This week was seriously so crazy! Overall really fun week and we saw some awesome miracles!
Last Monday we went and ate some tacos. There's a killer Mexican place, it's like the most authentic one in NC I think. Then played some frisbee golf with some other missionaries. It was kind of lame you spend half the time looking for other people's discs, I feel like, until you are really good. But later that night after a great lesson with Sandra we knocked on this lady's door who we had talked to before named Giselle. She said they were having such a hard time building a table right then and so we went in and helped them finish their table. It took a while and I was dripping sweat by the end haha. But after that they told us they wanted to feed us dinner! I think they'll be really open to the message of the restoration so that'll be really fun. She had to reschedule once but hopefully that'll happen this week soon.
Sandra is still doing really well! She had a little stumbling block for a minute because she didn't understand what she was reading in the scriptures so she wanted to restart. So she started over and the next time we went by she was so happy. She knew Satan was trying to stop her and this week she read a ton and understood it. It was pretty neat too, we took the family history lady in our ward and she set up an account for her and she found a ton of family members she had no idea about! It was really great to see how happy Sandra was and get to experience the Spirit of family history.
Then we went on exchanges Tuesday, that was a lot of fun. I went with Elder McFadden in Kannapolis. We tried to catch the bus but missed it, so we had to hop on our bikes and get going. It was pouring rain before that, but when we got going, it got super hot and I was drenched in sweat in like 5 minutes. But it probably helped because we knocked on a guys door and just asked if we could come in and cool down for a second and ended up teaching him a little bit and he invited us back! Then we biked a lot more, and I had just eaten Jack in the Box so that killed me! We were able to give a lady a blessing at the hospital which was another good experience we had. Then taught a crazy guy in an old folks home.
When I got back from exchanges they had some appointments that I was excited about. We had tried to go see a lady in the ward last week. When we knocked on the door the lady said that that woman had moved but that she wanted us to come teach her kids and her. So that was awesome, they went and taught them and they all were super interested in having us come teach them more. They missed their return apt yesterday, but hoping it still works out. Ok for the craziest story of the all though.....Saturday night. We go to see this lady in the ward that no one really knew. We knock on the door and the guy yells for his grandma across the street. She comes over and she was really nice, really funny lady just was talking our ears off. She was speaking Ebonics so you couldn't understand really most of it. The guys, there are 4 of them, big guys, all super nice, step outside while we were talking. So we are talking to this lady a bit and a car screeches up and 4 dudes get out and they all start yelling at each other. The mom goes out and starts yelling at them all too!! She comes back in and we tell her we need to have a prayer...Elder Anderson prays and in the middle of the prayer they all start going at it again! I couldn't stop laughing, you know when you're trying so hard not to laugh but you just can't stop it. Then... amen. And we get up to go and the guy runs back in and said y'all got to go before they come back! He tells the story to us...man it was hilarious.... "Tony's baby momma's boyfriend pulled up on us! Said Why your boy Tony hiden from meh" We got out of there real quick! Idk If they all made it through the night. So I guess that was a miracle that we lived.
We met another lady that we are really excited about too. She is a member but her kids aren't and she told us she really wants to come again and get her kids involved! We are hoping to really start teaching them this week too.
Ya so that's the deets pretty much! Oh ya we went to Bass Pro Shop today--That was awesome.
Love y'all!
Love you momma!
Hey the videos aren't working! I don't think they'll come through they might be too big or something, ill keep trying though. I don't think you should send them over Facebook, they've asked us not to do that
I wish I could send you a video I took this week. We almost got caught in a gun fight in the ghetto Saturday night! It was so wild! These huge black guys were screaming at each other while we were trying to pray with this lady so we could get out of there! It was honestly the funniest thing ever! Craziest lesson of my mission probably haha. I'll write about it in my big email.
How are you doing?
Any update on the classes thing?
