Hello Everyone,
Such a great week. I sent Garcia home... kinda… she got on a bus
and left me in Abaline with Sisters Mauina and Bresnahan! We had a lot of fun!
They work in a YSA area as well. Sad thing is.. they don't get to proselyte on
campus. That stinks! Sister Heaton came down on Wednesday around 4 in the
afternoon and we just set goal and made plans! We have such great hopes for the
area. We have been working hard.
On Thursday we biked around the 1st South area and
just talked to people. We were able to give them 4 new potentials. Funny
story of that day: So we are biking around and we see some poor people
with toilet paper in their tree. So I say, "Sister, wanna do some service?
Let’s clean that up!" So we do! We are laughing! She climbs a tree in her
skirt and all of the sudden we hear..."Glad to see y’all are wearing
clothes this time!” .......................................................................................................................
..............................................WHAT?!?!?! We look
all confused. We go talk to him and say we are missionaries from The Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. We were just biking around and saw that your
neighbors got toilet papered, so we thought we would help them out…... He said,
"Oh! Well, last night girls were running all around naked, so I thought
that was you...... We made it clear that that was NOT us :) So that was fun!
Friday night we were talking to our District Leader and his
parting words were, “Spread the Spirit flu#.” So that was our theme! We have talked
to so many people. We were on campus all day Saturday! It was awesome. We
talked to many people and set up 3 return appointments. Sadly, they used their
agency poorly and punched on us. But, I know Heavenly Father will bless us for
our efforts and we will see amazing things happen.
We keep fasting and praying, just like the Book of Mormon says,
and great things will come!
CTR Always
