Week 19 I love to see the temple....4-14-14


This week has been...long.  But we had some great things happen! We always do!  That's what I tell myself every night at least.
Monday: We were told it was NOT a full pday so we did things super fast, then halfway through the day we were told it WAS a full pday! So, we kind of just chilled at a member’s home and got our hair cut and took a nap at our house. We didn't get to do our laundry because we have communal laundry at our complex and some guy was using the two washers aaaaallllll day. Dang. But I took a quick nap so that was nice!
Tuesday: TEMPLE! We went to the Oklahoma city temple!   So now I have been in a  total of four states on my mission!  Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri and Oklahoma.  Too bad I had already been to all of them before. Lol   But it was super great!  It was smaller than the Sacramento temple, so that was weird.  We barely all fit in! But really.  It was like a 3 hour bus ride, they gave us the punyest lunch ever, and then after the temple we all rushed on the bus and had no dinner. Needless to say I was STARVING. But it was worth it. J
     
All of us sisters from the temple trip.

Wednesday: INSANE!  We had district meeting, had to plan for the week, and then had an appointment with our investigator who tends to take things the wrong way so we were SO worried about it. BUT IT WENT SO WELL!  Tons of potential. She had questions about things even she realized are misconceptions (skin color being considered evil? which is of course not true, polygamy..the usual) and so we explained. And then invited her to be baptized. Not yet, but maybe one day she will accept!  We had another apt but we got there late because the last one took too long so she wasn't home. L our fault.
Thursday: Our little old lady investigator who is a sweetie took us out for lunch at Pizza Hut. We then did service for her and tried to teach her a little. She says she thinks it's true, but I am not sure how much of it she understands... 
We were able to get a hold of a less active couple that we never could before! So that was great! And then we taught another less active couple and they came to church on Sunday! (and make the nastiest banana bread.)
Friday: We had NOTHING to do!  So we knocked on doors. And we knocked. And we knocked. The only people who were home were old people who couldn't hear us and Baptists. One of whom was a polite, but not interested Baptist preacher.  It was a long day. But then we had a lesson with someone so that was grand!  At dinner with the bishop he showed us a video which was funny, the bishop of all people would do that? But he is nice.
Saturday: We felt really strongly we needed to go see our neighbor Karen, so we did. And she had SO MANY QUESTIONS. it was my dream come true. And she always complements me so that makes my day!  We taught her the plan of salvation and she was into it! So that was grand!
We had the WEIRDEST LESSON EVER THAT NIGHT. Members had a nonmember over for dinner but wouldn't let us teach him but then wanted us to teach him? It was weird. On the bright side he was nice and talked a lot about smart things. idk. ha-ha
Sunday: Church. The less active couple we are working with came! We tried people but no one let us in, no one let us make a return appointment and it was just a let down. And then I had to eat fried food for dinner because their stove broke! I WAS SO SCARED I WAS GOING TO DIE! But I haven't yet. No promises :-) 
This week has been...good. Sister Taylor and I have taken to talking in accents. She is good at Mexican and I am good at Ukrainian and valley girl. 
Shocker at that one :-) hopefully this week will be better and more eventful! LOVE YOU ALL!

Life here is not that exciting.  Now that I  have amore normal comp. life isn't as crazy. Apparently Sister Payton got her ear ring STUCK in her ear! hahaha. And James was telling them how much God has changed his life and why people need to believe in him!    AHH IT makes me so happy!  I MISS LAWRENCE! SO MUCH!  But I am settling in here and will learn to love it here too.
