So yesterday Steve picked up 2 copies of "Preach My Gospel" for us to study. We figured that since we have been called as branch missionaries, we should be reading it. Since both of our copies had markings from our missions, we decided to get new ones and remark them w/ different insights and thoughts. Ironically, earlier that day during class, Steve actually had a missionary opportunity. One of his teachers didn't show up, so a couple of the students decided to stay and work on homework or something. While there, a couple of them started to talk about the "Mormons" and had questions. Since they knew Steve served a mission, they started asking him about the Church. Most of them were just trying to pick on the Church, but one girl was actually listening to Steve's responses and wanted to know more. Eventually the other students left and it was just Steve and the other girl. She then started to ask Steve about our beliefs on the after life; apparently her mother had recently passed away and she was curious to know what would happen. Steve then went on to explain about the plan of salvation, and basically taught a second lesson from "Preach My Gospel." They ended up talking for quite a while. After they were done, she thanked him for his time and being so willing to answer her personal questions. She said never before had her ever felt anyone had actually took the time to answer her questions and that she wanted to know more. Steve of course said he'd love to talk to her about the Gospel whenever she wanted. Right after they were done Steve sent me a text to tell me about it; we were both soooo excited for the opportunity he had to share the Gospel!
We are looking forward to our new callings as branch missionaries and can't wait to be sharing the Gospel again. We almost forgot how much we love being missionaries and sharing this amazing message w/ others. You can't help but be happy when you're doing it!!!
