Im running out of greetings….
So i have some confessions to make…
This week we left a persons house and I started riding home and when we got to a certain intersection I stopped and waited for Elder Reed. (I tend to go a little too fast sometimes). Well after a couple minutes I didn’t see him and went back to go find him. I went ALL the way back to the house we were at, tried different ways I thought he could’ve gone, and still could not find him…Scary thought! I was just praying we’d meet up soon. I mean I knew we would meet eventually, (We sorta live in the same room), but My thoughts were, “What if a member saw me without my companion?” Awkward… We eventually met up as I started back to the apartment. As soon as we met up, out lunch appointment drove up and said, “Hey we’re still on, right?” and I was like, “Ya, we just got a little turned around!” Haha
We taught a Lesson 1 to a Former investigator named Linda. It was going really well, but she didn’t understand the Apostasy and she knew the priesthood was given to more than just the apostles – so when the apostles died she figured others had the authority. I didn’t know quite how to explain it to her in a way she would understand, but as I started, I explained it in a way that I have never thought of before – The spirit works wonders!
I hit my 6 month mark this week and I burned a tie (One a missionary left) on a barbeque in a park close by! Cool stuff – Still a pyro…these desires will never go away! haha I took a video… Ill have to get it to yall soon.
There is an Airpark in my area that has some members living in it, so when we went to go visit, we had personal planes swooping over our heads next to huge homes, so cool!
So it sounds like my mom has told the story already, but Ill go ahead and tell my side. We had a member refer their neighbor named Bill to us basically just to see if he’d be interested and we got talking to him and he just randomly said that he had a friend on facebook say her son was “Witnessing” in Corinth and to be nice to him. He didnt think anything of it, but I was like, Wait, whats her name? and when we figured it out, we were pretty amazed! So he said he’ll have to invite us over for dinner sometime! Definitely a good foot in the door.
Another funny story: We went to the Irving’s home for Conference on Saturday and Sis. Irving had texted us before and asked what snacks we want and I said muddy Buddies! So when we got to their house, I made the muddy buddies as Elder Reed cooked the bacon. The prayer was about to be said, so Brother Irving told his kids to be quiet, his wife to stop what shes doing and then turned to Elder Reed and said, “Can you silence the bacon?” and Elder Reed turned to the bacon wondering how to stop the sizzling and then Bro Irving and I laugh as Bro. Irving said, “Just kidding with ya!” Bacon cannot be silenced.
