So because of the blitz the President has opened the Elders area to us so we can help them with all of the referrals and he gave us unlimited miles. So that's way cool!
I have told you all about the push to talk to everyone, well now they have made a new key indicator category in our mission called 'finding lessons' which is basically anyone we have a conversation with and share a simple restored truth with (no prayer included). It is a lot harder than it sounds ok. Especially in Oxford, because no one is out. At district meeting on Wednesday the zone leaders specifically challenged Sister Lindsay and I to have 10 finding lessons everyday. We only had 50 min of finding that evening in Meijer, and the parking lot, and we needed to buy water because there is a water crisis happening here right now. So we set out and embraced the awkward and started talking to everyone, we talked to about 14 people and only 7 of those counted as 'lessons'. While in the check out line I asked the man in fount of us how his day was going. He angrily responded 'Crappy', I was determined to get 10 lessons so I asked why. He was thoroughly surprised and then proceeded to tell us about his awful day. Well we, being missionaries, told him about what we do... Leave our family for 18 months, fly wherever we are called, ya know the whole bit. And he was amazed! He asked all these questions and his countenance changed! He was no longer Greg with the crappy day but Greg who was smiling and laughing in the grocery store. We set up an appointment to come see him and his grandchildren. He was almost finished checking out when he told the cashier to scan our water too. I almost cried out of gratitude! We are going back to teach him this week and we are so excited!
So I guess what the point in writing this email is to tell y'all to do something kind for someone else! I know you will receive blessings if you do so!
Love Sister Ashlee Evelyn Witt
