Cookies

Monday: we started the week off on our preparation day playing pickleball, BBall, VBall, and playing games with our district.   

Tuesday: lowkey a discouraging day, everyone we talked to that day was uninterested and kind of mean. and it was a super cold day! But! The good part of that day was making cookies with my companion and we got to deliver some to Jose. Jose is struggling because his friend recently passed away. We had a good visit, and prayed with him, he said he was so happy we could stop by and our visits always brighten his day!

Wednesday: Such a good day! We got to talk to so many people and hand out the cookies we made. People are way nicer when you give them a cookie! We brought our friend Denise some cookies because she just got knee surgery. She is having a hard time seeing God and others love for her. We got to share a message and a scripture with her. She was saying that she feels so distant from God, we talked to her about prayer, she said that she hasn’t prayed in a long time. We invited her to pray while we were there to help her. And SHE PRAYED! It was so sweet to hear her pray after a long time of not talking to God. I am so proud of her and she said she felt so much peace after praying. This is your reminder to talk to God, he wants to hear from you!

Thursday: BEST day yet! We had our district meeting in the morning, and went to Sams club for like the 3rd time since i’ve been here. Sam’s Club is like a Costco with cheap pizza and hot dogs, the elders are obsessed with it. This was the warmest day we have had yet! It was like 68° and everyone was out on the streets so we had so many people to talk to! Me and my companion also started a game to talk to as many people as possible and wave to as many people as possible and keep track. I lost track but we talked to a lot of people that day haha. When we were door to door contacting we were trying to decide which house to knock on when a truck turned down that street, I waved to them and they pulled over and asked what he could do for us (people don’t really wave in Kansas.) We said we were handing out cookies and sharing messages about Jesus Christ. He said that he believes in Jesus Christ but hasn’t gone to church in about 2 months. We invited him to church and gave him a cookie. Pray Josh can make it to church! Later that night we had about 10 min before we had to leave for an appointment and decided to knock on one more door, we decided to knock on a little white house on the corner. Travis answered the door and we got to talk to him and his dad for a little bit. We talked about God and Travis told us that he was just talking to his friend yesterday about how he misses having a church to go to and needs one to go to and then we showed up! He knows God sent us there! Also when we got to his house we had exactly 2 cookies left which was perfect for him and his dad. God is so good. Pray Travis and his dad can make it to church.

Friday: Nothing exciting but the highlight of my day was getting ice cream at a cute ice cream shop

Saturday: Jonathan is on date! I am so proud of him, pray that he can have the strength to stop smoking. 

Sunday: I gave a talk and it went pretty good, visited our friend Carol, did personal study in the sun, and ate yummy dinner with sister Davis. 

God is good all the time!
