Heyo Fam!
This week has been great. We found a Potential Investigator.
Her name is Tiffany. She is legit! She has 2 daughters, 10 & 8
years old. She's divorced. In her 30's. And UH.MAZE.ING.
We met her when we were going to contact a referral.. we
walked down the stairs, she saw us, we saw her...you could
see she knew we were going to talk to her. She sat down on
the steps and started talking with us..She grew up Jehovah
Witness, but "that really isn't her thing", because she likes to
celebrate holidays ;) haha.
She asked us many questions about the 'culture' of Mormons.
She loves the fact that we have a Law of Chastity and Word
of Wisdom. She has always known that that is the way to live
life! We introduced her to the Book of Mormon. She said, "Whoa...
this a thing you didn't know you didn't know.." She was stoked to
read it! She then, of course, asked us our beliefs on same-sex
marriage. Obviously, this is a touchy subject, especially this close
to DC. But, remembering that I had brought a copy of 'The Family:
A Proclamation To The World", I whipped that baby out, and told
her we believed that marriage is intended to be between man and
woman. Her jaw dropped. I braced myself preparing for a lashing.
But then she said, "That's exactly what I believe!" She told us she
gets a lot of trash talk from her coworkers about it.We were floored!
Everything she said, we literally had to keep picking up our jaws up
off the floor. She's Mormon and doesn't know it!...yet ;)
She's amazing! We're going to be seeing her tonight. We plan on
inviting her to be baptized! WE'RE STOKED!!!
Something funny that happened this week..
We were going to find this Former. We knock on her door, we hear
someone look through the peep hole..He says "Shoot ya'll..white
girls be out here!" We're fighting the laughter already.. He opens the
door. There was a group of people, sitting in a interesting smelling
smoke ;) He was so happy to see us, and also so confused. hahaha.
We were dying! After explaining what we were doing there, his friend
comes up, taps him on the back and says "It's okay buddy, go sit down."
Looks at us and says "We just really don't know what's going on right now..."
hahaha you don't say? We just said "That's okay! Have a great night!"
We walked away and started busting up. Literally, this such an interesting
area. A LOT OF LAUGHS AND INTERESTING TIMES TO BE HAD (:
(I just realized I typed that all in Caps...oops. Eh, it brings more emphasis.)
Have a blessed week!
I love you all!!
