read it previously and want to know ☺️
Every Tuesday our district does district finding. We either go to Long
Eaton (our area), Beeston, (The elders area) or Nottingham City
Centre, (ZLs area). This particular week we were due to go into
Nottingham, as we had gone into Long Eaton the week prior. But, elder
williams had a prompting that we needed to be in Long Eaton, so that
is what we did.
Sister Bacchus and I were street contacting in town and right before
we were about to stop a random guy, we heard someone yell behind us
"where's Jesus when you need him??" So we quickly flipped around and
said "we can tell you!!!!" He had no idea we were missionaries and
said "did i just say that out loud???" He was obviously very drunk. We
talked for about 30 minutes and make an appointment with him to meet
the following day.
The next day we taught him the gospel of jesus christ and put him on a
baptismal date!!! Every lesson we taught him up to word of wisdom he
had a drink in his hand. Once we introduced the word of wisdom he
threw his drink away and hasn't had any alcohol since! The first day
we met he had really long curly hair and a beard... now he is all
clean cut and even bought a suit for church. Members gave him white
shirts and ties at church on sunday too. Everyone has taken him in. He
has lost his entire family and now refers to all the members as his
family!!!
"Because of the love and the grace of the saviour, we do not have to
be what we have been." The atonement has given Dean hope, light, and a
new beginning. He glows!!!! His life will never be the same. I am so
happy for him.
