand why it took so long to go off. A few days before that we were talking to this woman who was holding back a huge dog behind the door. The exact second I started testifying of the Restored Church, the dog went crazy! Like really crazy. It was a bit scary, actually. It's interesting to see the distractions that the adversary causes while we're talking to people. A few minutes later a guy answered the door in his long underwear. Yeah ... that was exciting, too. He was trying to provoke us, of course. We just smiled and shared our message, keeping very good eye contact! I'm sure that won't be the last time that something awkward happens at the door!
