Traveling to my grandparents home from the temple yesterday, my grandpa Dave mentioned that the older he gets, the easier it becomes for him to start talking about the gospel with all sorts of people. He said he views it as planting seeds in their hearts so that one day, they might accept the church more easily. My excitement grew as I realized what a great missionary he is.
In relief society today my nana turned around and struck up a little conversation with a lady who isn't a a member. (She has a deal with her husband who is a member that if he goes to her church one week, she'll go to his the next.) Nana was so sweet, introduced herself and told her how happy we were to have her there with us. I don't know why, but I was blown away by her simple and kind welcome to this woman. Seriously, my mouth nearly dropped open haha. It hit me then what a fantastic missionary my nana was!
Then this evening at dinner, my grandma Edna and grandpa Donn brought up their lovely Chinese exchange student Jessie who had just recently been baptized! It was though their example and lifestyle that she became curious about the church, and they were able to assist her in the conversion process as she took lessons form the missionaries. It humbled me to know what amazing missionaries they are.
I look up to all my grandparents very much. Yay for member missionaries who engrave this calling on their hearts.
