I don't even know what has happened, it was such a whirlwind!
Monday:
For preparation day on Monday we decided to hit water front by the ZL's request that we have a day with the zone. Haha we trek up there only to get caught in a massive rainstorm. That was ok it was just a lot of jalan-jalaning in the mall there. On the way back though we got our p-day adventure when Sister Leavitt's bike got a killer flat and we spent the night in the apartment trying to take the tire off and find the leak. (We had to laugh because in the previous week we had to go to the bike shop to repair her bike and gravity had gotten the better of me almost everyday. Elder Scott had noticed a pattern and told us if your bike breaks you are going to get a miracle.)
Tuesday:
This was such a killer day! We did work. After district meeting and taking Sister Leavitt's bike in for a new inner-tube we booked it to go see our investigator Shana and had a lesson taught about tithing, it wasn't an amazing lesson, but we realized really quickly her comprehension of what we were teaching, and it was small. She wants it though, so bad. After her lesson we litterally had 2 minutes to race to our next lesson with Jessie a newer investigator that sends slightly weird sms's and taught her the restoration, no matter how many times I teach the story of Joseph Smith I love it more and more each time. After her lesson we went to a handicap facility that Sister Hales and I had been to a couple times previous to see if there was weekly service we could give there. I am so glad we checked! We can go any day we want between 2 and 5 and visit with those who stay there. It's such a simple thing to do but it was such a blast! I loved every minute of it! Then it was dinner time and we were able to go and visit our investigator who owns a burger stand to give him a reading chart and to contact in the vicinity. It was a blast.
Wednesday and Thursday:
I will give you the highlights because I am realizing time is winding down! Haha! WE FINALLY GOT SHANA TO THE KDC! She is unable to have sundays off which means she cannot be baptized, so we wanted her to come the the chapel and to feel the special spirit there. I am 100% positive it worked and her desire to come to church is growing. So grateful for members with cars. We also got to visit a LA who is my age with a couple of the youth/ysa from the branch and it was such a fun lesson. We "pretended" to teach them the Restoration and got in some major BTR.
Friday:
We had a lesson with our investigator that owns the burger shack and it was 2 hours long, and one of the hardest lessons I've had on my mission. We may have accidentally dropped him. By accidentally though I mean we weren't planning on doing it, but the spirit was! It was ok, but I am pretty heart broken about it!
Saturday:
My branch is AMAZING. so to start off the day we went to the senior couples home to make cream puffs for branch bowling that night, it was a blast and I absolutely adore my elders and the senior couple. Then we went to bowling and the members had brought 10 non-members with them. We were able to bowl, have fun, and get some major missionary work in! It was great and I am so stoked to call all the referrals we were given!
Sorry this was rushed towards the end, but I am running out of time! I love you all so much and I love this work!
Sister Lou!
