Here is one cool experience (of many) that happened this week:
Two weeks back, at the end of a long day, we decided to knock one more door. We got in, and taught a young man (Marcos), his girlfriend (Felisha), his uncle, and his little sister. Marcos doesn't believe in God. Felisha isn't sure what she believes. Still, it was a good lesson. We talked about faith and the Restoration. We spent most of the time on the topic of faith. We left feeling good, but not feeling that anything spectacular had taken place.
Fast forward two weeks: At Church yesterday a girl came up to me, with an envelope in hand. She gave it to me, saying "this is from Felisha". (The envelope deliverer was one of the McGreggor twins -- who just so happened to be a neighbor 10 years ago back in California!). Felisha had written a letter to Hermana Stuart and me. In it she told us that we'd asked about faith. She expressed how she felt empty because everyone else seemed to have an answer, while she did not. She wants us to teach her more. She has several friends that are members of the Church. Ever since we met her, wheels have been turning in her heart and mind.
What a tender mercy. Wish I could tell you about others, but I am short on time today. Look for tender mercies this week in your life. They are always there, if we're looking!
Love,
Leshelle
