Jehovah's Witnesses. March 22, 2014

Another transfer goes by...but not much changes for me! I get to stay in Eau Claire with Sister Beeson! This week we had a funny experience. We were sitting doing some weekly planning, and my desk faces the window, so we were watching out the windows as people got out of a car and began knocking on our neighbors doors. Soon they came to our door. We totally had Jehovah's Witnesses knock on our door. It was 100% weird! They tried to give us a pamphlet and we tried to switch with them, but they refused and so we did too. haha. We kind of got a taste of our own medicine this week. I was reminded of what if feels like when strangers knock on your door, but our message is way better than theirs. After they left later that day, I was thinking "Why did they even come here?" All they did was share 2 verses of the bible and try to get us to take their pamphlet, but they were not persistent at all. Sometimes it is hard or me to be persistent and to jump into teaching someone as soon as we meet them. But this experience really reminded me how important it is to show people what our purpose is. We are here to teach people. As soon as we meet, we teach and invite to be baptized. We don not leave them wondering why we came to their door and I am grateful for that! This week I had another reminder how awesome our family is. Thank you for being loving and followers of Christ. With love, Sister Smith
