What
a week! Wow I am doing seriously so good. I absolutely love it out
here! Me and my comp are having a blast and working super hard together.
When I first got here just last week, we didn't have many people in our
teaching pool, less than we did in the office to be honest, but we have
already been finding tons of people. I have just made it a goal to talk
with everyone and look for every possible way to give everyone the
chance to hear from us. I know this area was waiting for my comp and I
because we have already had great experiences and crazy inspirations!
People are literally waiting for us. Just waiting. The other day, we
asked for references from some members and they gave us 2 super solid
and prepared inactive members who we contacted and were just waiting for
someone to invite them!! We found a lady who we shared with who told us
that she had been thinking a lot about going again and stuff but just
never has gotten around to doing it, and she was just like, "Yeah...
idk... I guess I really want to go back, but I don't know if I can
because I am separated from my husband who I was married with." So we
explained to her that it doesn't matter and we invite everyone and anyone
no matter what their situation or problem is. So she was like, OK! Ill
go! and was way excited! So we are looking forward to her coming to
church this week!
Another
amazing experience that was crazy to me was that I was trying to call
our mission leader to see if he could leave with us but I accidentally
called some other random number in our cell phone and after talking with
the guy who answered for like 5 minutes, I figured out it was not our
mission leader, but rather some guy that met the missionaries in this
area long ago. I figured out it wasn't our mission leader when he said,
"Well, I really want to be Mormon, but I just live far away." I was
like.... "ahhh... wait, what??" hahaha. Then we kept talking and turns
out he lives like an hour away in the middle of the boonies way the hey
out there. But he has family here in Navarrete so he said he will come
stay with them and go to church on Sunday at 9!! Crazy!
Wow
I wish I could write in detail about all the awesome experiences Elder
Murray and I are having. But I am just so happy and content right now
and we are both working so hard and he is a great companion so that
makes it so much easier, especially coming out of not my favorite
companionship.. haha.
So
Vin Diesel was here the other day in a part of our area filming XXX so
that was cool! It happened a week before I got here so that's a dang
bummer because my comp and the whole zone here got to go watch it be
filmed and take pics of him! Way cool.
So
I am out of time and it's a bummer because I have lots of cool things to
write about, but I'll just make solid journal entries so I can talk
about it all when I get back.
Everyone
here asks me how much time I have in the mission! I don't know why!! It's
so dumb because no one really ever asked me that in my other areas but
it's like they know I only have a little bit of time left! I hate when people ask me that! But Its gonna be the best 4 months ever!!
Oh,
before I forget, we had a super dope conference yesterday with Elder
Cornish from the Seventy and me and my comp got chosen afterwards to have a
special interview with him and it was so cool!! We got to ask him
questions and he asked us questions and he asked us one question in
specific and he told me that the answer I gave him was the best counsel
he thinks he has ever received from a missionary! So that was so cool! I
feel way honored and way blessed.
Ok, gotta go, love you all!
