So I have now been away from home for a little bit over a
month, it's kind of gone by faster than I thought it would.
But this last week has been awesome,
A really cool story happened!!
So my companion and I were walking around handing out cards
and talking to people about the gospel. There was this woman sitting on the
bench waiting for the bus so we thought perfect let's talk to her. So we
started talking to her and it was going good and she seemed like she was
receiving our message well. Then when her bus came, she stopped and waved it by
and then broke down crying.
Elder Paul and I then sat down and talked to her and she
said she had been having a hard time because she is a single mom and her family
doesn't help out a lot and she had already taken a bus and got off at the wrong
stop so that's why she was waiting at the one by our apartment. So we taught
her about the gospel a little more and about the restoration and then the next
bus came so we got her number and she said we could have another lesson
sometime.
Later we started texting her to set up a return appointment but when she sent
us her address, she wasn't actually in our area. This part was a little frustrating for Elder Paul
and I . . . bummer. So we referred her to
the sister missionaries in that area and told her that, and she was fine with
it. But we thought bummer, she was cool and we wanted to teach her.
This is where it gets good, the next day we get a text from
the sister missionaries after they had a meeting saying our referral is awesome
and she started reading the Book of Mormon and just felt extremely better about
her life after talking to us and that she is now on date to be baptized!!
I just wanted to share this story with you all because I think its really cool, and I know that God blesses us. Even though she missed
her bus stop it turned out good in the end, she met us and we planted a seed of
Faith and the sister missionaries helped it grow.
I am extremely grateful for the gospel in my life and I know
it can bless others like it has blessed my life.
❤
Elder McVey
