Hello everyone!
This week was pretty good, but also pretty boring, so i may mix in some lies, and you will have to guess which is truth and which is a falsehood.
On Monday we made a video for the zone page, and you guys should PLEASE PLEASE go like our zone fb page because we need more likes. It's called "Followers of Jesus Christ in Dallas." the Elders are over it, but I do all the background work and it's really cute. Please just like, comment, and share stuff, we need more people.
On Tuesday was District Council and Hna. Moorhead's birthday so she wanted to go to Barnes and Noble for our lunch hour. It was so fun and I really miss books. Trying to talk to people I asked a girl about her books she was holding and I ended up asking her if I could read the back of it and I put it on my list. I definitely miss books, so that was way fun!
We had a facebook training this week about how to "make your content look so good everyone wants to get baptized!" So watch out because all my pictures are going to follow the rule of thirds and all my captions will have correct punctuation?
We got dropped 4 times in 24 hours. So, we aren't teaching a lot of people in the first place, and then our 4 people we were most excited about told us they aren't interested, or tried to convert us to the Catholic Church.
We are still working with Jacob, and it was so cool because he came to church this week!!! He just won't take that leap of faith to get batpzied, but we think he will get closer in the next few weeks!!
Good news: we no longer sleep on the floor! We got moved into our new apartment, and we have beds and we can take our stuff out of our suitcase, and WOW we are so blessed. We live with a different set of sisters, Sister Perkinson and Sister Harris, and they are so fun! It's been good!
On Friday to Saturday we went on exchanges with Christiansen and Johnson and I went with Sister Christiansen to the Spanish area. I still don't know Spanish. But, I got to bike!! It was the highlight of my week!! I was really nervous, rightly so because wow, Sister C took off so fast and I was like 2 stop lights behind her, just cruisin, but it was SO MUCH FUN!!! Wow I loved it, and I could wave at everyone and I thought people were being nice to me, but a few tried to drive me off this busy road, and one guy tried to get me to stop and give him kisses. But I just yelled at him "No SPANISH” Then, he pulled out AGAIN and tried to get both me and Christiansen to stop and i just yelled at him to go away and we biked away. I loved it. And at the lessons I had 0 idea what was going on, but Sister Christiansen tried to teach me to testify in Spanish, but it didn't go well, and so she just translated for me. haha.
Saturday night, Sister Snoop and I were really sad that we had no people to teach and no one was progressing so we fasted yesterday to find people, and yesterday our good friend Emily brought 3 friends to church, and Jacob came!! it was incredible, and one of Emily's friends had already been taught by us last week and was kinda hesitant, one was uninterested, and had knocked out our other interested guy so he couldn't' come to church, but her friend Jessica was interested and we are going to teach her tonight!! We are so excited! Fasting is real!
I have been reading in D&C this week and it is so good. I feel like sections 121-128 are perfect pump up chapters. In section 123: 16 it says
" You know, brethren, that a very large ship is benefited very much by a very small helm in the time of a storm, by being kept workways with the wind and the waves."
HOW COOL IS THAT?? We are the small helm, and as we are pointed in the right direction, we can help turn the ship to where it needs to be! Our actions are not wasted, and our good works are not for nothing, we may not see the results now, but a large ships is benefited by a small helm. BE GOOD, SHARE GOOD, DO GOOD!!
I LOVE Y'ALL!
