It has been a great week here! We have met a bunch of cool people this week, I will tell you about some of them! We met a girl named Martha (she was more funny than cool) she asked us if we were JW's and we said "no, we're mormons" to which she let out a fake "scream" and acted like we were a cult and laughed haha! She then said "well I have a lot of questions. Have you watched TV lately?" So we are a little concerned and excited to meet with her again haha! She was leaving town but we are going back this week.
We have been helping a girl named Jessie redo a house. This week we helped her sand and stain her kitchen cabinets and our hands are stained black.
We had a cool member missionary work fireside this week. It was awesome! The leadership here is so so great! We used some videos from the "Missionary Next Door". She does a great job of explaining the members role vs. the missionaries role. Members are there to introduce and fellowship and we are here to do the teaching!
We have done service at the Opportunity center this week. That is the senior citizen center here. We serve the people there lunch. They love to talk to us!
A member invited us over to a party this week where we got to have some real Mole. It was pretty good!
We met some other cool people named Ester and her husband Moses. She only speaks Spanish (we have found that a ton this week!) She was asking us lots of questions and was interested in reading the Book of Mormon! We are going back tonight!
We have been playing volleyball at the park on Saturday nights and this week we had a bunch of people there! It is a great opportunity to get people talking!
We also met a super cool lady named Crystal!! We knocked into her last night and she told us that she actually grew up in Utah and since she got married she has lived in several different places. A couple of months ago she was visiting her sister in St. George and she went to Deseret Book so that she could BUY a Book of Mormon??!! No one does that! So we invited her to our Halloween party this week and she was excited to bring her kids! We can't wait to start working with her!!
Hope y'all have a great week!
don't forget! READ AND PRAY EVERYDAY!!
