December 31, 2019 - I Hate Bus Stops (Week 41) - Philadelphia, PA


HAPPY NEW YEAR!!🎉 I hope you all make some great new years resolutions and stick to them, because as Elder Holland once said, "The start of a new year is the traditional time to take stock of our lives and see where we are going, measured against the backdrop of where we have been. I don’t want to talk to you about New Year’s resolutions, because you only made five of them and you have already broken four. (I give that remaining one just another week.)"

This week we rode the bus SO MUCH!! I really dont mind riding the bus, but I absolutely HATE waiting at the bus stop! 

It was a good week and these past 2 days I have really learned how perfect Gods timing is. Just today Sister Hales and I walked to pick up some lunch and then decided to go back to the church to eat it. Well at the church was some members who were cleaning up from a wedding reception. A delivery guy was there picking up some things that the members had rented for the reception. Well, turns out these tables they rented weren't very good quality. But the member tipped him for his efforts. The worker felt bad about accepting the tip because of what happened. Well, the member told him to keep this tip, but that next time he sees missionaries to talk to them. He agreed and they had a gospel centered conversation. 

Well just about a minute into this conversation we walk in! We were able to answer some of his questions and we gave him a Book of Mormon. He was so excited to read it and to learn more. 
It's amazing to see how simple member missionary brings forth so many good things! It is never as hard as you may think, I can promise you that. But I would like to encourage you all to think of someone that you can share a scripture, an uplifting quote, or a video with to brighten their day. 

Keep on keeping on!
