I did something last night I never thought I was EVER going to do in my life...EVER. I went tracting with the Sister Missionaries. We went on splits so I went with Sister Harris and we actually went and just knocked on people's doors on a random street for about an hour and a half. Can I just say... I WAS TERRIFIED! I have never just walked up to a random person and started bearing my testimony. It was really hard for me. I can't believe I actually went. All the people we talked to were really nice, but it was insanely awkward. I just stood there beside Sis. Harris and didn't really say anything... But I did realize that if I did go on a mission, I could probably get tracting down if I had the practice and if I had enough time to really work out how to talk to people and know what to say. Buuuuuuuut I am not a missionary, nor do I have time in my life to really figure out how to randomly bear my testimony to people. I'm definitely working on it with my co-workers though. When I started working at Bradz people would ask me questions and I would mumble some stupid answer and try to walk away. My testimony has grown so much since moving to Austin, and so has my confidence in talking about the Gospel. It's pretty awesome if you think about it. I do enjoy living out in the "mission field" immensly.
