Choose ye this day

Alrighty well sorry about this week but there are no pictures. I chose the wrong computer. And its USB slot is broken.  So it will be all up to your imagination this week.

  Not a lot has happened this week to be honest. We had one day that was pretty good.  We have two subdivisions in our area that are closed, because of the security. You can’t go in unless you know someone that lives there. And you have to know their name and exact address and all of that good stuff. And of course we didn’t know anyone there. But I just wanted to try anyway. Maybe because I don’t like when people tell me no. (I’ve got both Van Tassell and Stapelman in me, I can’t help it hah)   So we went and walked straight past the security guard...no problems.  It was too easy.  And did a little OYMing there.  And then we went to go into the other subdivision. That was a little harder.  The guard stopped us and we didn’t know anyone there so we just said we were going to the house "over there" and he let us through. So that was awesome.  Anyway we did finding there too and we ended up finding a few people. So now we won’t have a problem going back. :)  One of the people we found was because our ward missionary said she remembered teaching there one time. So we just went up and said tao po.  It’s so fun because you have no idea what you’re going to say and you just have to go with it.  Anyway this big guy came out of the house and I was kind of intimidated cause he just said what do you need? But we just oymd and talked and sure enough he let us in.  So that was awesome.  Also there was one rich house in our area and so we decided to go ring the doorbell and just talk. That was also scary but we just chatted and gave a Book of Mormon and he said he would let us in but he wasn’t the one who lived there. He was just the brother.  So he couldn’t. But it was still fun to just OYM and see what happened.

     We had kind of a rough week this week.  On Saturday we got punted from every appointment.  The highlight of my day was a little boy that gave me a high five. But everyone has those days. But I still stick to my theory that the hard days are the days when you learn the most.  So I’ll take a hard day once in a while.....but only once in a while haha. I will take a lot of good days too. 

     We taught one of our investigators and she has 3 kids. 3 yrs. old 2 yrs. old and 1 yr. old. We watched Finding Faith in Christ with her.  And in order to try and help her feel the spirit I spent the entire time 'entertaining' the kids. I hope it worked hah.  I just gave them water bottles and things to play with. I now know why dad had me go with the missionaries to baby sit while they teach. 

  Well that’s all I’ve got for today. I’ve renewed my theory that people that help missionaries receive a lot of blessings.  So let’s make this week say hi to your missionaries’ week.  That way you can get blessings and we can feel loved haha. Love you all so much! Keep on keeping on.

Love
