29 November 2011 – Harvesting with the Spirit

On the 19th I wrote about Zone Conference and mentioned a program that President started here called ‘Harvesting the Field” where the missionaries offer to come in and leave a blessing on the home. It has been much more successful than just tracting but the missionaries need to be bold and bear testimony if they really want to get in and bless the home. President Anderson taught this and told the missionaries if they would prayerfully and with authority bear testimony of the blessings that the home would receive that people would invite them in.

In this week’s letter from the President he shared a number of experiences that missionaries had written to him. This is just one:

“This last week after Zone Conference, we had District Meeting the next day. We talked a lot about Harvesting with testimony. After District Meeting we went out and Harvested. We used that energy and excitement that we had just learned about and used our testimony as well. The first door that we knocked they let us in and we blessed them. After that we went to another door and they let us in as well. It was really cool. We haven’t seen success with harvesting like this in a long time. The next day we were out harvesting and the first 3 people that talked to us, we were able to bless. And yesterday we went back to one of the houses and they let us teach them and the lesson was really good. We are now teaching the others. We have seen so much success these last 3 days with harvesting. It is so cool to be able to see how open people become when you testify with the spirit.

It really is cool…we are winning!
