Hey Everyone!
This week has been one full of tender mercies and miracles! We had some really awesome experiences throughout the week. One of the craziest came from last night actually! We were contacting a family that we wanted to meet and introduce ourselves to and before we got to there house I saw a man in his garage working on something so i decided to go up and talk to him! He grew up in Caldwell Idaho all his life and talked to "many many Mormons." I proceeded to ask him what was his understanding of the Book of Mormon? The interesting part is he talked for a long time about how he doesn't understand what Joseph Smith was thinking.. because his interpretation of what the bible doesn't sound anything like the Bible. I chuckled to myself because soo many people believe the Book of Mormon is some kind of modern day interpretation of the Bible. Those that have read it know that it dosen't sound anything like the Bible because it is a entirely different testimony that Jesus is the Christ through another group of people that lived on this earth. Once we explained this to the man he was quite interested and accepted a Book of Mormon and was going to read it. The crazy part about it was we decided not to keep going down to the family we originally wanted to see and procceded to walk out of the neighborhood we were in.. Once we got out of the neighborhood, a car slams on its breaks in the middle of the road and kicks it in reverse to then talk to us and tell us that they want to meet with us. I love this! In order for that very thing to happen everything we did before that had to happen. The decision to walk from the car to the families house, to talk to the man (30min conversation at at that), and then to decided not to contact that family! It was really just awesome! I LOVE THE LORDS TIMING!
This P-day we went and picked peaches at the Church Orchards in Marsing Idaho, and it was pretty fun! I have never seen peaches as big as these ones! They were massive! We picked roughly 15,000 Lbs. you could say the amount of peach puns was also in the 15,000's haha
I don't have time to talk about my thoughts from this week so ill have to include that next week!
Keep Smiling,
Love Elder Gerrard
