Family and Friends!!
Its been another awesome week in Edina! We have been working 24/7! its been awesome!! Sister Noe is such an awesome missionary! I have learned so much from her in the past like 2 weeks we have been companions! its awesome!!
This week has been packed with so many miracles! its been awesome!
At the beginning of the week, I thought this week was going to be long and kinda hard, because we had a lot of our appointments fall through and we have been doing A LOT of finding. But miracles have come from our finding! We have been able to talk to a lot of cool people and share the "He is the Gift" video! so that has been awesome..
Friday we were knocking doors in an apartment building and we got talking to a guy from Africa...he is here on a Volleyball scholarship for the U of M...we asked him if he had a smart phone..and know joke sat on his steps outside of his apartment and watched the video! After it was over, he said that there was a really strong spirit in the movie...we talked to him after about our church and invited him to come to the ward Christmas party on Saturday...i really hope he comes!!
On Tuesday we met a really cool lady, again from Africa...she was coming home from and we were knocking on her neighbors door and I started to talk to her...we got talking and she didn't seem into what we had to say and as she was closing the door I asked if there was anything we could do for her...she asked us what we meant by that and I replied that we loved to offer service like cleaning or shoving snow...the only problem with the last one was that she lives in an indoor apartment building...so she didn't have any snowy side walked so shovel...he eyes lite up and asked us if we were for real....she had been praying all day to know how she was going to be able to get her apartment clean before her friend from out of state come to visit...We were able to set up a time on Friday to go back and help her out! Its really cool how service softens peoples hearts...we were able to share a little message with her and she wanted us to come back to meet her friend! We went back on Sunday night to meet her friend, who happened to be from my companions home town! CRAZY, right?!? it was really cool!
We have been working with a lot of less active members and it kills me how many of them have served missions and have then gone less active when they have come home! I don't understand how someone could have such a spiritual and life changing experience and stop progressing...its so sad! But they are great people and have great testimonies..we just need to help them remember them! haha!!!
So, another really cool experience we had this week...we were looking through a list of people that missionaries have talked to in the past to see if there was anyone that stuck out to us.....sister Noe was looking down the list of names and she stopped at one....and said that we should call them...so I did! And he totally answered! I talked to him for a minute about who I was and asked if missionaries could stop by cause the note next to his name said that he lived in Richfield..that is out of our area, but we know the Elders that are in that area and we were going to sent them if we could set up an appointment. He said that he would love to talk to missionaries about Jesus Christ and made an appointment! I asked if I could get his address and when I gave it to me, it was in Minneapolis!!! and totally in our area! so we get to go to the appointment! it was so cool! Sister Noe was totally inspired to pick his name!!
We put up our Christmas lights and a little tree in our apartment! it looks so cute!! and then this morning I got a package from grandma with more Christmas decorations, you better believe we are going to put them up! I love Christmas decorations! they totally help bring in the spirit!! This is the best time of year!! I just love it!
Thanks for all your love and support!
