The Lord really just knows what he's doing. And thank goodness for that because on Thursday I certainly didn't.
After our zone council and lunch that morning, Sister Sattler and I set out to go visit a couple gray dots (people whonhave oreviously been taught but dropped because they weren't interestedor weren't progressing), one of which the previous sisters had found and scheduled a visit for in area book. We had his address and phone number and a note with the scheduled visit saying "drop by! We have a good feeling about them!" However, we could not get ahold of him, and when we got to the town house complex he lived in, the unit # was nowhere to be found. We ran out of time to look for his place, and had to go to our next lesson; also a gray dot that we had found and scheduled a lesson with. Upon getting to the apartment complex, we had the same problem as before, EXCEPT we were able to get ahold of this one and she informed us that she no longer lived at that address and felt so bad that she didn't think to tell us the new one. And we felt bad because she was actually looking forward to our visit. We scheduled another visit though!
Anywho, it's fair to say that we were feeling quite frustrated, and feeling like we couldn't find anyone we were supposed to. We had just spent so much time in a car driving around with no success to be found. So Sister Sattler wisely suggested we take advantage of the sunny day and go to a park to do some finding and take a breather.
So that's what we did. For the next hour Waterloo park was our place of refuge AND flocked with sheep to feed! We met Amanda, a young mom slowly trying to make her way back to church after her sister's passing and feeling angry with God. And we met Sep, a man from Turkey, new to Christianity and the only Christian from a family of practicing Muslims. We set up a follow-up appointment and look forward to hearing more about his journey in the upcoming week!
The lord knows what He is doing. He led us to find the people we were supposed to. Sometimes His plan is not the plan made by us that morning, and when it's not, it's always better.
On Friday we had a lesson with our new friend Puja, who I found on Facebook through a community group. She has been in Canada only 5 months and loves meeting new people and trying new things. She comes from a Hindu background and considers herself very spiritual but hasn't practiced any religion for a long time because she felt like the things she was practicing were restricting her from feeling the spirit the way she wanted to feel it.
BUT she was intrigued by the Bible. We did a little study with her from Romans 8 and had a great conversation about who God is, that He is our Father, and He is loving, and after having that spirit filled discussion she says, AND I QUOTE, "I feel like your God is calling to me, I don't think we met by accident."
AMEN HE IS CALLING TO YOU! HE IS YOUR GOD TOO! AMEN WE DIDN’T MEET BY ACCIDENT! GOD WANTED US TO MEET!
She then asked us if we had a church service she could attend. We are meeting with her again this coming week at the church to give her a tour and hope to see her at church on Sunday!!
OH MY LANTA GOD IS GOOD! LIKE ZIP UP THE TENT GOOD! JAW DROPPING, SPEECHLESS BECAUSE THE SPIRIT DOES ALL THE TALKING GOOD!
Ok well I think that's enough yelling for one email. Love ya all many bunches! Go give em Heaven!
Love,
Sister Court

Made sushi with the young women. Also that sushi has chicken in it (this humble follower of christ CANNOT eat fish😌)
