THE BERG #17

hey yall! had ourselves a pretty amazing week down here..hope yall can say the same! here are some highlights

*on our bikes on our way to an appointment (ill explain the car situation in a tic) and we were waiting on the street for our member to meet up for our lesson...a car drives past. we wave and smile. the car stops. hangs a U-y. pulls up alongside the curb. rolls down the window (and we thought we were weirdos for doing that last week! haha) he asks "so uh are you guys those umm.. umm.." "missionaries?!" "yes! but like for the mormons?!" "yes sir!" "oh! i want to be a member sooo bad!" YOURE KIDDING!!!!!!!!!!!!! so we ran over and got down to business. turns out our new friend had ran into a couple missionaries before on the street but has never been to church or taken lessons..but he did some research online and wants in. lately we have been praying for prepared people to find us and let me tell yall...ITS WORKING! and our new friend's name says it all...we are so "FORTUNATE"!! 

*so remember joseph? the guy walking his dog that we decided to talk to late one night before heading out? so we finally got to have a sit down lesson with him and it was UNREAL!!! he told us that he knew "God set me up! im supposed to talk with yall....i was just standing outside and God told me to walk my dogs...i never walk my dogs...but i did and then i saw yall and was like 'aww man' but then you went the other way...but then in a couple minutes i heard one of yall say 'hello!' and i just laughed..God set me up!" it was the coolest to hear his side of the story and really see God's hand in the work...its too perfectly orchestrated to be our work...Heavenly Father "sets us up" and if we are obedient and listen to the spirit--we will have success! Joseph told us that God also informed him he needs to read the Book of Mormon. and when i told him we have a modern day prophet, President Thomas S. Monson, jospeh chuckled to himself and said "God told me i need to listen to what this man has to say." guys. the Lord prepares hearts. promise!!!! 

*so ponderizing...I LOVE IT! this week i ponderized  3 Nephi 5:13. i went through and studied the footnotes/certain words and phrases and this is the end result (the stuff in parenthesizes are my thoughts/studies): "Behold (hey! check this out! im about to tell you something important), I am a disciple (pupil; learner; follower) of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I have been called (commanded; privileged) of him to declare (boldly testify; preach; proclaim; tell all) his word (the truth; the good news; God's commandments and teachings) among his people (the elect; prepared; those willing to enter into a covenant), that they might have everlasting life (eternal happiness/bliss; immortality; glory; salvation)." HOW GREAT IS MY CALLING?!?!?!

*oh! another story that reminds me of a classic article in the "Friend" or something..but our car battery kept dying..so we would just get it jumped by people whenever we needed to..but then we made the unwise decision to try to visit an investigator that lives in the boonies.......they werent home...and neither was anyone else within a 10 mile radius...and the car wouldnt start....but we prayed and after several attempts God blessed us and we made it home safe and sound!! (dont worry...we got our battery changed haha)

God is sooo sooo good! have a blessed week! love yall!
