What's up guys??
This week was awesome! Highlight of the week (no offense BYU
fans) was when I heard in stake conference on Sunday that Utah won!! Just
kidding the highlight of my week was teaching repentance;) Also we are emailing
today instead of Monday (yesterday) because yesterday we had a mission
conference with Elder Robert C. Gay of the Quorum of the 70, it was awesome! It
is amazing to hear from general authorities, they are all so inspired! It's
also amazing to see how much they have to give up to be general authorities
(I'm not even gonna tell you how many huge companies Elder Gay owned before he
was called to be a mission president) it is inspiring! And on top of that, this
Saturday we get to hear from 3 general authorities!! Elder Oaks (yes the
apostle), Elder Robbins, and Elder Calderwood are all coming here to Frederick
(woah) for a special mission tour on Saturday!! Super pumped!!
We saw some pretty sweet miracles this week! We got a
referral from the Frederick elders of this family that literally just showed up
to their ward on Sunday looking for a new church and it turns out they live in
our area so we went over and started teaching them! Their names are Ashley and
Regime and they have 3 boys, they're super cool! The best part about it is that
they asked their neighbor (the Walkersville sister's investigator) which church
they should go to and she told them to go here! They came to stake conference
on Sunday which was cool too.
Friday was one of those days... We had a bunch of
appointments and they all fell through and they were all super far away from
each other so we bike like 700 miles (not really that much) and we were both
super tired and almost bummed out (still optimistic). Towards the end of the
day we had dinner all the way up in Walkersville and an appointment all the way
down in Frederick and we got to our dinner appointment and they weren't there
but they called us and said they were coming, long story short we were late for
our next appointment and we were biking super hard to get there to tell them we
were sorry for being late and we'll reschedule because it's already super late.
Then out of nowhere, Brian, our investigator pulled over and picked us up
(conveniently he has a bike rack on his car) took us to our appointment and
then took us to McDonalds afterwards, such a homie!! Miracle!!
Funny story of the week: on Sunday I got to give a baptism
interview to a lady and her 2 girls (ages 9 and 10) and they were hilarious!
With the 9 year old the topic of marriage got brought up and she said she was
never gonna get married "Why don't you wanna get married?"
"Because my mom almost got married but she didn't because her boyfriend
cheated on her. I don't even know what that means??? What does that mean?? Did
he cheat in a game?? Why was she so sad????" The whole time I was biting
my lip trying so hard not to start laughing! Then later she asked "When I
get baptized will my skin turn from brown to white?" "No"
"I want to look like Jesus and Jesus has white skin, why can't I have
white skin like Jesus?" "Yikes".
Have a good week!
