HOWDY YALLL!!
Monday: MERICA!!!!🇺🇲 I STINKING LOVE MEMORIAL DAY!!! We did bom experiments in the park and it was way fun! Holidays as missionaries are low key so hype because you get to get way creative with your approaches. We crafted a lil memorial day message and tied it to the bom and talked about the nephites fighting for their religious freedom. It found us a few solid ppl actually so that was way hype! Especially serving by a military post ppl are always down to talk about God and freedom!
Tuesday: PASSALONG CARDS🤌 If you read last week's email when we were out of boms. we decided to make bom passalongs. Yeah we're still out of boms... but everything happens for a reason bc if we hadn't made the passalong cards we wouldn't have found Athena! We tracted a neighborhood and only 3 ppl answered but we left those passalong cards with everyone
# FLOODTHEEARTH🌊 and it paid off cause Athena is the first person i've found on my mission so far from a passalong card!!
Wednesday: PDAYYYY
9 day work weeks ain't for the week! But man so worth it for all the tender mercies we saw for working hard even when we were tired!
Thursday: THE CHURCH IS TRUE AND THE BOOK IS BLUE! So obviously I love and respect everyone's beliefs. But man when I listen to some ppl talk about what they believe it just strengthens my testimony of the church of jesus christ of latter-day saints. Like it just makes so much sense! It fills all the gaps for me, so many people have questions that are answered by the simple truths we teach as missionaries!
Friday: THE CUTEST CHINESE GRANDMA "ADOPTED" US! My heavens this woman was just the sweetest thing ever! We gave her a bom and introduced it to her and after she told us we were now her family and could come over whenever we wanted haha. When we left she hugged the bom kissed and held it up to the sky! It was so tender and made me want to cry 🥲🥰
Saturday: SOME PPL DO BE WICKED...
Wow we visited a Grey dot on a Saturday night and ended up showing up to her divorce party... talk about bad timing lol... as one could imagine this girl and everyone there for that matter was high and 4 beers deep lol! We got straight bashed by 5 drunk ppl all at once. Sister Morris was able to pull one aside and have a good convo but I almost got into a fight with one of them cause they started coming at me... while they were yelling at me telling me that I didn't know what I was talking about and I was being brainwashed lol I thought of the talk on missionary work and the atonement by Elder Holland. Specifically this quote " When you struggle, when you are rejected, when you are spit upon and cast out, you are standing with the best life this world has ever known, the only pure and perfect life ever lived. You have reason to stand tall and be grateful that the Living Son of the Living God. He knows all about your sorrows and afflictions". Even though that experience wasn't the best ever lol. I'm glad I had it because I've never felt closer to my savior than when I didn't shy away to testifying of him and his restored gospel.
Sunday: MIGHTY PRAYER AND FASTING! With Elder bednar coming this week, our mission president asked us to fast for open minds and hearts. We took it as an opportunity to stress the importance of fasting, We are doing a 40 day fast with our ward for missionary work! And we already have seen so many miracles! We were tracting and someone literally pulled over and rolled down their window to ask us for info on where church is!
Invitation: 40 day fast! Along with our wards 40 day fast, me and Sister Morris are doing a 40 day fast from anything that's drawing us away from the spirit! We prayed about it during sacrament and made our lists of things we want to stop doing and things we want to start doing. So ya'll should do it with me!
