Garage Tours

An experience we had this week helped me remember how important it is to always be in tune with the spirit so that we can understand what Heavenly Father is telling us. We were out street contacting and we saw a man carrying things from his car into his garage, so we went up and asked if we could help him. He didn't speak English very well, so he looked at me with a blank stare and said, "Garage?" I was like "Ya? Can we help carry things into your garage?" And again he said, "Garage." And I was like "Ya.."  Then he motioned to us to come to his garage and when we got there he gave us a tour of it, hahah, so about 7 minutes into him pointing at all of his belongings I was like, "Okay, what can we help with?" And he said "Help?? Oh no. Thank you." Hahah! Not only does misunderstanding create confusion, it gives garage tours as well.    

Our friends are doing wonderfullllll. Remember the friend that we were able to teach last week? He hasn't read from the scriptures in around 20 years and we have been studying the Book of Mormon with him every other day. He will pick a topic that he wants to learn about and he has started to bring study material to our lessons! He is reading from the Book of Mormon as well as the Bible, printing out scriptures that go along with the topic, and coming with so many questions and insights!! It's amazing how the influence of the gospel can immediately change our habits and desires. He had no desire to learn more a couple of weeks ago, but now he can't get enough. There is SO much power in the word of God.
