Hello everyone!
This week passed so fast! I swear, it was Monday night and then I blinked (which sometimes takes longer because my contacts dry out, but not much longer) and now it is Monday again!
Monday night we recorded a video, Mckinnon, Hna. Harris and I. It was really fun. Elder Mckinnon is getting transferred and I am sad, because he's pretty cool, so we took some pics. I feel like his mission mom, I kept telling him to make sure he buckles up and wears his sweater because it's gonna get cold.
On Tuesday we had a lesson with Jash and he is doing alright. Then, the elders told me my dress looks like a picnic blanket and asked me to lay on the grass to look the part, pictures included.
Tuesday night we had a lesson with Tye, who was a referral and she is so cool!! We told her about the Book of Mormon and she started getting really excited and said "can you come over to my house and teach me about your Book of Mormans!" We went over last night and she loved everything we taught her! We have to give her to the sisters there in the family ward because she isn't YSA, so currently our teaching pool is back to 2 people.
On Wednesday and Thursday Hna. Seitz and I gave the same training at district councils 5 times!! It was about member missionary work and I had written a song called "50 ways to work with members" and each time we thought it was so funny, and each time everyone just stared at us. It was a well written song though, I promise.
We are having lessons with Jash almost every day, and Saturday night we call him and he says "so I believe the Book of Mormon is true, and I know this is God's true church, but my friend is teaching me about Islam, and I've been reading the Koran and I'm just really open minded to it. Its really interesting." So that's great. We tried to tell him that if he believes the Book of Mormon is true, then this must be the true church, but he didn't get that.
We are worried about him, but I talked to president and he said "some people struggle in the church or out of the church, but they are still children of God, so it's better to struggle in the church.” And, if that ain't the truth I don't know what is. We all struggle, and it's better to struggle with the truth than without it.
We texted a man named Latre, because we had this awesome lesson then we haven't been able to get ahold of him. Well, he texts us and all he says is “unsubscribe." It was really sad, but also really funny.
On Friday we also had dinner and a lesson with Donna and it went so good! She is so cute and we talked all about repentance. Donna is a member in another ward who wants to come back, but wanted sister missionaries to help her! So, we get too! We've been meeting with her for about a month now and she is darling! She wanted to make us dinner this week and we also sent her a chapter to read and she called us to share all her insights and ask us questions about it! She is so awesome!
We ran into Jenni, our basher friend last Monday, and she was so excited to see us! She really is the nicest basher I've ever met! We also had a member at church who asked us "who was that blonde girl you brought to church 3 weeks ago, because if you need help teaching her, I promise I will take a special interest in fellow shipping..." then he kept coming back and reminding us to put his name down so the next missionaries don't forget to take him. It was so funny.
So, I didn't fall off my bike, but while at a stop light, my bike fell on me, there is a scar. It did almost break my basket, which is a high commodity here, everyone wants it, but I fixed it.
I gave a talk yesterday about sheep, and how we all need to work to gather them into the fold, and it was so funny. I wanted to wing it, but Sister Dixon told me to prepare, because when I try to wing talks they go terrible. This one did not go terribly, and I get really excited about the work of the Lord and was later described as "engaging" and "energetic" which are 2 great things considering I was telling everyone how they have to be like sheep.
I love you all! Have a great week!
