1. We went to see this 17 year old girl. We had tried her about 3 other times but she was never home. This time her mom answered and said she was in the shower but then all of the sudden she popped around the corner and started talking to us. She and her mom came out on the porch and we all sat down and had "porch party" (as they called it here). We answered their questions about why bad things happen to good people and talked about making good decisions in life. Then her older sister walked out and started asking us more questions, really direct ones like, "what makes the baptism so holy? is it the holy water? or what?" We spent another 20 minutes answering her questions and explaining the symbolism of baptism and why we do it. She said that she really needed to do that, ha ha, we were really excited.
2. While going to another appointment, we decided to knock on the next door apartment. A guy answered and said, "Hey I recognize you guys. Don't you drive a red corolla?" We said yes and then he said, "You guys have waved to me twice...nobody ever waves at me! Why don't you guys come back next week. I'm busy right now doing business but I would like to talk to you guys." It was such a neat experience because it was by such a small and simple thing. Alma 37:6 Now ye may suppose that this is foolishness in me; but behold I say unto you, that by small and simple things are great things brought to pass; and small means in many instances doth confound the wise.
