Hello EVERYONE!!
1. So our car died last week... it was pretty fun being able to walk everywhere so now we just do it even though our car works haha
2. I am back to doing laundry at the laundry mat... not fun BUT we get to talk to a lot of people and tell them about the church so that part works out WONDERFUL!
3. Chloe and Clara are doing great! We had a lesson on Tuesday and Clara had a LOT of questions answered with the plan of salvation. It was pretty amazing. Her biggest realization was of the Godhead. How they are all 3 separate beings. It was like, "Oh yeah... that makes sense. I've felt the spirit before!" She was really happy about it. Then I went over with my mini missionary for the day and we set a baptismal date with Chloe for March 10th. She had told us Tuesday that next time she wanted to talk about what she needed to do to be baptized and so we did. Clara is really supportive of her and excited for it to. She even said, "Who knows. I might even jump on the bandwagon sometime." I hope so. She keeps telling me I have to come back and see them so we can hang out after my mission.
4. We got to do service at the Unity Center here in Monrovia. It is for people with low or no income to get food. They get a cart of food and we take it out to their car and load it for them. SO funny. One man that was there every time I walked by would say, "Oh girl you are beautiful. Oh. Girl. So beautiful" Lets just say AWKWARD! And then we were talking to a man about the church and he asked about what we did before the mission and I told him how I was student teaching 9-12 graders. He goes, "How? You look like a senior in High School." It was pretty funny. It that was all by 10:30am... great day.
5. Paula is still doing amazing! She is well on her way for March 11th. When we met this week she was telling us how she really liked the scripture in Alma 32:21 about faith. She just kept saying how beautiful it was and how it was so true. We talked about the restoration and the authority that was brought back. She was really attentive and accepted it.
6. The ward has given us a few names of people to check and we have officially checked them all. We have even already had a lesson with one of them. It has been fun to get to know the ward members and their reaction to sisters in the ward. We just keep hearing, "Oh we haven’t had sisters in so long! We are so happy you are here now!"
7. We set up a booth on Myrtle where this street fair is every week. Well we had a lot of people looking at us but we just realized today there is a spot for people of non profit to be. Sister Butler and I had an appointment at 7 so we left for about an hour and when we came back the elders told us they had a man come to them and tell them anti feelings. Poor elders. We are going to do it again this week so hopefully it goes better. And more missionaries so we can go walk and have some at the booth too.
8. We had mini missionaries are Saturday. SO fun! I was with Rachel Potter again. She was my first mini missionary every in the mission and we got to be together again a year later hahah We were able to set Chloe with her baptismal date, talked to a black J-Dub, a Russian Baptist with a HUGE Mercedes van with, "Where do you want to spend eternity? Heaven or Hell Your choice" plastered on the side of it, and we talked to a less active who was the nicest guy and being strong even though his family is not and apparently will not come back to church with him.
9. My favorite scripture this week… well it’s the book of Enos. Wow. I have read it a million times but I just need to be like him more hahaha I LOVE putting my name into verse 27. It becomes alive and real to me the promise that is given.
LOVE YOUA LL!!
