FRIENDS AND FAMILY!!!
What a week, it has been!! it feels like it has been ages
since I have been able to email! hahahaha! I don't even know where to begin!
So...Saturday January 4 (the day that I was able to email before
I was under house arrest!) we went to Rochester with one of our investigators
to see a baptism..it was great! The spirit was so strong and our
investigator had a great time. However, on our way home we got a call
saying that church was canceled because of the cold weather! So on Sunday our
house arrest began! But we were fortunate to have such AMAZING ward members who
came to our rescue and took us to their homes so we wouldn't just have to stare
at our 4 walls all the day! Sunday night we went to another members house to
watch the district..it’s a movie where you follow a group of missionary
around..it was fun..she had a nonmember friend over and we were able to answer
a lot of his questions and he wants to meet with us again! It was
fun...However, on Monday..we were not allowed to leave our apartment at
all...it was a long day, but it was nice to take a little break and
chill...I made cookie dough and fish..it teased pretty good!
Tuesday! it was so wonderful to get back to work!! And we
saw so many miracles! it was crazy! But the highlight of our week was the
restoration lesson we taught on Tuesday night. So we wanted to find a new
investigator so we prayed to know which apartments we should go to.
Sister Amis and I both felt we should go to the same place and knock on a
couple of potentials we found a couple of weeks before. So we went there
and we were getting some book of Mormons out of our trunk..when I saw a french
copy and thought we should see if a guy we met a couple of weeks ago was
home. He was! we were able to go in and teach him and his sister.
However, his English is not very good and he had a really hard time
understanding what we were saying..then I had a thought! I asked Sister Amis if
she still had the restoration dvd in her bag and she said she did and then I told
her that we should watch it cause it has a voice over in FRENCH!!!! It was
inspiration-not desperation as some of you would think! The spirit during the
movie was strong and he was able to understand everything we just tried to
teach in English! The only think that could have made this better is if after
the movie we were able to speak in french! But it was great and we are going
back to see them this week! ps! he also came to church on Sunday!!
We have also had some good laughs this week! So, we were
going to a member’s house for dinner and I told the wrong road and had to flip
a u-turn...but in the process totally got the car stuck in a snow-bank! Too bad
I didn’t have anything red to put on the car-antenna!! hahah name that movie???
But we tried to push the car out, but were not super successful! But
right when we though all hope was lost some nice people with a big tuck and a
rope came to our aid and were able to pull our car out! No worries the car was
fine! oh ya! we made it our alive! but note to self: if this happens
again, DONT punch the gas while your comp tries to push the car cause that only
makes the car sink deeper! The other funny moment happened on Saturday..we were
leaving our apartment for the day..but our door wouldn't open! we tried
everything! no joke! for like 20 minutes we tried to open the door and yes! it
was unlocked!!! But in the end we had to call our landlord to come and help us
get out!!! So he came and still we couldn't get out! But finally after trying
and trying we were able to pry the door open with a butter-knife! it was really
funny! Sister Amis and I both thought that for some reason Satan didn't want us
on the lose!! We were able to end the day at a baptism in Rochester and
it was AWESOME!!
Thanks for all your love and support!!
