do i want to be transfered. ever. I LOVE GREEN BAY SO MUCHHHHHHH!!! seriously. to
the moon & back i love green bay :)
this week was a great week! we got some MISSIONARY WORK DONE :) :) :) aaaaaaand had parties and met great people and had TWO exchanges, asper usual....... exhausting :)
sounds like you all had a fun week! i'm still taking in that elisha is going to singapore!!! craAAAZzyyyyyyY!!! & so so so exciting :) :) :)
well i can hardly think what to write about first! WELL here is something exciting that i am especially proud about............. we visited EVERY. SINGLE. YSA. ON THE LIST. every single one. (get it? single? hahah......) yes but we really did. every address was visited. one house was condemned. one teenage boy was exCEEDINGly confused about why i was standing on his porch looking for someone else. someone yelled "NO THANKS" through the door but then a little girl was like "here i'll help you!" and then knocked on the door for us.... hahaha. and we met some wonderfully delightful people who are nice and open to coming back and i love them so much already!! also a cuuuuuuute hmong lady offered us her corn hahaha she did nottt speak english but we prayed with her anyways :) :) :) love her. Love everything about green bay. NEVER MAKE ME LEAVE.
anyways i was prrettty proud of that. missionary WORK. we were late to exchange back but i just really really really wanted to find all of them!!!! and even though we usually only find like one person a day, it's just like that scripture........ "and if it so be that ye should labor ALL DAY LONG, and bring but one soul unto me.... how great shall be your joy with him in the kingdom of my father" :) and that is so true!!!! how great is our joy indeed :) :) and Jesus taught "I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth... It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother... was lost, and is found." :) :) :) LOVE IT. go out & find the ONE!! i promise it is worth it :) :) :)
and alsooooooooo.... we had a BONFIRE last night!! and did it rain? yes it did! but did we have a great time anyways?? YES :) :) :) I loved it!! and there was no theme haha but we did watch a clip from indiana jones about FAITH and it was great :) :) :) so that was very fun and it was good to be with the good people from the area and also to eat STRAWBERRY S'MORES. i tell ya......... those things are like the good news of the gospel, because once you know about them you have to tell EVERYONE and you invite them to COME AND SEE and you show them how to make them and you beg and beg and beg them to try one and once they do their life is changed forever and yours is too and you just SPREAD THE STRAWBERRY S'MORE JOY AROUND THE WORLD. add fresh sliced strawberries to s'mores. that is it. but once you try it, beware.....
intense sadness will fill your soul that you have wasted [21.5] years of your life NOT eating them, followed by intense joy that AT LAST YOU HAVE FOUND THEM. and you'll never be the same. JUST like the gospel, i
tell ya :) whoops! pressed send :) anyways, it was a really great week :) (why do my highlights always
seem to revolve around food?? whoopsie.......)
i love the m*** family. i love everyone in green bay. i love the m***, the m*****, the e***', j*** h****, h****, m*** and n***, r*** who is getting baptized! and everyone. can't name them all. i'll just send you a ward list ;)
OH I ALMOST FORGOT. hahahahahah. okay, so this investigator, m****......... drops us after every appointment hahaha. she has dropped us 3 times now, and we just keep going back because this is
tooooo important! she'll text us and be like "sorry i can't have you come back ever and i recycled that book you gave me" or "i can't have any more visits or come to church ever" etc etc etc but we just ignore them and go back and she ALWAYS lets us in haha and then we teach and she feels the spirit and last time was the biggest drop ever but we went back and sang "I am a Child of God" for the opening song (i love music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and then she opened UP and told us so much and I FINALLY UNDERSTOOD HER (i never feel like i'm understanding people!!!) and we resolved concerns and she came to CHURCH this week and read SIX chapters of the book of mormon, all on her own, even though she originally told us the print was too small for her to read haha and she REMEMBERED & UNDERSTOOD it so yes!! :) :) :) :) :)
also, i love singing in lessons. it's my ultimate favorite thing. let's just have an opening song, read a chapter of the Book of Mormon, ask questions as we go, and then leave. boom. Spirit. yes. (also prayers of course) :) we sang with B**** too and it brought the Spirit big time, which is soooooooooo important. and it helps me to
understand them!! yes yes yes yes!! oooooohh i love it. never make me leave!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ohhh i just love being a missionary :) i love my nametag, i love my work, i love the people, i love everything about it :) :) I love the Spirit!! i love the miracles!! (I like feeling the Spirit, so we're going to sing an opening hymn - brother y*** love forever <3) i love teaching! i love these people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
miracle of the day: less than an hour ago we ran into our friend t**** who waxed sister erickson's lip last week, and there are like 23948 libraries in green bay but we picked this one since we haven't been in a while, and tammy said she got a text from a friend to be at the library at 11:30 but her friend wasn't there, but WE were, and did we talk to her about the gospel? yes we did and did she ask for a book of mormon? yes she did and will she read it? yes she will :) :) :) phone numbers exchanged, prayer said, spirit felt. BAM i love missionary work :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
