She mentions over and over about all the cool people she is meeting. Thanks for all of your support.
What a week! Some fun/crazy/spiritual stuff happened.
We went and sang hymns at a rest home for zone service and it totally made me think of all my cute residents back at Country Lane! Gosh I miss them.
The Spanish elders are freaking awesome and keep getting referrals for us! (Elder Turley and Bucahnon. They're fam) Buuuut the referrals haven't turned out so great... hahahah. The first one, we went and tried to find this house but couldn't find it so we asked the guy walking down the street if he knew where house 512 was because we were looking for Jenny. Then he freaked out and was like "I'm 512! Did she send you? Am I being punked?" Then he made us call this chick named Ruby for him and he got mad at her for sending "Church Girls" LOL. Umm yeah pretty sure he was about to go through with a drug deal with Ruby. So that was awkward. We never did find Jenny :/
Then that same day we went to the second referral they gave us. It went a little better... it was a family. It was going okay until they invited thier friend over to ask us questions. Not gonna lie, she had some pretty good questions. Her main one was "How can you believe there is a God with all of the terrible things happening in the world to innocent people?" We tried to explain agency of man. But she was kinda bashing with us. It made me sad because she was different from the other bashers. i could tell she was really hurting over something and she was angry. But it didn't matter what we said, she was still going to leave not believing in a God. I cried afterwards cause I felt sad for her. Lol. My tears are shed over some crazy things.
We had Zone Conference on Friday so that was legit! We talked a lot about door approaches which I definitely need practice with. And we got to see Pres. Lewis and his wife which is always great because they treat us so good :')
YSA ward is going great because its a blast and a half! Theres a girl named Sunnie who was deciding on whether to go on a mission or not and I talked to her about my experience deciding to go and our stories are very similar! It was so cool. And she has decided to serve a mission so thats super exciting! Shes great. The YSA ward played scooter soccer last week and it was so fuuuuun haha but I was way sore the next day.
Heres another cool story. Kinda sketch. So we were going tracting and our goal was to get inside someones house and teach them that day. It was getting late. Probably about 7:30. Second door we knock on, this guy with no shirt on answered. And I looked down by his hip and he was holding a gun.... immediately my stomach dropped to the floor and my mind zoned out of what was going on. Sister Wadman didn't see it. He then leaned forward and saw our nametags and then put the gun into his pocket and invited us in... We had to ask if there was a woman home and there was so we started going in... I stopped and checked with the spirit though and it felt okay lol no worries fam. But! It was a miracle knock! Turns out it was a part member fam. The man with the gun was only protecting his family and I don't think he knew I even saw his gun. He's harmless. His wife Kaela is an inactive member but is going to church again and is working towards going to the temple because her daughter turns 12 soon. The husband Shaun is a nonmember. He is very sarcastic and in a crude way but you can tell hes actually a softie on the inside. He believes the book of mormon is true but doesn't' want to stop drinking beer and coffee. When we left we asked if they needed anything and the wife was like "yeah. I need you guys to baptize my husband". Lol so then they invited us back for dinner this week and we're gonna try to start teaching him!
The Elders scared us one night. We pulled into our apartment and they sneaked up on the car and pounded on the windows. I almost had a heart attack... pretty funny though.
I GET TO GO TO THE TEMPLE ON FRIDAY! Josilyn, the new convert, got her temple recommend and so we get to go with her for her first time to do baptisms. I am so excited! It'll be awesome.
I'm doing good! I love my companion and the zone. I love learning and teaching about Jesus Christ everyday! Seriously, he's the best.
I hope y'all are doing good and being good. OH! MY beautiful bff Lindsay gets married this week! Give her some love for me. They're the cutest.
Love you all! Talk next week! :)
