Well I have five minutes to tell you about the last two weeks so here goes nothin'!
We didn't end up going to the temple with our investigator Sarah 2 weekends ago but we did go this past Saturday!
It was so much fun and she LOVED the visitors
center! She cried the whole time haha! We watched Joseph Smith: Prophet
of the Restoration and if you know me and that video you know it's like
my favorite church movie of ALL TIME! It is so amazing to have
investigators watch it because it really helps them to understand the
kind of man Joseph Smith was and to feel the Spirit testify the truth of
the things he experienced! I am VERY grateful for that man's faith!
The
past two weeks we did a lot of street contacting and finding and such.
We are really working hard on actually getting people to teach, building
our relationships with the members, and making sure that recent
converts and less actives feel loved! Sometimes our work is tedious and
it is definitely long (these people need lots of love) but it is so
worth it! I am growing to love this area more every single day!
As
for funny stuff that happened I am having a hard time remembering
because I am terrible at writing in my journal. I did meet this girl
last week named Nelly! She is SO funny! She talked to me for about 15
minutes about her weave haha! She is trying so hard to improve her life
and draw closer to the Savior.
We still only
officially have one investigator but we are working with a girl named
Divinity! She is so darling and so prepared for the gospel! Her
boyfriend is a member of our ward. She has a kid from a previous
relationship and loves him to pieces. She has the softest heart it is
amazing! I love her!
We are also trying to
teach a girl named Ashley. She has a learning disability so it's tough.
Sometimes she doesn't remember us when we visit her house!
A
miracle that happened this past week is that we got in touch with, had
at a ward activity, and went over to the house of a recent convert who
hasn't come to church in a while! She also made us breakfast which is a
miracle all on its own haha! She is the best and such a solid member but
super busy! She is getting her nursing degree and traveling back and
forth between Baltimore and Annapolis. Her boyfriend is a midshipman on
base in Annapolis! We have a return appointment with her tomorrow it's going to be awesome!
The members who were struggling that we were working with are doing much better now! One of them went to the temple this past Saturday! She has such a light about her!! Love it!!
Well...I
guess I'll share a goofy thing that happened last night. We were
talking to our district leader and his companion on the phone and when
they hung up Sister Sirrine called them dumb dumbs and I immediately
imagined little dum dum suckers walking around the streets of Baltimore
with missionary tags on hahahah! Okay maybe it's not that funny but I
hope you appreciate my goofy sense of huor that is keeping me smiling!
I will try harder to keep track of everything that happens!
OH!
Two preparation days ago we went down to the inner harbor in Baltimore
and went to the famous tag alley! That's the only place in Baltimore
where it's legal to do graffiti! We found some spray paint bottles that
people had left with tons of paint and I spray painted my name! I love this city!
