Hello everybody! How is everyone doing!? I am doing good except it snowed last night and today. I really am sick of the snow but that won't stop us from having a great p-day/ rest of the week.
So last Monday was pretty fun. I didn't play very well during basketball so that was very frustrating. We had a church tour with a family from our ward and that went really well. Before the church tour though we had a run in with the building manager and her got really mad at us for being there after 6 o'clock P.M. Even though we were doing missionary work. I don't really know what to do with him because he gets mad at us for something every week. The church tour went really well and then we had a good dinner afterwards. The family is really cool but they are on the Spanish side of the ward so we don't get to see them very much.
Tuesday was a good day. We were able to go to Taco Tuesday. It was raining that day but that was alright. We were planning to go to get pupusas at this restaraunt but they weren't open so then we walked to our normal taco place. I was happy with that because I was in the mood for tacos, a.k.a. meat. We got to meet another sister because they were on exchanges. Her name was Sister Hinckley and she is related to Pres. Hinckley. We had a pretty good but tiring day that day. That night we went on team ups with Bro Collins from our ward. We visited all the people we had planned and nobody was home. As we were at the last door I had someone come to mind but then when we got back in the car I completely forgot. It turns out my companion had the same thing happen. So we asked if our team up had anyone in mind and he told us the Bergerhofers. We went there and to our surprise someone from the bishopric was there with someone from the stake presidency. It was really cool as we were there they were invited to church. They said that they had been wanting to come back and that they wanted us to teach their 10, 9, and 8 year old daughters so they could get baptized! Miracle of the week!
Wednesday we had a pretty good day. We had a good lesson with this lady we met on the bus, Tamika. She has a best friend that is a RM sister. We got her all excited about the Independence Visitor's Center. She went to temple square and LOVED it and when she hear there was a Visitor's Center here just like there she was really excited. We had a good appointment later that night. We had a standing appointment with this newly wed couple and the wife has no background in religion. She is very sweet and really smart. She remembers everything we tell her and is reading the Book of Mormon so her testimony will come anytime. I am really excited for her but she just needs to get a new job so she can come to church on Sundays.
Thursday my companion and one of the Spanish elders was feeling sick so we went on exchanges. We had a lunch we went to and that was really good. Then we had some appointments we had to go to. We got to see a recent convert who just got out of prision. He was in there for defending himself and his girl. Kansas apperantly doesn't have any self defense laws. It was really good to see him and he invited us back for dinner next Wednesday. He is cooking salt and pepper shrimp!!! I LOVE SHRIMP! We had our team up cancel on us that night so we didn't go to far and tried to visit some people close to us.
Friday was a really good day. We had a good district meeting and then had a good lunch at Chipotle. It was a nice sunny day. We tried to take some brownies to our investigator because it was her birthday. She wasn't home so we will take them to her later. We cooked dinner for this lady in our ward that was in the hospital with a heart problem. All the 3 sets of missionaries did their part and it came out good. We cook brocolli and potatos and the sisters cooked the fish. It was really good. We also got to see that lady's grandson dance like Michael Jackson and do the "dougie". He is a funny little kid.
Saturday was good! We went to 2 baptisms, not ours but they were in our ward. I love going to them because they always have such a great spirit. We then had a lesson with Cedric and got him to commit to spot smoking as much. He is working to widle down his smoking so that is good. Elder Mena had a great object lesson that we used to show him he needs to start taking the steps. That Jesus Christ isn't going to take the steps for him but he will be there when we have done our part. We then helped the Spanish elders with some service and then had 2 dinners.
Sunday was a good day. I had to teach our Gospel Principles class and that went well. Everyone participated and so that made it a lot better. We then were invited over to someone's house for dinner and we helped then cook it. We also got their "rebellious" daughter to commit and start reading the Book of Mormon. It was really fun! I love that family! They are so good to the missionaries and they feed us almost every week!
Well I love you all!
