Ward History: I’ve been on my mission for 3 months now and it’s been a great experience. We have had 3 baptisms and 3 on the way. It is incredible the challenges that are out in this world and even the challenges that I have on my mission. I know that this will be the greatest time of my life though and that I will never regret serving a mission. I know that the Lord does provide for us missionaries and for everyone that will accept him and keep his commandments. We just need to trust in the Lord.
Well the last week and a half has been pretty good! Not so much last week but this week is going super good! We have just been packed with lots of people to teach and new people to meet. I’m finally getting better at knocking on doors. It was hard for a while because I just wouldn’t know what to say but we have 2 return appointments with people we met knocking on doors. We had one funny experience this last week where we knocked on a door and this darker lady answers the door and glares at us and I introduced us and she said she knew who we were and then asked if we had read the sign on the window. I looked around at all the windows and saw no signs anywhere and she came out and angrily pointed at the window and then noticed it wasn’t there and just felt dumb and went back inside and told us to leave hahah. It was really great! We also had a funny moment while we were walking past a bus stop. I walked toward a Hispanic guy and said "hey how're you?" and he just put his hands up and said "I didn’t do nothin." over and over and I kept trying to tell him we weren’t the police we were missionaries and after about a minute of this he put his hands down and got a big smile and then said "hey guys how’s it goin?" and shook our hands haha. He wasn’t a member but he knew who we were and we talked to him for a minute and he seemed really interested. Now it just depends on if he actually calls to get the Book of Mormon or not. Those are our two funny stories! As far as awesome stories there’s one involving J of course because she is just awesome! She is completely committed to the church already and it’s just super awesome. She said she had a dream about us one night and we were dressed in white just smiling at her and the next day was S’s baptism and she came to that and the first person she saw when she walked through the door was me dressed in all white just like in her dream and she said it was basically a confirmation to her that this is what’s right. We continue to have amazing lessons with her and we found out that a member came to her house (we aren’t sure who but we have an idea) and was talking about how tithing is a pain and asked her why she wanted to get baptized and just saying stupid things and J replied by telling her that she sure wasn’t sounding very Christian and that paying tithes is the least we can do for God for all he has done for us and just stood up for the church! She isn’t even a member yet!! This last time she also told us how much of a blessing we have been to her life and how much she loves us and it was just super awesome! We had an awesome dinner last night at the part member’s house. The kid who I’m with in the picture dressed as jack sparrow. It’s his house. That family is just really awesome I love being over there and being with them! Their kids are the greatest! It’s really crazy that Christmas is coming up so soon! Well that’s about all for this last week and a half. We had some good days and some not so good but that’s how it goes! I love you tons!!
