“Suddenly my dad looked like Nicholas Cage and became a terrorist.” (Week 20)
This email is probably going to be the least
exciting one because I just had P-day on Wednesday, and not a ton
happened between then and now, but I will do my best.
So on P-day after emailing we went to the park
and played sand volleyball for a good while. I think it was a mix of the
rocks and stick that were in the sand, and the fact that some Elders
get a little too excited when playing games, but three people ended up
bleeding. Everyone is good now though. After p-day ended at 6, we drove
to a member’s house, and they came with us to a lesson with our
investigator C. Her fiancée L was supposed to be there but he
had work. The lesson went awesome! We talked about the importance of the
Book of Mormon, and read some with her, but she is reading a ton on her
own. Her and Lee have read 13 chapters in like a week and a half and
that is so rare from investigators! Things are just working out. She is
close to getting a new job where she doesn’t have to work on Sundays,
and they are talking about pushing their wedding date up so that they
can get married sooner. Then after the lesson the members took us to
Jimmy John’s and we found a funny sign.
Thursday we did service at the USS KIDD, then we
went to visit this less active in a group home, but when we got there
she politely asked us not to read or pray with her, and just to leave,
because the demons in the room can read and hear, and she would be held
responsible if they got inside our head. So we left. With the free time
we had suddenly we tried some referrals, then went to a lesson with
J and V. I had been a few weeks since we had seen them, and
they hadn’t kept their commitment of reading, so we read some with them.
Then we got a text to go to the library to read an email from President
Varner, and turns out WE ARE OBSORBING THE JACKSON MISSISSIPPI MISSION
minus the Shreveport stake ON JULY 1ST LIKE WHAT THE HECK!
Our mission is literally going to double this summer. This is really
cool and exciting but it also kind of freaks me out. But all will be
well. The Lord has been preparing President and the rest of the mission
for this change.
Friday Sister Bell was sick so she slept for a few hours while I painted. Eventually we went out and found a referral from a member who was interested in family history. She is pretty cool.
Saturday morning was also a little bit less
productive. The rain came down like crazy, and the roads were flooded,
so everyone cancelled in the morning. We did have fun playing out in the
flooded parking lot. Closest we can get to swimming.
Around lunch time though we went to get ice cream for one of the Elders
birthdays. That was fun.
Then we spent a while trying to find some less
actives that the ward mission leader asked us to visit. Everyone was
either not home, or divorced from the one member that used to live
there:/ Then that night I had the funniest dinner appointment ever. It
was with the Jacobs who feed us regularly, and they brought their
non-member friend who I’ve met and I just love. But the conversations we
were having were just the weirdest and I was crying laughing.
Sunday L and H (C’s daughter) came
to church!! C couldn’t come because she still doesn’t have that
new job yet. But L participated in class, and H made friends in
primary, and it was pretty exciting. Then we weekly planned that night.
Today we might be going down to Cajun village,
and tonight we have a New Member FHE at the Bishop’s house which I’m
pretty excited aboutJ
I somehow wrote much more than I thought I would.
Also! We are getting phones this week (or next week) and I am really
excited!!! So I will be able to read emails during the week, and watch
videos that people send me easier (so please send them) and I will be on
Facebook!! And next week is transfers so p-day will be on Tuesday, and
if anyone just happens to be planning on sending me something, either do
it really quick, or wait until I am able to let everyone know if I
moved or notJ Okay now I’m done! I love you all!! Keep me updated!!!!
