Well its been a while since Ive done one of these. Well I had a pretty fun experience last week. We went to this investigators house and a man gave us this flyer for a interreligious prayer for the peace in the world. We took and we were just like ok we gotta get to this appointment. So we went and read Enos and talked about prayer and hungering or desiring the anwser. then we after the lesson we asked the investigator if she wanted to go to the pray for the peace event thing and shes like yea lets go. So we went and there was muslims , scientologists , cattolici, protestant and buddihists all doing there prayers and talking to us about peace. Then something in my heads like what would you say if you had to talk about the peace. So I thought about it and finished thinking about it then this guy that help raise this event grabs me and is like your the mormons right? Would you like to come up and tell us about the importance of peace in your church. I was like o... ok. So I went up there and they introduced me and I did a little speal on peace and how we should pray so that we can be instruments for the peace and that we need peace in the family with husbands and wifes and children before we can go outside and pray for world peace. Yea maan I kow that was the prompting of the spirit that helped prepare me for the oppurtunity to get our church known over here and if it werent for the spirit I would have peed my pants in front of everyone and ran away crying. Yea the spirit rocks. D&C 8:2-3
