The First Step On the Path, Is Also the Last

So if you don't like the path, you better back up......FAST!

This week I just saw so me amazing things that go along with this
quote! Our decisions determine our destiny, and every step we take in
the right direction is rewarded. And if we step on the wrong path, we
can always back up!

Here's a story about a great walk my companion and I took in the right
direction, and we didn't even know it:

So we decide to walk down Preble street Wednesday...and it was a
seemingly inconsequential choice, right?! Wrong. We saw three amazing
miracles! We made it to our investigator, Christina's apartment t and
talked with her for a few, and we almost turned back and walked back
to our car. Yet, something told us to keep going. As soon as we walked
out of her complex we met Eric walking his dog. We did our normal
invitation to learn, and he accepted excitedly! After another success,
we could've gone back. After all there was no one on the street. But
we took a few more steps as a car pulled up to the last house on the
street. A man and his daughter got out and sat on their porch for a
few minutes. We were able to talk with them, and it turned out that
they had some negative feelings towards religion. However, as we kept
talking we were able to bear testimony of the power in a relationship
with God and Christ, and they seemed softened. We were able to invite
them to church!
It is so amazing to me how such a small decision brought such amazing
miracles. Any time we take a step towards Christ and following Him, we
are rewarded immediately. I know this is true for everyone,
everywhere. Not just two sisters on Preble street.

We have transfer calls this weekend! Hopefully I stay here, but I will
let you know!
Remember that you have a Savior and a Father in Heaven who loves you.
They will be there every step of the way, if we let them in!
