Well ita officially been six months since I've been out!! Crazy right! It feels like yesterday I was in home MTC learning how to be a missionary and now I'm 6 months in and I'm still learning how to be a missionary. I will say I've learned so much about myself and about the Gospel being out alone in Virginia! I've had highs and I've had lows but nothing compares to how much joy I get when I'm serving heavenly fathers children.
So this week was a miraculous week and lemme tell ya, we grinded all week!!
Tuesday we got to do service at the farm, nothing too crazy with that but then we came home got ready and headed out to visit a guy. He didn't answer so we visited a couple people around him and we found a really cool guy! It was kinda funny cause he was just smoking a blunt while we walked up to him and we weren't even going to talk to him but then we felt inspired and so we asked if we could pray with him. He said yes and we had an awesome conversation with him. He even said he believes we came to that area not for the other lady we were gonna visit but it was for him and so it was super super cool!!
Wednesday was also a grind day, we had like 5 lessons planned but guess what, none of them went through! So our backup was to knock around and so we did but before we were about to leave, one of our friends who we were gonna teach got home so we were actually able to have an awesome lesson with him!! After that we went to go visit this one guy but his ex answered and said he left and wasn't coming back, she shared some personal stuff that was really sad and as she was about to close the door, her kid begged her if they could come to our church. We then asked if we could give her our info and she agreed and then we asked if there's was anything else we could do for her and she really needed a prayer and a blessing over her house. So I said a prayer and after I finished we looked up and she was in tears! The spirit was so strong and was more present than ever. She genuinely needed that and if it wasn't for her kid, we wouldn't have had the opportunity to help her.
Thursday was a long day for sure, we went out in the morning to go visit a lot of people and actually was able to teach a guy about the Book Of Mormon which was awesome. But then we came home and had lunch cause after lunch we had like 5 lessons over the phone, sad part about it, nobody answered, it was a long day of calling random people cause that's all we could do, then we spent the rest of the afternoon weekly planning, and then after made even more calls, so from 12pm-9pm we were in the apartment all day 😐 kinda blows but oh well.
Friday we had service at the farm early morning and then we had a lot of time to go out knocking so we did and literally had an awesome time! We talked to so many people and taught about the Book Of Mormon like 4 times!! We found like 3 people that day so overall, found a ton of success that day!
Saturday was a little chaotic, the only interesting thing that happened was we went over to an investigators house to do some service and teach them. We finished service and went inside to eat/teach and the owner let his devilish dogs out, I got bit by one last time we were over and so I prepared myself by not putting my hands down. My comp however did and he got bit!! Luckily the investigators wife works in the ER so she cleaned it up real well and then let him just sit at his sink, all during this commotion I was just sitting there in silence trying to think of what to do. Then our friend gives me a bowl of spaghetti and so I start teaching him, I talked about temples and the book of mormon meanwhile I'm not sure if my comp was dead or not cause he was just sitting with his face down in a sink. Finally it got time to go so my comp gets up and we leave and come home. It was a really awkward night I will say.
Sunday was a rough day, it was just a basic Sunday with church and meetings but we were both dead this day and had a hard time getting up but we managed to get through it.
Today was also chaotic cause we had to go sit in an urgent care for 3-4 hours because the mission nurse told us to go get antibiotics for his bite. So we sat there and sat there and then finally got called back, the doctor then said she would give us antibiotics and she also gave him a shot and xrayed his finger, and then we had to go to Walgreens to pick up his stuff and now we are both dead tired but still have to stay awake for a little bit longer...
So this week was a long one and it was quite the one for the books!! It was a miraculous week with lots and lots of things to look back on but we had some fun interesting awkward chaotic nights as well. Oh the joy of adulthood on a mission!!
Anyways super grateful for all yall!! Happy early Saint Patrick's day to all!!!
