The Gardner

So the other day we had a nice day planned out and we were punted (meaning no one let us teach them) at basically every appointment!  It was awesome!  No, really it wasn't to bad.  Since we had no appointments we did what we do best, street contacted.  We met this man who knew a member, I had know idea who the member was so we decided to contact him.  It turns out he is a less active, I love meeting less actives. They know who we are and they know the lessons.  So after that we were back to finding.  My feet hurt SO bad at the end of that day.  Holy cow I thought they were going to fall off!  We only had four appointments.  Days like that can be rough and can feel very....unproductive.  Then I remembered how sometimes we need to be the Gardner.  Before the Gardner can pick his crop he must plant the seeds!  So one day he will go out and plant and plant his crops, that's all he does all day.  At the end of the day did he accomplish anything?  You bet he did!  His crops are now planted, so even though our efforts may seem useless at times they aren't.  It may be someone else's job to care for the garden or to harvest.  We all have a part in this work. So let's get to work!
