ok so my best day and worste day were probably the same day once again... i found that after overcoming the greatest opposition you find the greatest happiness. so im going to tell you a story. the 2 most handsome missionaries woke up sunday morning, showered, shaved,ate, and finished up what they needed for their 930 meeting. they leftfor their meeting at about 920 which put them there about 5 minuteslate. they had their meeting with a very awesome man brother segurawho is their ward mission leader and is very very ready to help in theLords work always looking for ways to better it. they close their meeting with a prayer and the missionaries elder tortuga and estufa make some copies of a paper that the branch president would laterneed. they went to the bathroom and then decided they would grab lunch at the house and come back for church. they are riding down the roadand they are about to pass the road delta when elder estufa says " HEY TORTUGA what do ya say we visit paul(a less active boy)?" Tortuga says yeah that would be awesome, we can invite him to church today. so they go down delta 8 houses and stop at pauls house. the set their bikes up against the house and go up to the door. the elders were thinking well we will be like 5 minutes, we will invite him to church and see what we can do to help him. well his mom, who is not a member, answers the door and invites them in ( yes there is another male in the house!) so they look at each other and can read eachothers minds and know they should teach a lesson. so they go in and teach a very powerful lesson and they can feel the spirit very very strongly but it was about a 15 minute lesson and they closed with a prayer and it was way way amazing. they walk out and the first thing elder estufa saysis, " YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!!" elder tortuga," yeah i know that was soooo awesome i cant belive we got in, you havnt gotten in there since you got here and now we did." then he realizes why estufa said it he looked where his bike was and was is the key word...someone had stolen his bike on the sabbath day. then estufa starts thinking and is more happy about getting in with paul and later he gota phone call about an amazing miracle that happened with a referal that he gave to some sisters and he was more focused on peoplessalvation than the bike that was just takin. he looks at elder tortuga and says you ride and il jog home we have a bike there i can borrow,elder tortuga says well lets just go to the church and we can get a ride home after and the spirit said that was what they needed to do so elder estufa says ok i think that the lord may have something for us there. so they get to the church and there is a member and he says hei have been thinkin about this family that you spanish missionaries should go by and gave them a referal that they probably wouldnt have gotten at any other time. later that night elder estufa was thinking about the day and himself, he thought about how much he has changed as a person. he thought before my mission or even in the beggining i would have probably been yelling and freaking out if my bike got stolen but instead , of course i was upset, i thought about what God had planned for us in that moment and i thought of others salvation and not about me or what I had lost, he realized in that moment that he is really starting to become the person that his family and his Heavenly Father want him to be. i think that was the way that Satan THOUGHT he could stop these 2 mighty and handsome missionaries but he thought wrong.
im borrowing a bike now and all is well, the Lords work cannot be frustrated. haha that was my story and i hope you all enjoyed it,but now i gotta get running i love you all and i hope all is well. let me know if there is anything that i can help with!
love elder taylor stosich
