Well fan club—here’s the latest!!
Time has been FLYING- I received an email from a friend
reminding me of how long I’ve been out! Nuts!
Well- The weather has changed drastically! it is super hot- it
was a solid 95* and when you add humidity it feels like 100--110! :) haha. We
went to visit a less active and when I got in her house I was so dehydrated
that I almost passed out. The woman we were visiting was in the back room so Sister
Lee said a prayer, and I was able to make it for the next hour while we were
there. It was quite the experience :)
She is in a new religion now and prayed in what she believes was tongues. It was good for me to experience, to further
understand what other religions believe and do haha. I drank plenty of water
after that!
I got all the packages! Thankkkkkkks! They made me cry :) Amber-
Sister Lee was in the shower when I opened your letter in the box and the first
sentence was "go get sister Lee" haha so I put it back in the box and
waited for Sister Lee to be done so I could figure out what was in the box.
haha! We looooove them! :) We also love the iPod. I think my favorite part is the Alvin and the
chipmunks Christmas album.... haha there will be some music that I’ll have to
delete ;) thanks for putting it together dad and Amber. We were desperate! Haha. Also, thanks for the treats Dad- that
package made my week!
Linda is our latest investigator and she is keeping commitments!
She is so great! She was a HQ referral
and she came to church 2 weeks ago and then we met with her, taught the
restoration and committed her to baptism, she agreed to be baptized after she
comes to know its true :) She is the one I think I told you about that made all
the life changes. She is quite the
woman! She even agreed to cut our hair
or do our nails for free on p-day :) apparently. She is super good! So that is exciting. She heard in Sunday School
about the Word of Wisdom and is starting on her own without any prompting from
us to stop drinking coffee! COOOL, RIGHT?! She came to church again yesterday and LOVED
testimony meeting and nudged me and told me to go up too. So that was neat :) She even asked us why
everyone doesn’t know about the gospel! "Why aren’t there people holding
signs for this on the news!" toooo funny.... she’s great.
I have tried to apply mosquito repellant better- but you get out
of the car for like 3 minutes and get "swarmed" not really, but it
feels like it. I currently have a solid
25 bites. 19 of them are on one leg
haha. I guess one of my legs has better
blood in it or something ;) speaking of bugs- the fireflies are SO awesome! I’ve
never seen them until I got here!
We also go to businesses every day now and offer service to
them. The family owned businesses appreciate the offer :)
Elder Pulla, our DL, had a great idea to sing at a laundry mat,
so we went yesterday and sang then talked to the people there. I met a
man that said he was Christian, and I said very excitedly, "We are
too!" haha. He then told us how he
was looking for a good Christian church- and I just expressed how this one
would change him and his family’s life. We
exchanged numbers and we will see where it goes from there :) the Lord is
putting people in our path :)
Today we are going to have our zone activity- we are going to
the beach it should be fun. As long as
we don’t get in the water it isn’t against mission rules. Last p-day we had our branch missionary who is
a GREAT bargain shopper help us buy enough groceries for our pantry for only $100
between the two of us- so we split it:) It is nice to have some good things to
eat. I’m just super glad I don’t have to
cook it....
We knocked into this woman that seems not to be interested in
the church, but when we told her we would help her move she listened some
more (she had a for sale sign in her yard). Then she told us about a family member that is
a member of the church and she was excited to have us come and teach. She broke
her cell phone and because of the move didn’t have a land line, so we will go
back and talk to her again :) The neat part of that story is that the Lord
wanted us in that house, she didn’t invite us in until it started
POOOOURing- and as soon as it poured she had us come in, which allowed us to
talk longer. :)
We also passed out flyers for our blood drive and the
restoration fireside at the train station and passed out bottled water to go
with it :) It went well, we even witnessed
a man break into the train station lobby - a police man came to shut off the
alarm, I didn’t know if we needed to tell him what we saw, and the officer says
"what? You want him arrested?" and I was like "no- I just didn’t
know you if you needed to know what we saw". I never know if you have to tell what you witness-
especially since dad "yelled" at me for not staying when I saw the
man on his bike get hit by a car.
:)
Thanks for the prayers :) I really love it here!
Hope all is well!
Sister Freeeeeeze
