{Day 4} "We're all set"

The reason why I knock doors is because, honestly, I'm happy and I want to share it. Today we invited tons of people to hear our message about the gospel of Jesus Christ.  In response, we mostly heard this phrase:  "We're all set."
Life to me is like running a race.  While on my mission, I have found that I love running.  I never knew this before, but I had a teaching companion who loved to run and her enthusiasm rubbed off on me.  She gave me the inspiration to run beyond when I thought I was all set.  
She encouraged me as I keep running that my time, length, and endurance will improve until I can accomplish great things.  My potential is limitless and I always have room to progress.  But what if I thought I was all set at 3 miles?  I would never know the joy of accomplishing a marathon.  I would not know the potential my mind and body has to endure. 
What makes our message unique is that the gospel of Jesus Christ allows us to progress and come closer to Him.  It allows us to go far beyond our limitations.  I'm glad to know that I am not all set, but that I can become better and grow closer to my Savior.
