Wo. Is it really monday, again?
This week went by so fast!
Hmm. What happened this week? Well. Our
investigator, Melinda, she broke our hearts.
On Wednesday morning, she dropped us. We
were so sad! But, we kept working hard, and
prayed!
On Thursday morning, she texted us, saying..
"Just so you know, God works in mysterious
ways. Yesterday while job searching on the
internet I came across the name Brigham
Young. Then when I got home, I was channel
surfing, and came across BYU channel. I am
now recording a bio/video on Brigham Young!
Perhaps you're the seed planters, and the Lord
does the growing with me? What do you think??
Coincidences?"
UM. WHAT.
We read it 3 times, just to make sure we weren't
dreaming. We replied by saying, "Melinda, there
is no such thing as coincidence (: We know the
Lord is leading you to the path you need to be on!
What video are you watching?" She replied and
said, "I know you're right! He definitely is." And
then told us what video she was recording, but
we had never heard of it. We invited her to watch
the Joseph Smith:Prophet of the Restoration video
(btw..it's on Netflix and Hulu! #gomormons) We
also said that we would love to come over and
share more about what we know from these 2
men who diligently followed God.
She declined, but only because she likes the slow
pace that God is taking her. She's progressing! We
just can't technically count her as an investigator.
Also, today, before we went to Zone Sports, we
came to catch up on the newest stuff on Mormon
Channel, and she was in the computer room! (we
have a clubhouse). It was beautiful. We keep
running into her, every where. God is trying to tell
her to just meet with us! I know she will...soon (: I
can feel it!
Funny story for this week...(trying to laugh as I type
this)
It was 8:30 at night. We had gone through all of
our plans.. so we decided street contacting would
be effective. We started to walk, and as we did,
we quickly discovered that all of the sidewalks and
roads were covered in at least a half inch of ice.
FUN! We, literally, had to slide. We couldn't lift
our feet or else we would fall. Sister Haupt was
sliding behind me, I was starting to get some
speed when I hear "Wait! Ah..." I turn around to
see Sister Haupt sliding in place. She had
neglected to wear boots that day, thus she was
wearing Sunday flats.
*hanging head and shaking it*.
She couldn't get any friction, so she was stuck on
the smallest incline. I had to slide back to her, and
pull her up. It was the funniest thing! For the next
half hour, it was like watching a baby dear learning
to walk for the first time. I couldn't stop laughing!
My sides hurt so bad by the end of the night. I
finally had to slide in front of her so we could get
some work done. hahaha. The best part, we were
going down 2 steps, onto the main sidewalk. She
was in front of me. She stepped down to the lower
step, and started to slide, the panic on her face..
hahaha. She couldn't stop! I was on the top step,
still. Standing there helpless, because if I went for
her, we both would go down..no use in that!
hahahahahahaha. I can't even describe to you how
hilarious this was. I only wish we could've caught in
on camera. Every time I think of it I have to fight to
not laugh. hahaha. Oh man. Ice provides cheap
entertainment.
Well family, have a great week!
Oh yeah! It's my birthday this week!
Wo..23. I'm so old! I'm the 2nd oldest sister in the
mission. Weird, huh?
I used to be 3rd, but the oldest one returned home.
Anyway....
The church is true!
Don't ever forget it (:
I love you all, so much!
Keep on keepin' on!
