TALK TO EVERYONE

...after we tried to visit an inactive, but he wasn't home so as we were walking back out of his driveway, we noticed a man, across the street throwing something away in the garbage can and as he walked back to his house and was almost at his door, I had a brief thought ( as I was considering talking to him ) nah, I will have to call after him to stop him before I could reach him in time to talk with him...but WORDS JUST CAME OUT OF MY MOUTH. I yelled," Hello, how are you?" He stopped and turned to us and we met him and started to talk with him. He said," This is crazy...I've been thinking of going to church the last couple of weeks. My neighbor has been inviting me to go, but I haven't yet." I shared with him a scripture in 3Nephi18 of how Christ told us to go to church, repent and be baptized and pray unto the Father in His name. He asked about prayer.He said," How do you pray?" We taught him how to pray. He mentioned he hasn't been baptized yet," but I am just making baby steps right now." We talked with him about "small and simple things" with him. It was really cool !
