So cool

Hey! I hope everyone's doing ok. I just had to share this really cool experience our family just had. Our Stake is doing a "Special Invitation Sunday" open house Sacrament Meeting on September 21st. Pass along invitation cards were made and each family in our ward was challenged to take some to pass on to friends, family, and neighbors. I called the full-time missionaries a week ago and asked if they had any left. They assured us that they did and asked how many we needed. I told them I needed between 15 and 20 so we could get them out to every house in our neighborhood, after which there was dead silence. When I asked if that was too many, they assured me that it would be fine...they were just in shock because no one else had asked for so many! When they came about 15 minutes later, they gave us the cards and left us with a promise that if we would be prayerful and follow through, Heavenly Father would bless our family with courage and the ability to reach our goal. Tonight for Family Home Evening, Charles, Heather, Eric, Rachel and I had a prayer and then divided up and covered the whole neighborhood. Some of us were very nervous and even hesitant, but we pulled together and got it done. There were a couple of negative reactions, but all in all it was a very positive, uplifting, great experience. A few people even expressed some interest. We came back home with 4 cards, 2 of which will go to people that Charles works with, 1 to Mark's girlfriend, Claudia, and the last to a cashier at the grocery store that Karla has become friends with. What a wonderful thing it's been to share...as a family...something we are so privileged to have to share.
