O my goodness!! Sorry!!!! Everyone wants pictures! But it stresses me out because the computer literally shuts off after 1 hour!! And you know me. It's just a struggle when it comes to figuring out the camera and cords and all that. So I'll try really hard to figure it out! I always panic when I get here to the library. But, I'm glad mom gave in and finally sent me a picture. You guys are adorable. I love it.
Life is great. Sooooo crazy. Always an adventure. My companion and I get lost approximately 800 times a day. Vancouver is huge! And we locked our keys in the trunk the other day, too. That was fun.
I hate it when people are rude to us and slam the door. I don't think I'm ever going to become immune to that. So every day is pretty emotional. haha. But, I'm slowly learning that we aren't here to teach EVERYONE. We are here to teach the people that are prepared. And you can totally tell who is prepared. There are so many times when we have been teaching people and they will say things like, "That's crazy that you came by today because I was just reading a little bit in your book yesterday," or little things like that. SO COOL.
Ya. EMOTIONAL. Not even just day to day, but within the day. We will be totally stoked and high on life and then the next second be crying because of lessons.
Hardest day in the mission:
We were so excited because we were planning on asking two people to be baptised. Our lessons were all planned out and they were really great investigators.
This lady has been taught by the missionaries so many times. She's had every lesson plus some. Tons of different missionaries have taught her. She still doesn't come to church. We set it up so someone would pick her up and take her to church. Members are so great in helping her out and Hermana Garcia comes to the lessons with us. We were super excited and when we got there and started teaching it all went DOWN HILL. Both of us during the lesson knew we were going to have to drop her. Wouldn't commit to a date and it's been several times that she's been asked to be baptised. So we were super sad about that.
Then, we got in the car to go to our next lesson with Maritza and her mom called us and canceled. We were so excited about her lesson because she seemed to be really interested but her mom just keeps getting in the way. AND our phone died, so we couldn't call Hanny, the member that was coming to the lesson with us, to tell her not to come. We stopped at a gas station to try to call Hanny. She didn't answer, so we left a message and prayed that she would get it in time.
I'm on the verge of tears and: Tender mercy. TAYLOR SWIFT WAS PLAYING. I know I know, it's the small things. Also, guess what else happened. Hanny's dad told her she couldn't take the car so she ended up not driving all the way to the lesson! Oh man. God is great.
We are teaching the cutest little girls ever. They are adorable. 8 and 9. They call us to say hi and see how we are doing. Love them. Also, there are these little girls in our ward and they drew us little pictures and cards. Um SO CUTE. I just about die every time they give us little notes.
