Hanging out at the park!! ( for 2 and a half hours :0)

 






























Hey all as you can probably guess I love hanging out at the park for lunch!! This time I had the lovely opportunity to hang out there for two and a half whole hours! (I know this isn't super exciting intro but I'm trying okay lol) 


March 18th: We found a lost sheep of the Pulaski branch!! We were driving back home after knocking all morning and we found a member of the branch wandering around outside! He was walking himself to the doctors! We didn't know he was a member until we started talking with him and he started talking about temples and stuff and we were like oh no way you are a member! So that was cool! He didn’t come to church but still cool! After weekly planning we had a mentor meeting and it was weird being a trainer instead of a greenie but it was also kinda nice cause the mentor guy helped me too! We met this guy named Bob and he was nice but not interested and like dudes name here is either Bob, Gary, Bill or George like fr it's so funny to me.



March 19th: Today was absolutely nuts we had 7 lessons and by the end of the day I was absolutely exhausted but in a good I worked really hard way! Anyways we had zone council and learned a ton if stuff there! We learned to get up when your struggling and how it's okay to fall sometimes. And just how being a successful missionary isn't about the numbers it's just doing your best. And your best looks diffrent everyday! We met this guy named Wayne! Got his number and he really wasn't super interested but we were desperate. We had a great lesson with Tyler in his front yard. And a sorta good lesson with David! And he had the chubbiest dog ever. Then we had a lesson with George in his yard.


March 20th: so today was not as planned, we decided to have a lovely picnic at the park and someone accidentally locked the keys in the car so we had to wait 2 and a half hours to get someone to get the keys out. And it was cold outside..not very fun but eyy I guess now we can withstand the cold better?? Idk I'm trying ti have a positive mindset. Anyways we had an awesome spiritual lesson with Leyna and then talked with this guy named Fred who I think just wanted someone to talk to but we were there for him!


March 21st: 8 months woohoo!! They decided not to do a micro training this morning so we had to fend for our own spiritual motivation! But it was still a good morning cause we did a ton of door knocking! We made cookies for people too! And we had a killer Word of Wisdom lesson with melisa! 


March 22nd: kinda a hard day ngl. The best part about the day was we had this awesome lesson with Crystal about baptism and covants and the Holy Ghost! Yay! And we asked her to pray about a specific day to get baptized! So hopefully it happens soon!


March 23rd: I literally love sundays so much! I love the branch and all the new Yorkers and we had a spiritual lesson about Emma Smith getting through hard times, made me cry ngl! Then we went knocking and I had a prompting to talk to Al!! So we walked to his house and he was like "Eyyy I'm so happy you are here!!" Litterly his face started to glow and Buster (his dog) was being so cute! It was the best! We just talked outside of his house for 30 minutes! Then a bunch of other stuff!!



Spiritual thought: God is testing your patience when you are having a hard day! Keep having faith that no matter what happens that God's plan for you can never fail.
