Last week was tough because we didn't find anybody to teach or
to share this amazing message with. I guess it all comes down to how you rate
success. Even though we didn't teach anyone I can see the Lord's hand at work
because this week we had a lot more doors opened to us and even though they said
they weren't interested it was still really good … better than the door staying
closed any day.
In our companionship study one morning we were talking about the
sons of Mosiah and how they decided to teach the gospel to their brethren, the
Lamanites. They prayed for faith and
strength and trusted in the Lord their God.
It reminds me how, even though things might not be going our way right
now, we have to trust in the Lord and have faith he will open doors for us so we,
his servants, can do his work.
President Benn told me this story: "Do you know man was made perfect by God, but
man corrupted himself. There are lots of stories about great inventions. In one story, a
man made a needle and put a hole in the end and called it a sewing needle and
said it was great. But to his surprise another man took the same needle and
drilled a hole through it and called it an injection needle. I marvel at the
technology of today. There are numbers of ways available to teach the Gospel
but nothing is better than the way the Lord did it so many years ago. So the
Lord knows which way is effective. Right now, maybe knocking on doors is the
best way. So, like the hymn goes … 'Put
Your Shoulder to the Wheel' and be the best missionary today!"
