Update: S. is MIA!!!!! WHAT!?!?
We taught her the law of chastity...which she wasn't too thrilled about. Now
she has avoided us all week and we haven't heard from her...:(
M. came to church on Sunday!!!
FINALLY!!! It was such a beautiful day!! Ah, I was so excited! He only came to
Sacrament Meeting, but still it was so great to finally have him come when he
has been promising us he'd come for a while.
Things haven't really happened much
with J. B. since our first visit. We are planning on seeing her today, so
hopefully she doesn't reschedule on us again!!!
Then there is Miss D.! She bore
her testimony is church and I nearly bawled. She is infamous for her “gander
rant”, and due to her attendance at other churches throughout her life, she is
also prone to preaching some pretty false doctrine. It was fast Sunday, and she
says, "Can a nonmember do it too?" A shot of pure fear runs through
me as I Freak out!!! We talk to her about the amount of time a testimony should
be, and tell her to talk about her love of Christ. She was perfect!! Up and down in three minutes. D.
thanked those who had fellowshipped her, talked about how she will be a member
once she can quit smoking, and how she loves how she feels in the church.
AHH!!! It was like it was my own kid up there, and I couldn't have been more
proud of her!
This week was crazy! We had 13
appointments cancel on us. Lame, right? So that resulted in DOOR KNOCKING. (Once
again I would be fully lying if I said I liked door knocking for even one
minute. This is where I have to have faith that President truly knows what's
best, and I have to believe he does). We door knocked for so many hours, and
now have 22 people who are interested in learning more. So that was pretty
cool! We knocked on a female Methodist pastor’s door, who talked to us about
religion for a while. As we were talking, a hospital helicopter flew over our
heads. She asked if we could say a prayer, so she held our hands and we prayed
for those in the helicopter. That was a new experience!
Funniest thing that happened to me
this week?... First of all, WHY AM I SOOOOO AWKWARD!?! Haha Oh my gosh!!! Pre-note:
I was wearing a longer skirt, which comes to mid-calf. So, we door
knocked into a kid (16) who is pretty interested in learning more about the
gospel. We ask if we could get his information, and as we did, he leaves to go
find something. He leaves us at the door standing in front of his BIG puppy. (It's
one of those police dogs who are brown and black?) This puppy is super excited
to see us, and he starts to weave around us. As he weaves around me, his face
GETS STUCK IN MY SKIRT!!! OH MY GOSH I LAUGHED SO HARD!!! But wait, there's
more!! So the kid comes back and his puppy is in my skirt (I am shaking as I
type this because I am laughing so hard. A guy next to me just asked if I was
ok, and then we just had a discussion about the gospel for the win!) Anyway,
the kid comes back, and then the puppy BITES MY SKIRT AND STARTS PLAYING TUG OF
WAR WITH MY SKIRT!!! AHAHAH!!!! Oh my gosh, I was fighting a puppy in the name
of humanity!! It was SOO FUNNY!!! But we got a return appointment, so….
Missionaries- 1, Stella the Puppy- 5.
The weather here changes only about
once every...hour. You never know! Some days can be FREEZING, and the next day
will be HUMID and SO Hot. Overall, I like it because I can wear every season of
my clothes :)
We are all doing pretty well! I am
learning so much, and am praying to LOVE the work! Thank you for the letters
and the package this week! They are all very appreciated and loved! I hope you
have a wonderful week!!!
