So last Monday, the sister training leaders
picked us up to take us shopping at Walmart. When we got there the
summit sisters were also there. We saw a
random man riding his bike the other way. I don't really know why,
but I waved at him and said hi. Then all of the sudden, he turned around and
came back asking us, "what are the badges?" Apparently he
had seen the elders before and was wondering why we were all wearing
badges. So we taught him the restoration right in front of
Walmart. And since he was in our area, we got a return appointment
with him. Anyway, his name is Jullien and he was born in
morocco. So he speaks Arabic, French, and English and was raised as
a Muslim. Then, when he moved to Europe, he converted to
Christianity but he was never baptized because, though he tried out a lot of
churches, he never found one where he felt God's approval. Good thing he met
us! :) Anyway, he came to church this
Sunday! And he said that he liked it and will come next
Sunday. We are giving him over to the elders since he is a single
male and lives really close to them.
We
also met a girl named Caroline. So we were at a street and decided we
would knock the doors that had cars in the driveway. So we started off
and at one point were walking past a car-less house when a girl walked
out. We weren't sure how old she was so we just gave her one of the
pass-along cards and kept going. A few minutes later, we got a text
saying something like "I was raised atheist and don't know who Jesus
Christ is. Two Mormon girls just gave me a picture of him and I want
to know more." Yep. That doesn't happen very often! Anyway, we also got pretty wet this week
since it was our bike week and it rained a lot on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday
(we got the car after church. Of course, it wasn't raining
then!). Haha. But it is definitely an adventure going downhill
really fast cause you can barely see where you are going! -- We
also have water all up our backs since the tires flick the water up... But it
is nice cause people feel really bad for us and are more likely to talk to
us. Oh and apparently I didn't say much about Sister
Loosle? Sorry about that! I must have told Sister Morris
about her but no one else... I keep doing that! But she is from
Austin, Texas though technically she was born in Utah and lived in Guam for two
years. She is addicted to M&Ms and went to USU before coming out here (apparently we were there at the same time...just didn't
know each other). She has four younger brothers and is lots of fun!
Anyway, hope that y'all are having a
great week!
