The Hustle! (May 26, 2015)

Thank you all for the letters and packages they have been great! I love them very much!

This week is pretty much another week!

So this Sunday we had 3 investigators at church.  It was fun but kinda frustrating...... Don't judge! Here's why: we had one who was really our own.  She was great and then you have this one guy who shows up pretty much every week and and talks about the Mormon women and how great they are.  All the girls there got harassed from him with hugs and hand shakes it's gone to far!! But we love him!

Another man that works at Wal Mart (he's the greeter) we saw him and he told us he was coming to church this Sunday. I had zero faith and didn't think he would show but without fail he did!  He was great but has a little bit of autism and my patience was tested... Let's just say I'm now studying patience a lot more... Here's why it's hard... neither of these men live in our area so we cannot teach them and are not sure if they progressing.  It's hard okay!! Life is hard!!! Just kidding!  That's all I have to worry about I'm pretty good!! Hahaha I love it!

We had mission conference this last Friday and it was great!  President Craven threw down cause he's leaving  soon and wants the mission to be in line so we talked about what's going stray in the mission!  My favorite comment comes from Elder Carter! Let me first give some back ground in the meeting.  He's wearing the old person sun glasses that go over you're normal glasses! In the meeting!!!!!   He's brought this up the last couple meetings! In the white hand book it talks about sister missionary's not wearing tight clothing so he stands up and says "well sister missionary's are wearing tight yoga pants! So Sister Craven stands up and let's him know that both elders and sisters need to watch how tight their clothing gets!!  It was great! I love mission conference!!! He then had a Q and A and I learned a lot!!

Self defense!! So this man some elders are teaching said he would teach us some ninja moves.  He runs his own place here in this area! It was a blast! Pretty much learned "wax on wax off" kind of a lesson but I can't wait to get in a fight now!!👊💪 ! Hahah He called it LDSD latter day self defense!

Yesterday for Memorial Day we went to a less active members house and played bocce and cooked out!  It was fun!

Awkward story of the week!! We showed up at a less actives house and they had two men over.  It was kinda awkward from the get.  We tried to start a little convo and it wasn't happening so we asked if we could share a quick message and they said yes!! Let me take a step back now... these two man work for Vivent and one was from Utah (probably a member that hates the church)! Back to the story! He stands up and says "we have to leave" and walks out.  The less active members were asking why and asking you're not gonna stay for dinner and they just bounced.  It was so awkward.  So here we are with this awful feeling with only me  and Elder Blackett and two woman so now we're breaking rules, but it was whateves.  We shared a message and had a great discussion and they said this is what they needed! It was uplifting to know I'm a represent of Jesus Christ and to watch this man know he was doing things he shouldn't be doing and run out! I feel happy🌺

I love you all so much!!  Keep the faith... it will pay off!!!!
