I cant believe its been another week and we are 2 weeks from transfers! This week has been full of funny moments and miracles. Okay where do I begin....
We had exchanges this week and crazy things happen, I was on exchanges with Sister Simkins who is amazing and I love and learn so much from her. We went out contacting and was knocking this street which we now call "CRAZY STREET" and here is why, We went to this one door and this old man answered the door. He was also hiding behind the door and we didn't really know why? We started to give him our message and he interrupts and said this isn't a really good time I was just about to get in the shower....(WAIT FOR IT) then he proceeds to slowly come out behind the door and he was NAKED! yes we looked away before we saw anything and walked away. I think that is all I'm going to tell you about this street. HAHA the next one was just a weird encounter, but never a dull moment on exchanges. There was also many miracles one being that Sister Simkins use to serve in this area and was aware of people i had no idea about and so we went and saw some of them and now we are teaching Bobby! He is awesome and dating a member that has been less active but wants to come back. They are the sweetest and I just love them so much.
Yesterday was a very eventful day:) we had morning shift and it had been so slow! But then in comes DAVID ARCHULETA! (i don't think i spelled that right but who cares I took him on a tour). It was so funny because Sister Ireland had no idea who he was until over half way through the tour. I played it off really well basically acted like I had no idea who he was just like every other tour... until the end and then I asked for a picture:) super cool experience and he had really good input,
Then after I was getting over what happened and how cool that was I hear someone come in and then I hear "she's going to freak" and I turned to see and its the MADDOX FAMILY oh I love them so much and I bear hugged my Makayla! oh man I love that family so much! It was so special to take them on a tour and to feel of their sweet spirits.
After shift we had a lesson with Bobby and it went really well. He really wants to learn more and him and Paige (less active) are going to be getting married! so excited:) after the lesson we went out and tracked.
Tracking has been really hard lately because everyone has been getting mad at us from 8-9 pm because of how late it is. Actually one of the Sisters got the cops called on her:( haha kinda funny). Anyways we knocked a few doors but nothing and everyone's houses were dark and I was honestly feeling like whats the point. But Inside i knew that I had to be out till nine. So I told myself I would just drive until I saw a house with a light on and we did. And we found Donny @8:59 and he is one of the elect. Seriously he was so open to learning more and was really into the conversation. He said that he has been looking for the right church and he described the church that he wants to find and he basically described our church and he and his wife just had a little girl and his friend just died.... seriously Heavenly Father placed him right in our laps. It was so amazing to be able to testify to him about the restoration and bits of the plan of salvation. We are going to see him on Sunday and he asked if he could come to church with us!
I learned a lesson last night that one Heavenly Father rewards his children that put forth faith and action. I also learned that my faith has more room to grow. I need to have faith that each door I knock there is someone on the other side waiting for us. I love being a missionary and the lessons I am learning and the person I am becoming. I cant wait for the many more learning opportunities ahead and the experiences Heavenly Father has planned for me. I have learned that Heavenly Father already has a plan for my mission and the people that are waiting.
I love you all so much and please email me and let me know if there is anything I can do for you:) Thanks for all of your love and support!❤
