Alma 36:20

"I've learned a really great lesson this week that the harder you work the happier you are. Don't be confused thinking that because I worked harder that somehow we just had so much work, nope actually the opposite, we had about zero work this week. We gave our all, and nothing really came from it. Friday was the first day this past week that someone let us in their house, and it was a less-active member, great but they just need friends. But the Lord always gives tender mercies that make everything worth it. So, my first investigator is getting baptized on Saturday! Umm what. How did that happen you ask? Well I will tell you. Some Elders were teaching a girl, and she is 19 graduating from high school this year. They taught her all the lessons, set her for baptism, and then called us to take over so she can have an easy transition into the YSA ward. We've taught her once, and joined the Elders for a lesson. She came to the YSA ward this week, and is already friends with everyone. She's so great. SO that is the story of my first baptism. Heavenly Father just put her on a silver platter, and passed her over. We may not have been able to teach her everything or been able to teach anyone else but it was enough. I will get the door slammed on my face a thousand fold for just that tender mercy. I will get the door slammed on my face a million fold if that's what God wants. I do try to talk to the people before, and even after they slam the door, but only God, and themselves can soften their hearts.
