Hey guys....
GREAT WEEK!!!!!!!!!
First of all.. Duh, got over the hump. On the down slide. That is weird.... I am still trying to comprehend it all. It is definitely true what everyone says though, "minutes are slow, days are fast, days are slow years are fast....." Fast now that I am looking back on it :)
So i haven't gotten to burn my shirt for my one year mark... yet. I think We might have a little bit of time tonight. We don't know yet. I colored all over the shirt with a sharpie, so i will take some pictures and fill ya in ... I suck at taking pictures. Dana wore me out of it when I was at home. Now I am done with it...
This week has been such a good one...
Tuesday we were really busy, got a referral that we hopefully will be teaching tomorrow... and had a way good dinner and dessert....
Wednesday we were way busy. Taught several less actives that continue to improve.. did a ton of service..
Thursday Was our slower day.. But still good..
Friday. Awesome. I got to do a baptismal interview with an investigator of a companionship in my district to be baptized on Saturday. It was so spiritual. This girl was more than ready.. It was awesome.
Saturday. We had a way full day. Two ward parties and the baptism for the other companionship..
For the ward party, We were doing a "trunk r treat" There was a ton of non members invited and came to both. It was awesome. The first one was at 1. We were going to buy sheets and turn our Chevy malibu into the chevy maliboo... a ghost. I know, it was legit. We didnt dress up, because our ideas were terrible.... hahah.
But the baptism was soooooooooo awesome. It was a foster girl and her real mom came and was crying and basically bore testimony. The missionaries are now teaching her down in calgary!!!
The second trunk r treat was just as fun. WAY more people. Cause it was three wards combined. I was giving out the candy, we put pass along cards on suckers. yeah like ten kids came up to us at church as said they were going to give them to their friends. great idea! I was giving each kid like 10+ pieces of candy. The other three missionaries kept getting mad at me cause they said we werent goign to run out! hahahahahah yeah i gave out a lot anyways. Then we ran out.. oh welll hahahaha we probably gave out like 700+ suckers. We bought 4 huge bags and they were definitely gone...
Sunday to was legit.
At church nothing was extraordinary. just a great day. After we decided to go stop by a couple of referrals... Set one up with a new person that we have only talked to on the phone. Li Yang. We set up the appointment for saturday! Pray for us. I am so excited about it. The other was a guy that has wanted us to stop by. We did. He couldn't meet with us then, but he was a wayyyyyy nice guy and wanted us to come back this week. We are going to get a time set up! It was definitely a good week...
So mom you asked me to make a christmas list. hahahah missionaries dont need anything. seriously. can you just make my christmas twice as good next year :) hahahah no but really.. the only thing i can think of is like a couple of nice ties. maybe an orange one, purple one .. i dont know. I really like plaid ties and stripes. Thats about it though. hahah all i can think of sorry :)
Also the next package you send up, i need you to throw something in there. I have some NIKEPRO tights that are white. I wore them in basketball practices sometimes. haha i dont want them to stay warm, i ahve the warm ones. i just want them to play basketball in. i should have them somewhere in my room. But i havent been in there for 370 days, so who knows ?? hahah thanks :)
