waddup peeps!!
well, this week was pretty good :) we had to do some baptismal interviews for
the traveling elders (they teach at appointments that members set up where
there aren't any missionaries) and every time we went on exchanges for that...
our appointments fell through. so i was like, "welp, lets go knock some
doors." it went okay, we did find some new people to teach! most of
em just moved into clarksville,
cuz the army is switching people around... kinda like transfers. its going to be
weird when september hits though... because all of the 101st is getting
deployed, and also 3rd brigade, and that is... like our whole ward! haha. so
most of the priesthood will be gone... no bueno. so all of the sisters in the
ward are planning to feed us still... but have it be a huge get together,
where all of the families get together at someone's house and they promised to
bring friends :) otherwise... we couldn't get fed cuz all the hubbys are leaving
:(
hey mom remember that one time you got me chick fil a and i didn't like it???
well that must have been like a bad piece of chicky or something... cuz i'm
obsessed with it now!! haha. the people that work there know us too!! or maybe
because we stick out horribad? idk. but we were talking to one guy that works
there and he was asking where our church was and he is interested :) woohoo!!
so it pays off to eat chick fil a!
Clarksvegas is the land of miracles
though... since so many people move in n out (i miss that food btw...) there
are always new people to talk to! you could knock one street... then in 4
months... there will be 4 new families on the same street. crazy!! so
we are always finding new people that have never seen or heard about
missionaries before.
oh story time. so this prolly isn't the best story, but
yeah. Duke and I were just having a poopy day. nothing was going for us. we
decided to knock some houses, and we knock on this one and the lady opens her
door... this is how it went
Me: "hello ma'am! we are representatives of Jesus Christ and w...."
her: "can you read mr. representative??"
Me: "... yes?"
her: "can you not read the 'no soliciting' sign?!?!"
Me: "yeah i read it :) (the smiley means i smiled when i said that haha) but
we aren't soliciting ma'am"
her: "why don't you go get a dictionary, look up the word soliciting, then
come talk to me."
(ooohhhh that made me mad!!)
Me: "ma'am have you looked it up recently?? if not... maybe you should, so
you don't make yourself look silly again... have a good day."
so i know that was totally not the most Christ-like thing. and i did repent of
it haha. but that lil comment just pushed me over... and i don't get mad
easily... i totally could have said it differently though... my bad.
on a better
note, we have zone conference tomorrow!!! so that is always a plus... time to
get spiritually fed! :) i hope yall are stayin classy!!! and fyi... that pic of
me and duke sleeping was at institute... they played an hour long movie that we
watch all the time as missionaries... all i remember was our teacher putting
the movie in... then waking up to everyone giggling... haha. no bueno. just
remember... life is like a box of chocolates... you never know what you're
gunna get! love yall!!
peace out girl scouts!
