Busy Week!

Well I officially have a year of missionary work left to do. And this week was super busy but good.

 

Tuesday- And it rained rained rained. My companion and I got caught in the rain. Then my bad broke :/ so we called the other sisters to find out where goodwill is. But they came over and got us so we got a new bag. Afterwards we came back and its pouring so we were sitting in the car waiting a little bit when this guy came to the car and he told us hes a member in my ward and we put their bikes in their garage and the sisters took us to our dinner appointment.  Afterwards we saw this lady named Tanya and her 3 girls. Tanya has a lot of health problems going on and in their last ward the ward wasn't nice to them. the elders gave one of the girls some ties and she started to wear them to church and people told their daughters not to talk to her. And so they have a hard time going to church. And the member we had with us with inactive for 25 years and told them her story and told them to not make the same mistake. it was a very powerful lesson. Afterwards we saw a recent convert on 3 years named leah. And leah has been hearing a lot of anti Mormon stuff lately so weve been working with her to keep her testimony cause she's struggling with it.

 

Wednesday- We saw a less active named Silvia. Shes seriously one of the craziest people I have ever met. I very much believe what elder Morris told me. Missionaries attract the weirdest people. Silvia doesn't take us being there serious at all, but shes really funny. We then helped a lady in our ward move. Were really sad she was like a mission mom to us. She always made our food requests and was always doing so much for us. Later that night we met with Erin the girl I told about last week. She asked us if she could get baptized!!!!!!!!! We told her yes. She then told us she looked up the requirements for baptism and she said she will quit coffee, and listen to music that is uplifting and everything else it takes to be lds. It was amazing.

 

Thursday- We saw a lady named Sherry and she has all these wild birds its really cool. I got to hold a dove :). We talked about having trust in god to help us in times of need. Later we saw a lady named Sister Puma she takes us coming over as social hour and not a time to learn so we sadly have to drop her and hand her over to the ward. We then saw a guy named Jimmy. He was baptized when he was little but due to things he hasn't been back since he has a huge heart and we are continuing to work with him.

 

Friday- We had an awesome district meeting about working with those that are in actual need of us. Later that night we saw erin again. We taught her the 1st vision and afterwards we asked her if she would get baptized on October 26 and she said YES!!!!!!!! She jumped up and down and told her parents and they wrote it on their calendar. So ERIN IS GETTING BAPTIZED!!!!!

 

Saturday-  We saw a less active named angela. She hasn't been active in years and shes struggeling big time. She has a handicape son that just had surgery, she works full time, shes getting divorced, and she got robbed its really sad so we talked about god with her. Afterward we saw Silvia AGAIN... shes super funny and never fails to not make me laugh. Then we saw this crazy black lady named Betty who was mad cause we couldn't stay for over an hour... her daughters walk around the house shirtless and we were there for like an hour while we listened to her talk about tattoos and how beautiful they are... enough said about her. Later that night we had a ward pizza party and talent show Silvia and her roommate whose less active came and Erin and her parents came. We left before the talent show so we could stick to mission rules but we heard it was really good.

 

Sunday- Erin sadly didn't come to church :( But Sherry, silvia and ed all came to church after a very long time :) Then we took a girl in the mission prep class tracting one guy came out with a knife!!!!!! but then we saw a potatoe afterwards so phew. Then 4 people told us to come back which was awesome. We then went out with our ward mission leader and his wife we ran into a really scary dog, and 2 people screaming and hitting each other. (note to self don't go to that area at night) But we did see a potential investigator her kids were home and they said their mom was in the hospital so we gave them our phone number to call us so I call that a miracle that we came at that time. And that was our week Love you all
