Well some fun news!

I have some fun news! I now have a mission daughter. That's right I'm a trainer, well co-trainer with Sister Mehew. It's been a week and it's interesting. But our Greenie's name is Sister Pickett and she's 25 from Layfette (?) Utah. She's pretty great and it's awesome to see another new missionary come out and see how they learn, it's great no matter the age. She's different in a good way. Haha. But I pray for love and patience everyday... Trios are definitely a BIG learning experiences, especially since my first area I was in a trio. It's kinda funny though with this transfer there are a lot of trios... I guess lots of people needed each other! BUt anyway.

Tuesday-

We had dinner with a member family who are great, and the husband was just giving us referrals like none other!!! We were asked to see their neighbor and then a lady that is like a grandmother to their kids...GREAT! We were like this is awesome, and I was like you trust us YES! And I think I told you about the referral that we got from Brother Massey in our ward. It's his step-daughter and her family. Well we tried to contact them but we couldn't find building Q...

Wednesday-

We picked up Sister Pickett and then went to the Shelter where we gave out 2 Books of Mormon to some other volunteers and one asked me about my conversion... I was like well let me tell you. It's was great how amazing and simple of a testimony that I was able to share about the Book of Mormon and prayer with her. She seemed a little interested but not a lot, her name is Sarah and we're hoping to run into her again while serving there. She's a freshman as FSU doing psychology. And then we came home and put our apartment together haha. We are in a two bedroom apartment but we all have to sleep in the same room so we got bunk beds from another area in the mission and the office elders 
came by and put them together... Bless their hearts. Let me put it this way we made them both climb to the top bunk and kinda jump on it to make sure it was put together properly haha. Anyway we lived haha. But that night we were able to get in with Mr. Jerry and Sister Hanchey and teach the beginning of the Plan of Salvation. And we got him to commit to baptism but no actual date yet! I extended but I think I did it too quickly. I just felt like someone needed to ask him if he would be baptized, it's a moment that needs some role play and more faith in the Spirit haha. But like I said Mr. Jerry said he would when he found out for himself what we were saying was true. And we invited him to church this week as well.....

Thursday:

Weekly Planning.... Oh my minah nossa... Well we got Weekly Planning done in record time which I 
thought I was going to die of shock... Like really, you have no idea... Anyway we were able to do that and then we saw a LA member Miss Molly. It was interesting. Then we got to see a DNC, do not 
contact. She was a referral and she was actually totally fine to see us and have us share a message with her. Great huh?! Well we found out that she has dementia but that she's got awesome daughters, who are both in our ward, that take really good care of her. Then we played some church basketball with a few none members. Goodness that was probably the most laughing I've done out of the MTC haha.

Friday:

We decided that we were going to contact the Clement's referrals! Go door approaches! Well we 

went to their neighbor's home first and we didn't get an answer but there was someone who had just gotten home so what do we do? We go on over to talk with her... Definitely wasn't interested BUTwe gave her a card so there was that! Then we went to go see the other referral, they call her Mom-Mom. They didn't want to tell her that they sent us because Sister C wasn't sure how well that would go over. It's was interesting seeing them... discuss... how they wanted to go see her haha. Anyway we were so ready to knock and tell her what we were doing and about our message... No answer! And there were people walking around in the house, that's not an awkward situation at all haha. But then I felt like we needed to knock on another door. We did, talked with her about eternal families for about 30 minutes and got a return appointment... Talk about awesome experiences!! This lady that we met is totally amazing. She's one of those women who is totally a mother to everyone. She helps college kids with their finances. Her name is Miss Debby and we're going to see her on Wednesday.

Then we went to try and ontact Brother Massey's referral again. Talked to the manager and they confirmed what we feared... No such thing as a building Q in their complex. Dang anyway we have 

her number so we're calling her today (Monday).

Later that night we also contacted a referral from another ward. She lives in our apartment complex. So we knocked and when she answered her answer right away was "My iron is on, sorry." and closed the door... Well at least we know right?
