This
week's shout out goes out to the postal service. If you have time you should
write my companion.. she needs it more than I do haha
We are having a bit of a hard time working with our ward mission
leader. When he's no telling the members not to feed us, he is cancelling rides
that the Elders have set up for the day. We are struggling to work with him. He
has good intentions, but he also refuses to listen to anyone but himself.
We had an incredible FHE with a family in our ward. They are so
cute. There's a set of boy twins and a younger daughter. We spent some time
talking about burying our weapons of rebellion and how we could be more like
Christ. They really took to it. Then they started playing sports and dancing
and singing. Hopefully it was effective, they are the cutest! And then they
made us a rainbow cake. I didn't know how easy it was until they told me. You
can dye cake!
Last week was the 4th of July right? Embarrassing story. We were
invited to a member's home for dinner, and I forgot what house number he was.
So, me being all prideful and what not, led us to the first open gate we saw in
the general vicinity. I just walked right in, looked around, and no one was
familiar looking. So I slowly backed out and saw my companion just bust out
laughing at me. Turns out they were less active though, so it's a good
interaction with the missionaries, right? :)
We met with Kassie, who is the cutest ever. She recently got
baptized and she's on fire after girls camp. She's amazing. She loves the
scriptures and she's so excited. It was neat because we started reading The
Book of Mormon and her sister came downstairs (she's 9, her name is Max) and
she started reading with us. We had a great conversation and she was super
nice. Super cute. And her family is less active, but they are willing to
support her in taking her to church. What a blessing.

So the big thing of this week as the Brentwood Harvest Festival!
Formerly known as the Corn Fest. We had two booths, one for the gospel and one
for family history. It was really a great demonstration of how the members and
the missionaries can work together. They were at the booth with us talking to
people, and they kind of got to experience missionary work. Then we had a bunch
of missionaries in Mormon Helping Hands shirts asking if people needed help
with anything. We really got to know a lot of people and it was really nice.
People saw us and they recognized us as good people, not the people who come
knocking at random hours of the day. It was really a great time. And of course
there was music. So we danced. A little. Haha but my advertising was showing. No
one was coming to the booth. So I was trying to think of ways to get people
there. Most of the festival was outside and so we were inside in the back
corner. Kind of ridiculous. So I was moving around signs and I tried to have my
companion walk out with me and hold a sign but she wouldn't go for it. I just
thought it was funny.
This week's thought is about missionary work. We have such a
great gift, why aren't we sharing it with others? It's actually kind of rude.
Haha but for real, what's holding you back? I challenge you to think about it
and ask the Lord to help you overcome. He will.
Love you all!
