I absolutely love being a missionary. I seriously wake up every day in awe that I really am out here. It is such a dream come true and I am SOOOOOO grateful!!!!!! We meet so many people each day and I love it! We do a lot of finding right now and we try to get referrals from everyone we talk to because I don't know if I mentioned this but they didn't have sisters in the Glen hills ward for a while so we don't have a whole lot to go off of. It's kind of like a white wash in a sense. It's good though, the ward is so helpful and they love to be a part of missionary work which is great! We have been finding a lot of people but this one in particular we talked to one day and she was super nice and seemed totally elect. And her experiences were a lot like joseph smiths so we definitely thought sharjng the restoration with her would be perfect but she was leaving to Lowe's when we met her so she was busy, and then when we went back and tried to share a message with her she told us she wasn't interested. We got that a couple of times this week. But I don't ever get discouraged because I know God has a plan for us. This week we met these 3 girls that live with their grandma and they were talking with us about how they church hop and we talked to them about our church and they were way excited and we left them each with a book of mormon, and then we called a few days later and they told us their grandma said they couldn't talk to us anymore because of things she's heard about Mormons. We constantly get weird comments that we have to clarify. We did meet the cutest girl at village Inn this week though, she was our waitress and we talked to her about missionary work and what we do and how we leave our family for 18 months and she was so astonished, she just kept saying things like wow you'd have to be so strong to be able to do that and we pulled out a book of mormon and she kind of gasped and just said Wow, it's beautiful. And she is so excited to learn more! We are going back to village Inn this Wednesday
Fun facts:
♡we went to a house that had a string for a door knob
♡our investigator Steven has a gorilla statue in his yard(so naturally I took a selfie with it
)
♡Steven also has a bunch of other really random things in his yard like bowling balls, Christmas lights, a bed, and many more things
♡I take way short showers now! They range from 8-13 minutes( impressive right?)
♡The other day we went to an investigators house and he opens the door and was like I was just getting in the shower, so he had a blanket wrapped around him because I'm pretty sure he was naked! ( who opens their front door naked!?
)
♡For dinner at a members house the other night we had chilli dogs and my companion had never had those before! I don't think she has even still, I'm pretty sure she just ate a bowl of chilli.
♡Stake conference was this Sunday and it was really good, I love listening to our mission president and his wife speak, they are the greatest!
♡So either our upstairs neighbors smoke pot, or they have a pet skunk that sprays into the bathroom vent
♡The weather here is super crazy, it's been like 80 degrees most days that I've been here! But the last two days have been cold and crazy windy.
♡The other night My nose got so cold while we were knocking doors ( not for very long either) that it was numb and I couldn't move it.
{{Its a great day to save lives}}
