Hey Family,
Thanks for talking to me on Mother’s Day...not! Just kidding I can't wait to talk to you next week. Hope y'all are doing well and can't wait to see your beautiful and handsome faces!
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY MOM! I have the best mom in the world!!!!!! Thanks for loving me and for making me limeade in the summer, making me laugh and for being my hero. What a blessing it is to have a mom! Mother's day on the mission is so great. All the missionaries especially the Elders are just giddy to talk to their moms! It's great the whole world turns into little kids on Mother’s day. I LOVE YOU MOM! Be looking for something in the mail!
This week Elder Turley, Elder Yergensen, Sister Crandall, and I got interviewed by the County Daily Journal! It was pretty neat. The man who interviewed us was writing an article about door to door proselyting. It's going to be published on Saturday. The craziest question he asked us was if we ever walk into any uncomfortable situations behind the door we are knocking, so it wasn't bad at all. The answer to that question in Southern tones is "MMMMhhhmmm." We didn't tell him the really crazy ones, but I think my craziest one was a woman recovering after a gastric bypass surgery and she wanted to show us her scar. AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH! Any who, we were all a little apprehensive about what he was going to ask us, but the spirit was there guiding our words. We will send you the article. It should be pretty cool. We feel pretty famous now:)
This week was my official hump day of being in the field! I've been in the South for 9 months!!!!!! This is crazy. It goes by so fast! I've got a lot to do.
On Monday we had a return appointment with Terrica. How we found Terrica was pretty hilarious. Way back yonder Sister Crandall and I weren't feeling very well so we went home to grab a bite to eat. As we looked in the cupboards for food we saw a brownie mix, and decided to make some for the bishop. As we gathered the ingredients the only thing we were missing was a pan to cook them in. So we do like missionaries and tract to find a brownie pan, while sharing the Gospel. #faithtofindabrowniepanandbaptisms After knocking about 10 doors finally someone had one they were willing to share. We made the brownies and then gave the sweet lady her brownie pan back with a brownie on it. We asked if we could share a message with her and she said absolutely. On Monday, when we went to teach her, she said that her friends told her that she had just been swindled by the Mormons. Guess what? She boldly defended us saying,
"Those girls meant no harm so I'm sure there message means no harm. They were just sweet girls who needed a brownie pan and I'm not afraid to hear their message!"
No act of service is too small right? She loved the Restoration and wants to learn more. The Lord sure does work in mysterious ways:)
