So funny moment of the week: we went to go see
a referral from the Spanish elders and talked to them for a time. Since
there was no room on their street to park, we had parked on a different street
and walked to their house. After, we hop in the car and go to see a less
active that wasn't home. So I put the next person into the GPS and we
arrive...in the exact place we had been parked before! I had accidentally
parked right in front of her neighbor's house without realizing it!
Also, super exciting news! So Mark and
Markie Gay are a brother and sister we have been teaching. They are 15
and 13 and they were about to get baptized sometime ago, but their mom called
salt lake and said her kids cannot get baptized!! So we have been trying to
get her permission for a very long time and she finally signed the paperwork
this week!! Brother Gay got up in testimony meeting and got all emotional
as he said that he had been given the very best New Years gift ever; the signed
paperwork for Mark and Markie to get baptized.
Our district also got effected by transfers
because they took sister missionaries out of High Point! :(. Now there are only
two sets of elders there so our district is two sets of elders and us now.
The new elders are really funny though!
Also, weird moment of the week! So when
Sister Tenney was here, we were biking one day and see this man sitting on his
porch and he calls out to us and we pull into his driveway and start talking to
him. And it was really strange because he knew some thing's about our
church, but also had some confused ideas. We also met his sister Mary.
They are both there to take care of their mother. Anyway, when we
got home, I looked Jerry up on our i-Pads and turns out, he is a member! So
this week, Sister Shepherd and I decided to drop by and check on them.
Mary opened the door and we started talking to her and at one point, she
mentioned her daughter who has five kids. We gave each other weird looks
and asked her daughters name. Sure enough, she is Betty's mom! So
strange! It is a seriously small world! Our current plan is to
teach them, all and help them get baptized! And bring Jerry back to
church!
Brother and Sister Roma also took us to eat at
the Olive Garden this week we just love them! Sister Roma is a convert of
a little over a year, but you would never know! She is in the relief
society presidency and is the sweetest lady ever! We also met a really great
man, Brother Pierce, in our apt complex. We met him before Christmas twice and
the second time, he told us we could come back and see him again and gave us
his address. Then, last night, we went and knocked on his door and this
older lady answers and says she doesn’t know him and come back a different
time. So we leave and start walking around again. And then Brother
Pierce catches up with us a few minutes later and told us about how confused he
had been when he was told "two girls who smiled a lot were at the door
asking for you" it took him a minute to figure it out, and then he knew it
was us so he put on his jacket and came looking for us. During our
conversation, he asked us if he could meet with us and learn more about the
Book of Mormon. We are going to go see
him tonight with Sister Dolly!
Anyway, I hope y’all have a fantastic week!
