Kaylee Lofthouse: December 9, 2014: Bus Stops and Temple Day

Hope you have all been having a great week! This week has been AMAZING! Full of miracles. :)

We usually go to this bus exchange to street contact. And one day this week while we were there I went up and started talking to this lady. At first it was just like talking to anyone else, but then she told me she felt like God wouldn't except her because she can't quit smoking but then she opened The Book of Mormon and found an awesome verse that comforted her. So I was like "What?? You have a Book of Mormon?" Turns out her boyfriend is a member (extremely less active) but they have been talking about how if she should become a member or not. And she had been praying that morning of what to do, and that she would receive help and then I walked up to her at the bus stop! She was just so happy and was crying and was hugging me! We met up with her again and she has a lot of work ahead of her but she has such a great desire! So that was an awesome experience.

Then one night we were at that same bus exchange and this one Indian YSA aged guy came up to us and was showing us a picture on his phone of a mormon.org card. An we were like, "Cool, do you have faith in Jesus Christ?" and he told us that after looking at the website he does! So we were like awesome!! And we talked about how the next steps were repentance and baptism and we set a baptismal date with him right there on the street! It was awesome! So we wrote his date on the back of the pamphlet we gave him and he was so cute and was like "Okay, so where do I need to go on this day?" Haha. But we passed his number to the YSA elders and are excited for him!

Then on Sunday we were knocking at this complex and to make a long story short... Everyone was really mean. We knocked into an unfriendly devote Christian and a Jehovah Witness. It was about dinner time and we were about to turn back to go home when we decided to knock a couple more doors... So we decided go skip some doors and go on the other side of the complex. While we were over there this lady shouts out "HEY!" and we thought she was going to yell at us for being in there but she was like "Do you have a bible?" Turns out she is the daughter to the Jehovah's Witness we knocked at earlier but she is Christian and can't let her mom know or she will kick her out. So she had been praying for help and then saw us talk to her mom and then came to find us. It was awesome! It was a miracle! We are excited to meet with this week!

As for a funny thing that happened to us this week... I was talking with a lady at the bus stop and was talking about Jesus Christ when a black guy stepped off the bus and heard me and was like "Jesus is Lord!" And I was like yeah... and kept talking. Then a few minutes later he came up to me and Sister McKee and was like "I have a message from God to give you. The Spirit of Prophecy which is in me says- I the Lord, love you more than everything... (lists the universe and tells me its not a lustful love)" And we were just like thank you... Haha so wild! I love Surrey! Haha :)

We also got to go to the temple today! That's why i'm emailing today if you were wondering. :) But I hope you all have a great week! I love you all!

Love,

Sister Lofthouse
