Working on the face tan

Hey all!!
Wow!! It was quite the awesome week!! Just a lot of working on the face tan while working hard finding who the Lord has prepared to hear the message of the Restoration... Ok maybe that should the other way, either way both are going great! We've had some super cool experiences! Something that my companion and I have been working real hard on doing a better job of is finding those that are already prepared for the gospel and listening harder for the promptings of the Spirit in that finding process. I think at times we pick a part of our area to work and though that may have been an inspired thing to plan, when we actually finally get there, we are blinded by a self imposed, strict obligation to do what we said we would even when the Lord may be putting us there for a different reason.
Our desires, effort and attention are constantly being competed for. Especially while in the heat, humidity and long sleeves, it is very very very easy to tune out the Spirit and knock out the street you planned to knock last night and being obedient and working real hard at the same time. This will not bring you as much success as if you took the necessary effort and attention to listen and follow what He instructs, then combined with obedience and hard work you will find those that are ready. This takes faith and a firm knowledge that there are people prepared for you to teach.
One of these experiences we had on Sunday night. We were knocking a street we had only the night before planned to be at, and after two doors, were prompted to go to a different street. As we walked one block more south, we knocked on the first house of that street and found a man who was looking for a christian church, but not just any but "the" church of Jesus Christ. He now has a baptismal date for the 10th of July... This same thing is applicable in life and as we put aside that which fights for our attention in the world, and listen for the Spirit, we can be blessed with even more blessings than we might already have to enjoy!!
