Because he wanted to
see time fly :) haha
That's how I always
feel when I am back here at this computer. Has it really been a week
already?! I honestly do not know where April went. I think they
must have skipped it on all the calendars and we went straight from March to
May. This week went even faster than most because we had meetings and two
exchanges so we were running everywhere. I guess a good prep for next
week. We are having Elder Teh (a Quorum of the Seventy) come visit our
mission and talk with us. I love meetings as a missionary though, they
are always the best! Extra awesome.
Well. This week
was kind of slow. We moved 3 of our investigators who are getting
baptized this month basically across the street....but into the Elders area.
Sometimes it stinks being in the same town as 52 other missionaries, they steal
your investigators! Good thing it's the same gospel wherever you go and
they aren't too far away. So now that we have all that 'free' time, we
have been walking around a lot to meet more people. We usually park the
car once we get into our area and walk everywhere we have to go.
Especially since it is so nice outside now! Man, I love it. You
meet lots of interesting people that way! ...when you can get them to
talk with you. People see the name tags and they run. Quite comical
actually. One guy pulled up in his car and reaches behind him to get a
pizza box, sits up, notices us walking in his direction and freezes with his
hand on the door handle with a deer in the headlight look. Which is
awkward for us because do we keep walking or do you stop and wait for him to
get out and freak him out?? We decide to walk slower and wait for him to
get out. Well he keeps looking at his door and then at us and I'm not
even kidding, throws the door open and bolts to his house! With the pizza
box! One of the funniest things I have ever seen. A big tall guy
scared of two little girls walking down the road. Then we had another
guy, very nicely and concerned-like, tell us that we needed to change our ways
and believe in Jesus Christ or we were not going to make it to heaven. I
don't get it when people say we don't believe in Jesus Christ. Do you not
see the name tag?! Any who, he even prayed for us, bless his heart.
Most people are very nice though! We were trying out different approaches
to make it less awkward to randomly go up to people in their yard and one lady
even complimented us on our tactics. That's the word she used too. AND is
letting us come back. Yes! And now that it is getting hotter, people
are always offering us water bottles. Hey, anything to get a conversation
going!
So nothing
crazy. Lots of walking. Lots of sun. Lots of feeling the
Spirit. Lots of fun. Missionary work in a nutshell. Sorry I
don't have anything more interesting to report, it's all turns into a blur.
But I hope everyone
has a fantastic week and I am so excited to Skype home this weekend!
Happy Mother’s Day!!
Love,
Sis. Rae
