September 10th- WHAT it's already september?! That's bonkers. We didn't find any friends today which is a bummer but it was still sick cause we gotta go funding a loottttt. The first house w we visited smelled like thick cat poop. The lady owned 7 cats and they all just chilled around in one apartment soo.. I'm rethinking getting indoor cats in the future. One of her cats gave me the weirdest look..looked like he was ready to murder me but thankfully we only stayed for 5 minutes cause the lady was super sweet but not interested. After her we knocked on a bunch of doors and no one was interested until we found this group of kids and all the kids wanted a Jesus sticker and card. One of the kids wanted the Jesus picture taped on the front of his bike so he's definitely the coolest kid in town now and I bet his bike costs twice as much too...his mom was sorta interested so ayyyye I call that a win. Not a friend but I'll count her as a cool aquentence. ( hope I didn't slaughter that word)
September 11th- We found no friends today...but we did have district counsel so that was really fun! Love my district! They are so goofy. Then we had a lesson with Maureen and Jason about the premortal world and Jesus earthly ministry and atonement!
September 12th- Ngl today wasn't that great but it wasn't bad either it was just kinda meh and my nail polish is started to come off so waahhhh! Jk I could care less honestly :) So today was rough cause we made no friends again. I think Heavenly Father is trying to teach me patients (Idk if I spelled that right but I hope I did). We found this random guy on the street named Ricky though and he wanted to meet up with us at some point though so that was cool.
September 13th- Today was pretty fire! We didn't make any friends again buy that's A-okay. we went to the resuce center and did some service there by serving the homeless people and that's always kinda fun and makes me miss Culver's! Then we had an apt inspection and turns out our air conditioner is super dirty sooo that explains the "allergies" I've had lol. Hey and we got our toaster fixed! Then we had a lesson with Tracie about the Book of Mormon! Then we had a lesson with Gail and Andy June and Gail is probably one of the funniest ladies I've ever met and Andy is sooo quiet. So ig opposites really do attract. We taught them about the Holy Ghost with the Hams!
September 14th- Yay! We got a friend! We started off the day going to a cute antique shop with Elder Hoffman and Elder Anderson and the Hams ( a senior missionary couple in our mission) and then the Hams took us to Apple bees yummy! Then we went finding at a park and no one was there...so that was dumb but attest we gotta do comp study with the geese outside. Then we listened to byu vocal point and pretended it was our district singing and we both were laughing so hard idk why it was so funny to imagine! But I promise we did a lot of missionary stuff today too! We had a lesson with Katie!! She was the nee friend we made and we talked to her about the Plan of Salvation and just helped her with some things she's been going through.Then we had a lesson with Lindsay about the Plan of Salvation too! So the plan of happiness has become one of my favorite things to teach fs. Then we had spud Saturday and spud Saturday we just watch an inspirational video, eat potatoes and play trivia games! And I dominated in cover your assets!
September 15th- I LOVE the sabbath! Sundays are the best with our cute little Rome NY ward! But this Sunday tops them all cause we got someone on date! So we have like 15 friends that won't come to church but then we find this random guy and he is the Nephew of the Danielsons in our ward! He comes up to us on a silver platter and says he wants to get baptized! So pray for Conner and the date is October 15th!! But that's not all we made two more friends Sunday! Kaay! He was a gray dot that we found in Canastoda and now he's in the reaching pool again! And them we met Chris at walmart! I'd explain all the details but it's easier to script this one:
Me: "Hey totally random but do you want to come to church?"
Chris: "I have a church."
Me: "okay...so not interested." ( He backs away...then we go park somewhere to let all the people we asked to church ( everyone) leave the parking lot so we can ask the next bunch coming out)
Chris drives over to us parked and rolls down his windows.
Chris: "So yall serious about the church thing."
Me: " Heck yah! I know we look like we are 14 but we are legit!"
Sister Nelson: ( Shows her name tag)" Yes!!"
Then we have a great discussion with him about God's love for him! And we are giving him a tour of the church this Tuesday!
Spiritual thought: In life you have ups and downs but you really don't appreciate the ups unless you have downs! So learning to appreciate everything as a missionary has blessed us so much! I know that this church is the trus church and that going out and funding that one person who needs love and comfort is so important! Even if it's one person! It's so important to leave the 99 to find the one.
Today: ZONE PDAY! VOLLEYBALL! SUNBURNS and Elder Hoffmans birthday and also some birthdays coming up aka my FATHER!!
