So it's Monday again! I never
thought I'd enjoy Mondays quite as much as I do now just because I get to email
y'all! Anyway, let me tell you a little bit about my week!
This week, we got to go on exchanges
with my Sister Training Leaders which was so awesome! I went out with Sister
McHaley (Who is from South Jordan, Utah) and I learned so much! I got a lot of
new tips on how to be the best missionary I can be which was
great! It turns out that we have had some similar experiences that
we've both had to go through toward the beginning of our missions so
she knew exactly how I could improve. We also got to meet a lot of
cool people.
That day, we tracted into this lady
T right before we went out to dinner with a member! T is 26 years old
and pretty much golden. We gave her a Book of Mormon and asked her to read
the Introduction before Sister Craig and I would come back the next day. When
we came back, she told us she read the Intro and the testimonies of Joseph
Smith and the witnesses. We were very impressed so we gave her 2 Nephi 31 to
read, which is all about the Doctrine of Christ. When we came back on Saturday,
she read 2 Nephi 31-33 and she loved it! She said that she felt ripped off
because no one has ever given her the Book of Mormon before. She also thinks
that every religion should study out of it. I was just floored because all of
my investigators have been struggling with keeping their commitments and here's
T, who did what we asked and more! She loves what we teach and we're
planning on meeting her again tomorrow. The only things we need to work on is
her smoking, drinking, and living with her boyfriend... But I know that when
she finds out for herself that the gospel is true, giving all of those things
out will be easy for her!
Also this week was a great food week
for me! I've had a lot of Southern food and I've loved it! Last Monday, some
members gave us cubed steak and macaroni pie and it was the best! Then on
Wednesday, we went out to eat at this seafood restaurant where I had fried
flounder and hushpuppies for the first time! And where have hushpuppies been my
whole life?! Seriously! They are the best! I'm going to go back to that
restaurant again just so I can get those hushpuppies. Oh man. They're so good!
Well that's basically it for this
week! Again it hasn't been all too eventful unfortunately... But I love being a
part of this great work! It's the best! I hope y'all have a great week :)
