On Monday we carved pumpkins with our district. That was really fun, turns out I'm really terrible at carving pumpkins. We carved the Gospel of Jesus Christ into the pumpkins. I also got my a CD from Haley today and it just made our week super great!
On Tuesday we got to go door knocking in a trailer park which is always fun! We ran into a guy named M. who gave us all the down low on which of the trailers were meth houses... I love three rivers! We had some solid lessons with Enrique and Janelle.
Wednesday we took pictures of our pumpkins at district meeting and then the elders thought it would be fun to punch the pumpkins. So that was really entertaining to watch. Oh haha awkward story number one, Sister Edwards and I were knocking doors and we were on someone's door step and I remembered something funny and I yelled "Haha the Bum Joke!!!" really loud and then I felt embarrassed so I said, I hope no one answers, sure enough they did and heard the whole thing. (Awkward moment 1) We then had a lesson over dinner and it was a challenge because we were eating on their couch and Spongebob was playing while we were trying to have our spiritual thought, which was distracting... and awkward (2)
Awkward moment three happened on Thursday. While we were doing weekly planning our buzzer rang (which is terrifying) and a guy came to give me my boots (Thanks mom!) and he asked "Are you 12" (which is our apartment number) and I thought he was asking about my age so I said "I'm more than 12"... he gave me a really funny look. So that was number 3. Number 4 happened when we were walking and we saw our investigator J. in the back of a cop car while we were walking. We were worried but he's fine, however his friend M. had to go back to jail though... Awkward number 5 was that I ended up talking on the phone with a guy who was SUUUPPPERR drunk for about a half hour. He was telling me about how he used to meet with the missionaries but they said he had to wait to be sober to be baptized. He said "How was I supposed to do that? I'm always drinkin, I'm drunk right now!!" It was super entertaining.
Friday was Car fast day! That is always a pleasure! A member gave us a ride to our lesson with J. (who is great) and then we wanted to door knock farther away because we've door knocked all the closer streets so we had her drop us off in family dollar and we ate our lunch in family dollar which was fun! We walked A TON that day. Then we had a super great lesson with J., she is still working toward baptism.
Saturday we got to sing at an old folks home. It was so funny because we sang two songs and the people in front were like... "Is this all?" and got up and left. They didn't like our singing... (Awkward number 6). But I felt a little better about myself because an old lady was really shakin her booty when we sang "come thou fount". Also we met our investigator Enrique's mom at a block party which was fun. We also got pumpkin blizzards from some members Sister Edwards old area who came to visit her.
Sunday...awkward moment number 7, we went to a priesthood meeting because we thought it was ward council. That was funny. We met with this cute old lady B. after Church and she gave us sweet roles! We got to give her a Book of Mormon. Also we had a super great lesson with E.! He said our church gives him more peace than any other church!
Also my camera is broken and I don't know what to do!! So sorry there is no pictures!!
Well life is great! I love being a missionary and I love you all! Stay safe!!
Fun fact: The last 4 days this week on the last houses we knocked on all 4 of those days were all people who needed a prayer, so we got to say a prayer for 4 people on 4 door steps. It was so cool, I love doing that as a missionary!
