I'm writing this on a Monday since our p day got switched because we have MLC again on Tuesday.
This week was pretty miraculous! Lot's of cool things happened! Especially at the end.
For one thing, we got our first snow last Friday! (it's all gone now..) It's kind of depressing because that means I will pretty much see snow for the rest of my days as a missionary. I am really going to miss the sun. It's hard to stay awake when it is 4:30 and pitch black outside... Oh well, I'll keep taking my vitamin d haha
I was feeling kinda frustrated this week because the people that we have been focusing so much of our time on keep letting us down and smurfing us and just not taking things seriously. It's hard to stay motivated sometimes when we just keep repeating the same vicious cycle. So I was praying really hard about it and asking God to lead us to people that really want to change. We have been realizing that if we want to see change then we need to change what we are doing. So we have been trying extra hard to go out and work hard even when (and especially when) we don't want to. We went knocking in a snowstorm. Even though it's super cold (so cold that my nostrils were freezing together!😨), it's one of my favorite things to do. It feels like an adventure! So yeah we have been working really hard and trying to be efficient and on Sunday, it felt like it started to pay off. Last transfer we had met this Jamacian guy named Greg through a bible ad and when we went to drop it off, we found 10 more guys living there as workers as well. They all wanted copies of the bible and the Book of Mormon but we weren't able to get enough copies of them until recently. Anyways, we brought them over to them last night and taught them about how it came to be and they all thought that it was so cool! All of them committed to read in 3 Nephi! So yeah we picked up 11 new people in one night!!! I think I just hit a new record. It was such a spiritual lesson. It was standing room only in that place so we just all stood in a circle and testified! Man we just left that place on cloud nine... Then we went to do this pass by. She had moved but the lady that lives there now was so sweet. We showed her a video and she just started sobbing! We also found two lost less actives AND we knocked into a guy named Nick who seemed like he wanted to talk but he also didn't seem sure. So we gave him our card and told him to check out the website. And that was it. We kept on knocking. Then like 10 minutes later, we got a text and it was HIM!! He asked us where the church was and also if he could text us with his questions. He also agreed for us to come back and talk more with him. It was so darn cool!! I have a lot of faith in this guy. It felt like he is ready.
I know that we were lead where we needed to be. I am so grateful to be an instrument in the Lord's hands. I love him. I know that this gospel is true and that God loves all of his children and is very aware of each of them.
