We're like the USPS... nothing can stop us!

One night, it was about 4 degrees out. (Yes, for all you southerners, that is well below freezing!) We all went out Door-to-door witnessing. This turned into one of the most memorable nights here in Colorado Springs. The apartment complex that we went to was indoors, meaning you entered the building and the doors to the apartments were along a hallway. That is what we thought at the beginning. It turns out that two of the buildings Bill and I were to knock on were outside!! It wasn't freezing out, it was very much below. Bill and I were not going to be stopped. Thinking that all the buildings were inside, we started with the indoor one. This building was incredible. We got every response you could imagine. Half way through, I commented to Bill that if I were to make a movie about Way Disciple, I would include a door-to-door montage. That montage would consist of every door we had just knocked on. I even started singing the soundtrack. lol. It sounded something like carnival music... or a carousel. It is really hard to accurately depict the strangeness. One lady wouldn't open her door because she wasn't wearing any clothes, another lady asked Bill and I if we were "partners" (we explained that we were sent here together on a team, but we were not romantically involved). lol To this day, I don't know what she was getting at. It was strange. The thing about indoor apartment complexes, is that the doors are really thin. We could here the tvs and the babies crying. Such a strange night. Our efforts, however, were not returned void. We got a contact in one of the outside buildings! Also, we got to pray for another lady in one of those outside buildings. What I learned: You have to believe to get the best out of each situation. Believe that God is working in your leadership to put you in the right place at the right time! Even if the senses tell you it isn't right (I'd say that 4 degrees, not windchill, but actual temperature, wouldn't seem right.) To be in the right place at the right time to minister God's word to people is awesome. It was a strange, but very rewarding night!!
