Today is one of those days when I am brain dead! I can't even
think about what happened this week! I am super tired! But, I am
grateful to be tired because it means that I am putting all my energies
into what I am doing.
I took a shower with a lizard today! My companion
(the Brazilian of the bunch, mind you) thought that was super gross. I
thought it was super cool! I will miss Brasil!
This week we experienced more rejection than normal. I know
it is because I am training!! Thank you Heavenly Father for giving me
this challenge when I already feel this huge responsibility on my
shoulders!!!
One thing I have been amazed with here on the
mission is how the Spirit works. Sometimes, most of the time, we do
things without knowing why. Sometimes we do what the spirit tells us to
do, and things don't go right. But the Lord leads us on a wild goose
chase of sorts........that thing that didn't go right, but put us in a
position for something else to happen. I feel like that has happened
with me these past weeks. Sister Araujo hurt her ankle so I went on
divisions with a lady in my ward. While I was walking with her on the
street, I had the strong impression to talk to a lady walking past. The
spirit pretty much pushed me to do it. I didn't even have time to
mentally prepare myself, so I pretty much attacked the lady and made
just about the ugliest contact a missionary can make. (All with the
member right there with me. How embarrassing. But the important thing is
that I listened to the spirit and opened my mouth). Turns out the this
lady and the member I was with knew each other a bit. Because of the
member, I was able to make an appointment with this lady. Long story
short, we weren't able to make it to the appointment when we had
scheduled, so we went to her house yesterday. She was at home, but was
hiding. I saw her, but she didn't come to the fence to us. So, I decided
that because we were there and our appointment fell through, I would
knock the door of the house next door. We knocked and out came this man
and his girlfriend. Yeah.........super interested. Super cool! Thank you
Heavenly Father!
I love you all and hope you have a great week! The church is more than true!
