When we first received this assignment my only concern was that we would never get an opportunity to do actual missionary work -- contacting, teaching, etc. Well, not true! We have had plenty of opportunities.
We recently spent our preparation day just being missionaries. We had arranged with Rebecca (our Yogurt friend) to meet with her again. We took the train to Manchester and sat across from a woman who seemed very interested in our message. She accepted a Book of Mormon and promised to read it. She was on her way to London and would read while traveling.
We then met with Rebecca and again taught her. It is just so fun to be continually bearing testimony and expressing feelings about our beliefs. We have come to love this young woman like our own.
On our way home we stopped to buy a sandwich and the young man who helped us was an inactive member of the church. He took his dinner break and ate with us asking us how he could get back into activity. Once again, an opportunity to teach and testify.
On the train ride home, my little heart was just bursting. To think the Lord would use little 'ole us to spread the seeds of the gospel and help others! I told Richard that my life has been filled with many many glorious days but this simple day of just sharing testimony was right up there with the best!!! I was experiencing the pure joy of missionary work!
I really really love being a missionary!
