Fighting, Murder, and handing out BOM's
Heyyy guys how are you!?! I hope you guys have had a great week!! Its been a little bit of a long one for me haha.
Monday we didn't really do much since we didn't have any money haha. So we had to do laundry and grocery shopping on other days. I got to talk to my family and friends though which is always a good time!
Tuesday we went grocery shopping and taught our friend Raphael. He is still looking for a wife so if anybody knows anyone please send them his way haha. After that lesson we went over to our friend Desmonds house where she fed us, and we watched the Book of Mormon videos. We also played some games at her house which is always the best!!
Wednesday we had a lesson that morning over the phone. It was kind of different because we usually always like to do them in person so that we can get to know them better. Later we did some laundry where a miracle happened! One of the guys at the laundromat came up to us and asked if we were missionaries. We told them we were, and he told us that he was being taught by some sisters 6 months ago and wanted to be taught again!! So that is amazing!!! After laundry we literally had the best lesson teaching Victoria and Ken. That Spirit was there, and there was no denying it!
Thursday we had a couple of lessons scheduled and only 1 followed through. The lesson with our friend Sean was so good. He was so sweet, and bought us pizza with some Dr Pepper! Sean is so invested in this gospel and is wanting to continue to learn more. He is going to the south side of Houston Texas for a little bit which is part of my cousin Aubree's mission! So go find him Aubree and teach him some more haha! He told us he was going to hangout with his family but that he was going to find our church down there and attend which is amazing!
Friday was pretty good! We drove to Middlebury which felt like the longest drive ever! But District Council was great! We had to teach the training which was dumb but the rest of it was pretty dang fun hahaha. After district council we were headed home when our google maps took us down some road that wasn't even a road. It literally told us to go up someones drive way and to go into the woods to drive in a circle on a four wheeler road. It was the craziest thing ever. And it was kind of sketchy. We saw a lot of hobo tents out there which made us nervous. As soon as we got out of it we drove as fast as we could to get home.
Saturday was Creemee day!!! I finally took her to LegenDairy. That is the best creemee spot to go if you ever come to Vermont!! Honestly it will make you forget about any other ice cream there is haha. After that we went to the church to just hangout for a minute, and to do facebook work. Later, we had a lesson with 2 of our new members and one of them confessed to us that he beats people up sometimes. We told him he didn't need to confess to us, but then he asked "Well what if I murdered someone?" And my jaw dropped. He then left the lesson because he was going to find the guy he fought to give him a Book of Mormon haha. He ended up not finding him so that was good!
Sunday was flipping awesome. We had an amazing lesson for sunday school and then got invited to a party at a members house after church. So later that night we went to their German party where they had all kinds of German food and they were dressed like German people. I love doing member work and I love getting to know them!!
Anyways....
Be grateful for everything, follow the first prompting, pay attention to the little things, pray always, and remember HE loves you and remember to love each other!!
