Elder Snickers and I upon arriving started calling all the members that we could to find someone with a snow blower because literally.. couldn't see the doors because of how high the snow was and our snow blower is in the shop getting fixed. Turns out nobody in our ward had one so we went to plan B, which was lets start shoveling.
After about an hour we had moved a foot our two and threw in the towel for plan B. Plan C, lets go knocking and ask for snow blowers haha.. crazy idea yes.. So we said a prayer, explaining our situation with our church not meeting fire code and having no way of getting inside and asking specifically for the miracle of someone lending two young guys dressed in black their snow blower. The third house we knocked, a lady answered and immediately said, "no no no we don't have time" but we said, we are very sorry, we come from the church right there, and pointed at it and explained the situation, she then called her husband over who then let us use his "Cadillac of all snow blowers." That was the first miracle. It took three hours to get rid of the snow mountains. The next miracle happened the next day when we were told "you missed a door" so we searched for the missing door and found it. You could see about three inches of the top of it because the snow completely covered it. We went immediately to our previous savior who lent us his snow blower but he wasn't there.. so we repeated the steps we did earlier, praying specifically and explaining the situation, then acting and not waiting for a snow blower to appear.
The next house we knocked almost the same reaction, starting with the "no no no not interested" and ending with the guy opening his garage and us borrowing a snow blower for another three hours. We spent around six hours trying to get rid of the snow in two days! Crazy Canada. So my message for you all this week is as James says, faith with our works is dead. So pray with faith and then work for the answer! Ask and you shall receive! Dieppe is the promised LAND! My new address:
