Ciao Famiglia,
First, questions. One, is Jack working at Marshals yet?!? Two, when
can he put in his papers? Three, how is Trek planning going? Four, why
didn't you bring Charlie to Maine, he and Gretchen would have had a
blast :p. Five, how is Girls Camp planning coming?
Ok, I'll probably think of more, but for know, I'm satisfied. Oh, be
prepared: the day I can call home is Mothers Day! I'm not sure
what day that is, but that is the day, and I feel like it is soon...
This week was much better. Well, not work wise. We saw a total of 4
people, and they were all on Saturday and Sunday. We had so many
appointments, we were not sure what we were going to do. And then,
one by one, everyone canceled. It was crazy!
But we did see some miracles: We had
just had 2 appointments cancel basically at the door, and we couldn't
call anyone else.
We had already walked like all the way down the
hill, so it was frustrating, but a day in the life. We tried to do
some finding, which is basically handing out English Course cards to
try and get them to come. We saw this woman with these pretty
flowers, and we asked her where she go them, which turned into a 30
min conversation. We found out that she has seen the missionaries
before, but no one has ever talked to her, she was interested in
learning more! Unfortunately, she was about to change contracts with
her phone, so we didn't get her number, but we gave her ours, and we
hope she calls!
The second miracle: This one goes way back. A month
ago, we did this fireside to try and get members interested in
missionary work. After, a member cam up and gave us a referral. She
was kind of weird about it, because she just gave us the general area,
and told us to go knock on some doors down there. So we tried like 3
times, but nothing. Then, on Wednesday, a lady walks in for the quit
smoking class the Anziani are doing. She was the only one who showed
up that night, so they taught her the course, and she was actually
interested in learning about the gospel, because she has a friend that
is Mormon. The Anziani invited her to institute, and she came in
Thursday. After English course, we were called in by the teacher of
the class, and we ended up talking to this woman, who gave us her
address, and number. It was the same address as the referral! And
then on Sunday, we asked this member if this was the person she wanted
us to find, and she said it was! It was crazy! So, we are going to
have an appointment with her this week!
Nothing big happened, but a good amount of small things.
Vi voglio bene!
