*Lots and lots and lots of knocking doors 
*We knocked on a door, this guy answered and asked if we were Christian. We said yes, and out of nowhere he SCREAMED “CHECK IT OUT!” so loud, while flipping his whole body around and pointing to a no soliciting sign… and then he calmly walked inside and said “love you guys though” while closing the door.
*We had Zone Conference and they had me film an add for Facebook…
*We had such a good day on Saturday! Lots of pop up lessons and cool people!
Sunday was good the first half of the day! We went to Church, took the Sacrament, had a great lesson. But the second half of the day was so insane!
1.The first person we talked to was a pastor for another church, he walked out with a smile on his face and tried to bash us. During bashes I've been trying to reflect on What Jesus would do or say, so we were able to keep it pretty contention free, he's going to read the Book of Mormon, and I walked away knowing that I was a good example of a representative of Jesus Christ and that I accomplished my missionary purpose! (Which doesn't always happen when there's a bible bash). Also pray for Will's wife! She has cancer and isn't doing well:(
2. Immediately after we got bashed we knocked into this super crazy lady who got all up in our business and was yelling at us about how God isn't real and how she doesn't believe in anything. She thinks that once she dies that's it and that's the end. I asked for her name at the end and she told me “you don't get to know that!” While pointing and shaking her head at me. She was definitely an interesting lady. Me and Sister Larsen couldn't help but laugh after because it was such a weird conversation. It also made me super sad because I couldn't help but see her through God’s eyes and just think about how heartbroken Heavenly Father must be to see his child so lost and have such hatred towards him.
Immediately after that!
3. We knocked on a door, a lady answered and through the storm door glass said “I know who you are!” pointing at us. She said “you're from the Church of Jesus Christ”. We said “Yes we are!” She then held up her finger and with so much sass said “UH UH UH, I AM from the CHURCH of Christ, the ONLY church!” And just sat there shaking her head until we left…
This week:
Monday: We got to hangout with our district and play pickleball, and some card games! We also ate Subway which was yummy.
Tuesday: We were supposed to have a lesson with Marco at the church but he got into a car crash on the way there. Freaking Satan bro. He asked us “why is it that when I am making good decisions in my life that hard things start to happen?”. Marco is okay, he isn’t hurt but pray that he will be able to find peace in the gospel instead of turning away from it.
Wednesday: This day was pretty awesome! We were in Little Mexico and got to talk to a lot of people who seemed pretty interested and said to come back the next day! One of the people we talked to may have been holding a razor blade the entire conversation but we kept our distance and God kept us safe. Later in the day we got to attend a baptism for a friend of the elders in our district! This was the first baptism I’ve attended for someone over the age of 8. It was the sweetest experience ever! When he came out of the water the spirit was so strong and his smile was so big! His little girl was kneeling down by the glass and she was smiling so big too. He blew her a kiss and she blew one right back through the glass. Me and Sister Evans were just crying. It was amazing getting to see someone making these covenants with God and being so overjoyed.
Thursday: I was so insanely tired! I kept falling asleep during my personal study and anytime I was literally just sitting down. We went back to all the people who said to come back and literally none of them answered their door, so that was my absolute favorite… Some fun parts of this day was seeing a drug deal go down, and almost getting smacked off a porch by a storm door.
Friday: It was freezing and no one was interested :( but it was still a good day! just lots of knocking.
Saturday: Lots of knocking, Sister Larsen Biffed it on a door step, and Marco told us that he loves the Book of Mormon and it’s changed his life! We also ate yummy Braums shakes.
Sunday: nothing eventful, but we had an amazing sacrament meeting and got to talk about palm Sunday.
Fun/Funny:
♡ I'm getting better at introducing myself in Spanish.
♡ I started listening to/reading the Saints book! I love it!
♡ We started a joy wall! We put everything that brought us joy that day on a sticky note and put it up on the wall. There's so much joy everyday!
♡ We had lots of member meals!
God is so good
