BEST WEEK EVER

WHAT AN AMAZING WEEK!!!

 

We have really seen the blessings of God hastening his work this week.

 

So i cant wait till the end of my letter because I'm so excited about this but we found 8 new investigators to teach this week! and we started teaching an old investigator again, and found an investigator for the Spanish missionaries and we've been teaching an investigators Dad because he sits in on the lessons and came to church but hasn't agreed to actually take the lessons yet! So basically miracles happened! Wooo!!!!

 

SO i just go through some highlights of other funny/ awesome things that happened this week.

 

Tuesday: We found 2 new investigators that day and started teaching Susan's husband again. That was really cool, but in one of our lessons our new investigator (Adrian) was being super weird and wouldn't let us inside so we taught outside and me and Sister Davis wanted to sit down so i sat on this bench and sister Davis sat on the ground, and we were hoping that Adrian would sit down on the bench or ground but then he didn't and just stood and it ended up being really awkward haha but oh well.

 

Wednesday: We found 2 more new investigators! Im really excited about these to girls because thier mom is a less active member and she wants to come back. So we started teaching them and we set baptismal dates with the girls for march 1st and they are both really excited for that! YAY! OH also we had someone call us on accident this week and so we called them back and they told us they just dialed wrong but sister Davis just said " well..here's a question for you...Were missionaries....." and bacially she set up a lesson over the phone! Shes a Rock star!

 

Thursday: We had missionary leadership council. Which essentially is a super boring meeting geared toward Zone leaders that Sister Training Leaders are just supposed to come to. And the whole time the sisters just sat and chatted and passed notes, it was actually pretty fun. Oh and at lunch sister Davis opened a pudding cup and the lid had a big smiley face and she was all excited and later said "my chocolate pudding smiled at me today" It was funny. We also got to go for dinner at Olive garden with another companionship of sister that were at the meeting too and a member  paid for it!

 

Friday: We had a bunch of meetings again to help zone leaders in other zones know that to do to help their sisters. We did have a funny conversation with a VERY less active member. He kept asking about the "Mormon bible" and "holy underwear" and ended with saying he wanted bible studies....So we passed him off to some YSA elders :)

 

Saturday: We went on exchanges....They were ROUGH. The missionaries we went with were definitely not diligent missionaries to put it nicely.. We we first went to their house to switch, we found a HUGE prank in their room. They had gotten in a prank war with someone (they wouldn't say who) and their room was filled from wall to wall with sand and a kiddie pool. Which yes is super cool/funny. But the members they live with had been cleaning it for like 5 hours and we had to help too. Ill send some pictures of us mid cleaning.  There were lots of other problems but i wont go into that..

I found a really cool family though, we were walking to the car and there were 2 guys playing super loud music and washing cars and so went over to talk to them and gave our little intro about how we are missionaries and they said they had taken the lessons before and that they had almost gotten baptized but unexpectedly moved to the desert and didn't know where the church was! That was 2 years ago but we set up an appointment for tonight and he told me  "who knows! maybe this time ill actually get baptized!" it was so awesome!

Also, when we went to go to another lesson with our investigator Adrian he asked if we could "Hoodwalk" for our lesson that day.. may you know what that means...but i did not. He laughed and explained that is just meant walking in the neighborhood and so we had a lesson where we all held book of Mormons and walked around the neighborhood reading them. It was actually awesome! He really started to understand the book of Mormon and how to read it.

 

Sunday: 3 investigators at church! and like 8 non-members! it was a great day at church. After church was good too because we went straight to a potentials and taught him on his door step and he was pretty excited about the book of Mormon! so another new investigator! and then that night we taught a less active woman and her 3 daughters and it went really well. They've had the lessons before and were almost baptized but said the timing wasn't right. So who knows maybe it will happen this time!

 

SO basically it was a miracle week! it was so awesome to see how the Lord is preparing people for us to teach, we just need to find them :)

 

i Love you all and miss you so much...

Sorry this is so long...
