Sharing the Gospel (November 14, 2016)

This week. Wow so much good happened. The best thing that happened was inside of me. I feel like I finally realized that no matter what my attitude was, I was going to be a missionary, so why not focus on the things I did like? There has been so much good going on!
For example, we went to an outlying town this week and honestly we didn't know why. We went to visit one person who had a note next to her name that said "Maybe moved?" We got up there and we could not find the house. So we laughed and started walking down the street with the intent to knock on some doors. 

I looked at Sister Long while laughing said "Why did we drive all the way to Amber to tract? Why not just tract in Chickasha?" 
She shook her head and we both shrugged our shoulders and continued on our way. We knocked on like 6 doors and not one opened.... so we started walking down this one street and we saw a man who was walking in our direction. When we got a little closer we called out to him and asked him how his day was. Long story short we were able to share the Restoration with him as he listened very intently. He asked for a Book of Mormon, and asked where our church building was! (which never happens) 
He laughed to himself after we bore our testimonies and said "You girls may just convert me from Baptist to Mormon"
We could not contain ourselves. We exchanged information, and then when we were out of his sight we literally jumped and danced! It was very refreshing to meet someone like him
I am so grateful for this gospel and for the ability that I have to testify that I know that this church is true. And that I know that it has changed my life. I know that anyone who gives the Book of Mormon an honest chance has the chance to change their life. If they read it and pray about it God will let them know that it is true. And if the Book of Mormon is true then Joseph Smith was a prophet, and if Joseph Smith was a prophet he was called of God, and this church is Jesus Christ's church reestablished on the earth today. Isnt that wonderful news?? So go share it with your neighbors, with your friend at school, because you, YOU could change someones life for the better. 
Dare to be a missionary. 
I love you all. Have a wonderful week!!
love,
Sister Webber
