Happy Wednesday everyone!
Wednesday night was absolutely ridiculous! We had 3 set appointments
and we had to scramble to get 2 members to come out with us so we
could go on a split and make it to all of them! I went to 2
appointments with a sister in the Ward named Amanda, and Sister Fu
went to Sister Barnes with Nina. Our first appointment was with a
woman named Yvonne and let me explain a little bit how we got into
this mess! We had called Yvonne a few days earlier to ask if there
would be a time we could meet with her because missionaries hadn't met
with her in quite awhile, and she told us that she would call us back
and let us know if she would be available on Wednesday. So we decided
to schedule other appointments at that time because we didn't think it
was too likely that she would get back to us (our bad...). She DID get
back to us and said we could come over, and there was no way we were
going to miss that appointment, people don't call US to confirm very
often! Our second appointment was with a woman named June, and we had
called her a few days earlier as well to set up an appointment and she
said that we could come at 7:15 on Wednesday. But after Yvonne
confirmed that we could come over we thought we could call June and
see if she might've forgotten or if we could reschedule. So we called
and said who we were and she said, "yes, we have an appointment for
tomorrow at 7:15 right?" So, we couldn't miss that appointment either!
In my mind I was like, "why do we have all of the reliable people in
one night?!" No, it was awesome actually! Everything worked out
(almost) according to plan and we had 3 really good lessons on
Wednesday night:) Yay for member splits!!
Anyway, the rest of our week was really good as well:) We talked to A
LOT of people and we met some who were really interested in the
Gospel! I have loved he guidance we have had from the Spirit this past
week. I've really seen that as we just have the fair to open our mouth
to anyone that the Spirit will eventually start guiding us to those
who really are prepared!
A couple of the AMAZING people we met:
*A FAMILY who moved here from CHINA a month ago! I had no idea what
was going on because the conversation was all in Chinese:) But still,
what a miracle!
*A woman named Josie who sincerely thanked us for inviting her to our
church since she had been in the area for 6 months and had not had an
invite from anyone yet. She lives right next door to the church and
she says she is so excited to come sometime because she has met with
missionaries in the past!
*A man who lived in Utah for a few years who is in the process of
reading the Book of Mormon right now!! He told us that he has met with
missionaries multiple times over the years!
*A man riding past on a skateboard who came to a screeching halt so he
could ask us for a Book of Mormon, apparently he has a lot of LDS
friends from where he lived in Florida! Super cool:)
*And my favorite, a woman whose mom's side of the family is all LDS
and live in Utah! She knows a lot about the church already and is
interested! We got her address and phone number and we set up another
appointment with her!
Holy cow there are so many more miracles that happened this week! I am
floored by how many people have already had such significant
experiences with the church. Those seeds that we plant as missionaries
and members of the church DO grow! Keep it up:)
Love you all! Happy summer:)
Love, Sister Jones
