HOWDY YALLL!! Wowza guys I'm so tired lol! This week's been a wild one lol!
Monday: PDAYYYY! We went and played card games with the Moffatts, it was soo fun! Then we had a huge event for Christmas where they light up all the Christmas lights! It was so fun, we talked to lots of really cool people! Then we had a lesson with our friend Wes, it was so good!
Tuesday: BEING SICK IS THE WORST! I got hit with some kinda flu... being sick as a missionary is not fun! I have mad respect for the covid missionaries now because I felt like I was going crazy just being inside for a day
Wednesday: SICK THINGS PT2! Yeah I couldn't sit still long enough to stay inside again so we decided to full send it anyway ( for my sanity lol) don't worry I wasn't contagious and actually felt a lot better once we got out! We had some member calls, some service, a dinner with a member!
Thursday: TENDER MERCIES! We drove out to Joplin 1st thing in the morning to meet a referral. Come to find out she lives way too far for us to drive haha. So we did a video call lesson, it was super good! Then we went and got our car fixed then had a lesson w/ an inactive. We had a few member calls and they were so good! Ahhh I love the ysa they are the best ever! We had a lesson with Wes whose on date. A few weeks ago we promised him that if he read the Book of Mormon every day for 5 minutes that he would know it's true by the end of the month. Well we had our lesson with him on the 1st and he said that he got his answer the previous night!!! He's on date for the 11th!
Friday: ZONE BLITZ! I've been waiting and praying for them to come blitz Carthage! A blitz is where all the missionaries in our zone go finding in an area all day. We were able to find so many people! It was sooo fun! Also so rewind lol we go to Walmart a lot for finding haha! But apparently this guy saw us and remember how he felt when he saw us! Fast forward some sisters were in the parking lot and he stopped them and asked them to tell them more about Alma haha! He said one of the missionaries gave him a Book of Mormon and he read it and knows its true. He told the sisters that he had seen us around and knows people who are members. He said we have a "light" and are just happy and he wants that too. He's family ward so now the family ward sisters are going to start teaching him! Super cool!
Saturday: I'M DUMB! We joke how Sister Ritchie and I take turns sharing a brain cell and this week I definitely didn't have it) LOL... We decided it seemed like a great day to go finding at Pitt state, they were having a festival for the church so we were like bet, let's go! I did not realize that 1. it was a Saturday so campus was closed and 2. the festival was a non proselyte event. We made the most of it and went finding anyway. We got rejected hard-core and I was not in the mood lol! But we listed to some Nik Day to hype us up and we went into the dollar general. Which is where we met Carlos! We talked to Carlos for a good hour about the restoration, bom, plan of salvation! He was super interested so we set a return apt for that night at the festival. We go and he's like an hour late. But he came!! And we found a recent convert to come to our lesson, then Carlos's high school friend was there who's getting ready to leave on a Mission so we dragged him along too! GUYSSSSS!!! Ahh that lesson was so powerful, he just kept saying this makes sense, that this was God's hand that we were able to meet! Everyone in that room needed to be there, it worked out perfect! We put him on date for the end of this month! God truly does know exactly what he's doing so it doesn't matter if we don't have no clue! LOL!
Sunday: I LOVE TESTIMONY MEETINGS!! Today was soo good! There were so many bomb testimonies and then we had a really good lesson after! After church we did some planning, then we watched the Christmas devotional which was amazing!!!!
Challenge: SMILE!!!! People recognize the light you have, they feel the difference! So choose to smile and laugh! To quote ELF... "It's my favorite!"
