It’s All About the Love

So this week was pretty great! We decided to contact at least 50 people every single day during weekly planning on Thursday and when we left the house that day we were so motivated! We said a prayer before we left telling God that we would be doing that and asked to have some miracles. We started contacting and contacting and contacting. By the end of the day I realized 2 things. 1st thing is that I’m pretty sure it’s not possible to do 50 contacts in a day at least not the kind of contacting that we were thinking of. (We ended up getting about 20) So we lowered our goal to 30 so that we’re still pushing ourselves but not so that it’s completely unachievable. 2nd thing that I realized is that God will trust us more when we are putting forth all of our effort. As we were contacting that first day we only contacted 20 people and more than 10 of them became future investigators or references. The percentage of rejections went down a whole ton! I couldn’t believe it. I think that was the first time in my life that I smiled because of contacting. If we really put forth everything we get back a whole lot more in return. I think maybe it has to do with the fact that when I go out and don’t contact as many people as I possibly can it’s usually because I’m thinking about myself (being a little selfish) and why on Earth would God put his children in my path if I’m not ready for them to give them my full attention and truly try to help them be happy? The answer is simple, He wouldn’t. So that’s probably something I should have learned a long time ago but oh well. I know now. 🙂 Me and Hna. Ellis are working on killing it here in Chile and helping as many people as we possibly can. (It’s all about the love. Not to be weird or anything but honestly it’s true.)
