WOW! What an awesome experience. You went to bed at 1 in the morning, yeah you have church, but you stayed up anyways. But when you don't want to wake up and you get this really awesome text message, you get super excited... Guess who it was from? Come on guess... Alright I'll tell you! It was from the amazing sister missionaries in my ward. I got to go out today with them. We went out and taught the gospel. There's no doubt that we got some turn downs, and some "no, thank you's", but we kept going onto others for lessons. One thing that kept standing out was the missionaries saying, "We just wanted to come by and share the gospel with you and to share with every person that we meet." Even though it was Sunday, missionaries don't stop. Its a daily thing. To preach unto the world this gospel for the latter days. In each house we offered up a prayer to leave them with, and in one house her name was Pamela, she shared a message with us, and told us how great we are to be out serving the Lord. It made me so much more excited to go on my mission. As we were leaving Pamela's apartment, we started to walk back to the car, and as we were walking we heard someone yell, " Hey are you guys those missionaries??", all three of us turned around and said, "Yes!" Remind you that there was a brick wall in between us and we totally were on our tippy toes as he stated how great we were to be out and to preach the gospel that we have total faith in. He kept saying "yeah, that John Smith guy" and we said, "Yeah Joseph Smith.." He kept saying it... It was so funny because we could feel our calf muscles cramping! But it was totally worth it because he said that we could come back.. Such an amazing experience to see all it happen.. And we had one other lesson that we were going to go, but we saw some people standing outside and we decided to just go up to them and start talking, and well we gave him a Book of Mormon and we asked if we could leave him with a prayer and asked if we could also come back and teach him and his family a lesson. It was so exciting and I was so glad to have that experience and I can't wait to go back out with them!
Ohhh and a couple of my friends took advantage of going to the temple on Saturday after work. We did some of my family names, and wow you could just feel the spirit! I am so glad that I have friends of the same faith and who have slightly the same goals! Not a day goes by that I don't thank my Heavenly Father for all of the wonderful things that He has given me, especially friends who are there by my side!
Alright!! Till next time!!
Love all of you!
