What a week. We had some really horrible days and we had
some really wonderful days! So, I'll just talk about the good parts. To start
of the week we played a little prank on the Elders. You see, our whole district
is made up of six sisters and two elders, one of which is our district leader
who all the other elders call the Relief Society President. We decided we'd
spice up the district a bit and help Elder Hayter out with not feeling
overwhelmed by all the estrogen. So, with a little scheming and sneaking, we each
ended up with one of either Elder Hayter's or Elder Zavala's ties and put on
our white button downs and showed up to district meeting singing, "Ye
Elders of Israel." You shoulda seen Elder Zavala's face! And with his broken
English accent "HEY those are my ties!" Lelele so funny.
On Saturday morning we had one of the most
fanfreakingtastical lessons with Krista and Travis, our investigators. Last
Sunday they just randomly decided they wanted to go to the Mormon church and
boy oh boy am I grateful for that or what!? So yes, there they were tattooed
and peirced and purple haired sitting in the overflow. They are the sweetest
people in the entire world and they are so sincere in their hearts. They are
just searching for direction in their lives and let me tell ya- they've found
it! Travis' first question for us: Why are there so many churches if there is
only one God? HAVE I GOT THE ANSWER FOR YOU, KID. They agreed to meet with us
and we brought our ward mission leader along Brother Larson and it was just
great. The Spirit was so strong and they were very intrigued by the story of
the Restoration of Christ's church back to the earth. They came to church again
yesterday and we have another lesson with them scheduled for tomorrow night,
it's going to be wonderful talking with them about the Plan of Salvation!
Woohoo I'm psyched!
Then right after the lesson we went downtown to meet all the
other missionaries to do another Zone Blitz and street contact err'body we see.
It was a hit! They first lady we met, Marie, told us that we were angels sent
from heaven and that she couldn't wait to meet with us again haha unfortunately
she's not in our area but that's okay, she'll still be able to learn more :)
Then Sunday. Oh Sunday! It's so weird having 9:30am church
instead of 1pm. I don't even know what to do with myself! haha just kidding but
it is so strange. We had an appointment with a less-active fall through which
left more time before supper to visit other people that we didn't know from the
ward list. We stopped by two people who we had tried to stop by before and this
time were both miraculously at home and willing to talk with us! So that was a
plus! I'm so grateful for the promptings of the Spirit. Even when at the time
it might just feel like a coincidence or random thought or feeling, it never
is. How amazing it is to know that God talks to us individually through the
Holy Ghost.
I love my Savior. I love being his servant.
