also loves theater and we quote movies all the time ( apostate!) but
we have good fun. The sister training leaders (STL) are like the zone
leaders for sisters. We go on exchanges with he sisters, make sure
they're doing okay and go to the leadership training meetings with the
zone leaders. That's about it. This week we're going on 2 and I'm
pretty pumped.
I also like Santee. It is one of the sketchier areas I've been in. Our
neighbor is a pretty sweet old man but he did ask if he could have our
hair when we cut it. Last night we got offered weed but, hugs not
drugs! And last week we street-contacted a really nice man, then
another man pulled up next to him. I don't think they knew each other,
but he overheard our conversation. Then they started yelling at each
other in Arabic and things got pretty heated so we just kind of snuck
off...but all is well!! We did see a lot of miracles though!
A TON of people came to the fireside! Including all of my friends from
Penasquitos!!! We also street contacted this woman, O, twice!!!
Both times she knew it was a sign from God that we ran into her but
she wouldn't accept our message because God would lead her to where
she needed to go........uh......HE JUST DID!!!!! Anyway. Sweet lady.
We are probably going to go help her with her yard sometime soon.
Miracle number 2 is we met another woman in her front yard gardening.
Another super sweet lady! She said she's more spiritual than religious
but she does believe the base of God and all religion is love. Yes! I
think people misunderstand sometimes. God doesn't deliberately punish
us when we do wrong. Bad things still happen to people who don't do
bad things. It's just a part of life. But he loves is enough to give us
things to overcome and see the bigger picture and progress and learn
and change and just be happy!!!! After we chatted, Sister Wilde reached
in her bag and said "We want to give you something" and without
knowing what it was she said "yes I want that"...it was the Book of
Mormon. It proves that God is love.
3rd cool miracle, we added a new investigator who is atheist! We also
street-contacted her and she was super nice! She invited us back and
got us lemonade. We talked with her about the same things with the
woman in the garden about how God is love because she thinks the God
of the bible sounds like a jerk. But she said "I want to make it
perfectly clear. I'm open to changing my beliefs I just need proof".
Again the Book of Mormon! If anyone has any thoughts or ideas or
experiences we could maybe share with her that would be awesome! Let
me know ;)
