Oh man, what a week!
So as we speak I am sufficating of hobo and poop smell at the library. Welcome to Arlington Library...sooooo gross! I wish i could grab a wiff and send it to you so could could know of the pain and appreciate this email. :p so enjoy!
So this week...man oh man. I feel like I have just lost my mind. Literally! I can NOT speak for the life of me!
Wana hear the most embarrassing thing ever? Well, one of them, so we were at a members house teaching a member lesson but before we started we were just talking and i dont know how this got brought up but my dear, oh my dear sweet companion brought up my butt chin. Wait it gets better! When she brought it up I told Tierra, the member, that I hated my butt cheek....didnt realize what I said at all. Her younger brother who was in the kitchen looked at me and was like "wow! I totally tuned in that conversation at the wrong time!" STILL DIDNT NOTICE what I said! Still, it gets better, I start telling him what we were talking about saying how I hated my butt cheek. No. Big. Deal. I was so embarrassed! The whole family was dying. No worries, Sister Tilton just red face sittin in the corner. I'm famous in that house now. Ahhh....whats wrong with me!!!
Another thing! I tried to be as cool as Sister Fielding working out with her eyes closed while she was biking so I told her I could do that too as im running on the treadmill. No worries. Just fell off! Luckly I had the safety clip so I didnt get hurt. Haha! This blonde hair...it gots to go!
Now its time for biz! This week none of our investigators were able to meet with us so we had a slow little week. But we tried out this promise that was give, dont know by who though. When an appointment or plan falls through, knock 5 doors and theres a promise that one will hear us. Keep in mind Sis F has never gone tracting so she loved this ;) so our appt fell through so we were walking back to the car and she was getting in and I was like 'Sister Fielding! Time for tracting... >:)' (thats the face i had on) If looks could kill...haha!!! She was sooo mad! Soo funny!!! But it was all good, we knocked a door with i tell ya, a million random statues in the yard...you should see it! Texans...;p But the promise was true! We taught this guy named Thomas and he was so suprised that there was a prophet! Isnt that suprising that God does love us?! The world doesnt know this!!!! AHh! But we invited him to be baptized and were meeting with him this week! So were excited! :)
So theres this girl that we met this week that is now in our ward and she told us that she was going on a mission and is leaving in 6 weeks but is dreading it and trying to change it. She got called to Montana and doesnt want to go anymore because she feels like shes going to be discriminated and her mission president or anyone else wont understand or really care. She's black btw. It was so sad to hear the words coming out of her mouth. She literally thinks that God messed up on this one. How can that be?! Talking to her really made me realize how much I love my mission. No its not cool and exotic like Peru :p and im not speaking spanish haha:p but I wouldnt trade it for anything. This is my life! I love it. I look back at it all and just think howw blessed I have been and how trusting in God really makes the world of a difference. HE KNOWS!! Better than anyone. I love it!!
Have a good week!
