"By the way, do not expect the world’s solutions to the world’s problems to be very effective. Such solutions often resemble what C. S. Lewis wrote about those who go dashing back and forth with fire extinguishers in times of flood -The Screwtape Letters. Only the gospel is constantly relevant, and the substitute things won’t work." Maxwell

So we had exchanges this week and I went to Guilford with Sister Kenyon.  And I have never knocked on so many doors of people who do not speak English!!  It was crazy!  The first one we knocked on, a man opened the door and we were trying to ask him questions like where he was from and he was saying something like Ospitel and we were like, ummm, where is that?  It took a while but we finally determined he was telling us his brother, the owner of the house, was in the Hospital! haha.  That was fun.  And then we knocked on another door with a lady who spoke Spanish.  So she was really sweet and let us in, but there was a major language barrier!!  And her two kids were sitting there eating and the little boy starts choking on his chicken!  So she grabs him and hurries him into the back.  So we are just awkwardly sitting there...After a few minutes, she comes back with him and he sits down, and proceeds to throw up in his bowl.  Yep.  That was definitely... memorable!   And then we went to a lesson where the grandma and the grandchildren are interested.  Only problem is, the grandma only speaks Zo (or however you would spell it.  They are from Burma).  So the oldest, a twelve year old, has to translate for us! We mostly used the pictures and short simple statements.  They are a really cute family! :)

Anyway, those were the three most memorable.  We talked to people from all over the world that day though!  And pretty much none of them spoke English!  There were a lot of Muslims though, so not at all interested in a message about Jesus Christ.

Also this week, we knocked on a door and a woman on the phone answered.  So we just gave her a Book of Mormon card and she says, "oh, thanks!  I have one of these on the visor in my car!"  Not going to lie, we were both like, no way!  So as we were leaving, we checked the cars in the driveway, and sure enough, there was a Book of Mormon card!  Nice to know that people don't always just throw those away!

      Another time, we found a sweet lady and ended up teaching her the Restoration.  As we were getting ready to leave, we asked if she knew anyone we should go see.  So she told us one of her neighbors and his name so we went and knocked on the door.  And the man who answered wasn't interested, but he said we should go see one of his neighbors. When we asked for a name, turns out it was the lady we had just finished talking to!  They referred each other!  I bet that doesn't happen very often!

And I made cookies this week!  They were yummy!  Though the dough consistency is different from ones in Utah...more sticky.

Anyway, I hope yall are having a spectacular week! :)

This is us pushing sister Jessup's car so that she
can burn a pile of brush without catching the car on fire! 

Sister Loosle leaving me in the dust! She is crazy fast!
Especially when i am trying to bike and take pictures at the same time...

Another kitty friend-When sister Loosle was looking at these pictures,
she goes "the cat was that close to me? I didnt even notice!"
