Slurpees for Souls

Thank you so much for my package! I got it on Saturday, and we've 
been coloring in our lovely coloring books every night after planning (:
It's so great.  I LOVE the Paul Mitchell stuff! Smells so good. haha. 

Alright, so this week.  First thing is first..
Unfortunately, Maria did not get baptized this past Saturday.  Some 
stuff came up, paper work and such, that needs to be taken care of, 
first.  Hopefully we can get that all sorted out, so she can receive the 
Gift of the Holy Ghost!!

Miracle of the week!

We had an awesome week.  We really concentrated on asking for 
Referrals! For some reason, it's so darn flabbin' hard to remember
to ask for a referral from everyone! So, this is what we did.  I wrote 
2 R's on my watch to remind me, then..  We set a goal. We agreed 
that if we asked for a referral 5 times, we could get a Slurpee from 7/11. 
Well, dag nabbit.  WE DID IT.  We were so proud of ourselves.  And the 
2 referrals we did receive we have appointments with!  We're stoked
It just goes to show that as long as we do our part,  Heavenly Father 
will provide! 

Okay, Funny Story of the week!

We were out, Street Contacting.  We stopped to talk to this guy, 
Andre.  He is a born baptist. And has strong faith in Jesus Christ.
He was awesome. We were having a great conversation about Jesus,
and how people speak his name, but don't act like their Christian, 
when this shirtless, drunk guy passed us, got about 15 feet away, 
and just watched us talking to Andre.  I'm thinking "What the heck? 
Whatever. We're talking about Jesus."  He kept scooting closer and 
closer.  He finally came up and said "What? You talkin' bout religion 
or somethin'?"  We all say "Yeah!"   And then I said "We're talking 
about Jesus!" I was about to invite him to join, when...
He started accusing Andre of being muslim.  He started yelling at him 
saying, "Don't be talkin' muslim round here! Don't be talkin' muslim 
round here!"  Andre looks at him, puts his hand up, as if to block him 
out, and says to us, "Do you see what I'm talking about?" 

We couldn't laugh right then. But, oh my goodness. It was hilarious! 
The drunk shirtless guy stomped off, and we continued our conversation. 
When Andre's bus came, we continued on as well, but we had to stop for 
a good 5 minutes and just laugh!  Haha, the things you see on a mission. 
I love it. 

This week has been pretty darn great.

Oh, and today, we're going to Inner Harbor again! 
We'll be sticking to the Touristy part though... (: 

I love you family!!

The church is true!
