My Love for Ford Raptors Led Us to an Investigator.. Who Would Have Guessed...(:

         Last week Sister Spring and I had a fun experience.(: We were headed home from a preparation
day activity and as we are driving along the road I looked to the left and saw a Ford Raptor on display at car dealership. For those who know me well I kind of have a thing for The Ford Raptor. I looked at Sister Spring with my eye set on the prize and said, "Sister Spring get in the left lane we MUST go take a picture with the Ford Raptor!!!" She thought I was crazy but I was thankful because she agreed. As we pulled into the lot we quickly made our way to the front where it was on display. I got out of the car and started walking up the rocks when I noticed a sales man coming toward us. My first thoughts were, "Oh boY he is probably not happy with us.." As he walked over I expressed to him that the truck behind me was one of my favorites and asked if I could take a picture. He kindly said I could and then saw my tag. Now when people see the tag it's really a do or die. They want to talk or ... they want to get rid of you as fast as possible. To my surprise he said, "Oh your missionaries! I'm currently investigating the church." At this point I thought I was in a dream.... because we came here to take a picture with the Ford Raptor and here we have... an investigator. He asked us many questions and said he just wasn't getting it.. we asked him if he had been reading the Book of Mormon and going to church. He looked away and said the missionaries said I should be but I haven't. We shared our testimonies and expressed that it's easier to know the truth of things when we actually try them out. For example Faith without Works is dead. By the end Sister Spring and I as well as Patrick were all spiritually uplifted and I got a picture with the truck. It turned out to be a Predator and not a Raptor but hey I wasn't complaining by the end of that Miracle!(: I know thaqt Heavenly Father truly takes who we are and our interests and puts them to good use. It's because we are His sons and daughters and he knows us personally! What a great experience! I love my mission and I would not trade it for anything! Well there you have it ..the story of how my love for Ford Raptors brought us to an investigator, Pretty neat if you ask me(:
