Hey Sister Bassett,
At the beginning of December, Sister Reed and I had been trying to think of pictures that we could take and send home on our Christmas card. We decided in front of an orange tree would be a lot of fun since citrus doesn't grow like that back home in Utah.
Near one of our recent convert's home are some nice orange trees. When we were there for an appointment, we got out to take a few quick pictures. Well none of them were working out like we wanted them to, and I felt like we were wasting time. So I said a prayer and told Heavenly Father that we were sorry and asked Him to help us take a good a good picture so that we could get back to work. Just as I said those things, a car pulled up and the passenger hollered "Hey, are you the missionaries?" We went up to the car, not quite sure what to think, and said yes. He then said his name was Kevin, that he just moved into the area and wanted to know what time church started so that he could go. We asked him if he was a member and he said no but he has talked to a lot of missionaries before and wanted to go to church to see what it was all about.
Kevin wasn't able to make it to church that week but we began meeting with him. Within that week, we set a baptismal date with him in our third visit with him while teaching the plan of salvation. He came to church the following two weeks and is scheduled for baptism on this Saturday, the 16th.
Oh and when he pulled over he also asked what we were doing. We explained we were trying to get a good picture to send home for our families for Christmas. So he offered to take it for us, and we got the best one out of the bunch. I love how Heavenly Father answers some of the simplest of prayers.
See you tomorrow at Zone Conference!
Love you!
Sister Tara Morton
