This last week has been crazy! But then again, every week is
crazy if you are doing things right!
Preparation day was boring as usual because all we do is
play volley ball and I find it boring. I am not good at it so if I play they try not to send the ball to me to be sent off in some weird direction. But all the other missionaries
like doing it, so I just take a nap on the stage of the church while they play
volley ball. And sleep is always good.
We passed off two male investigators to the
Elders last week, and I think it has been going well, and they gave us a female
investigator so that was great. On Tuesday we had District meetings
switch to Tuesdays and the Zone leaders came up to Lawrence
A carfull on Prep Day
On Thursday we met with our RS president that
Sister Payton worries hates her and talked about ways to best help our ward and
I think we all became good friends. Except they have a pet snake and
Sister Payton hates snakes so she was scared the entire time.
On Friday we went on a team up with the RS
president to go teach an investigator, but she wasn't there, so we went to go
find this family the first ward Sisters told us about that were less active and
had just moved into our ward. All we did was knock on the door, she
opened it, saw our name tags and without saying a word ushered us inside her
house! Their family hasn't been to church in a long time, but they seem
really receptive to members so we are hopeful and the RS president just invited
us over to her house this Thursday, which actually worked. :-)
Friday night we were over at the Italian
family's house, and we parked in their driveway, but the husband had to leave
for work halfway through, and we had him go outside to check if our car was in
the way for him to get out of the garage, and he said it was fine. But,
we went inside and he and his wife were totally in an argument! At first
I thought "oh man, Italian sounds super angry" because they were
talking in Italian so we "wouldn't know" they were arguing. But
then half way through I realized they were in a fight. About apple juice. Awkward to say the least.
So, when he left to go to his work thing, he
slammed the door and drove away. Or so we thought. He came back in a minute
later and said he hit our car! We thought it was just a ding so we were
all like "oh it's no big deal, don't worry about it" the whole night
to his wife who is the sweetest little lady ever! But when we went outside, the
bumped of the car was practically falling off! Luckily, on Saturday we
were able to have the elders bend it back into shape and it doesn't really look
so bad anymore.
Saturday was sister Payton's 21st bday! Super
exciting! She opened presents from her aunt, and most of them were
wrapped boxes of pasta! hahaha! We found a less active no one knew about
and taught her, went to lunch with a member for Sister Payton's bday and it was
super good Mexican food! The restraint people who sang happy birthday, put whipped
cream on her nose! hahahahaha. So great. And the Elders made sister
Payton "prison cake" that they learned from an investigator who
learned it in prison. hahahaha! It's basically mashed up Oreos and Mountain
Dew that you then warm up in the microwave.
Out to lunch for Sister Payton's Birthday!
On Sunday a less active we have been trying to
reach out to with no avail said she woke up that morning with an urge to come
to church. So she did. It was great!
So, that was our week full of less actives and
flaky investigators, but it could of been worse! I know that as you go
through trials, if you read the Book of Mormon it will give you peace and a
comfort of mind!
Love,
sister Robyn Cramer
