I’ve been a missionary for so long...don't really know what else to say about it!
August 12th: we went to the Daveys and played some games with them! Then we stopped by a bunch of refurals! One of them sent in a request after we randomly knocked their door a couple weeks previously which is actually so cool so they must have looked up the church website on the card! We had an awesome lesson with John and he keeps telling us how excited he is to get baptized October 5th!! Then we had Scottish dancing and institute!! Yay! Nuci came to both and we all are becoming pretty good Scottish dancers and David's kilt every week freaking kills me lol!
August 13th: we had a lesson with Sincere and he is such a king! We randomly found this guy cause he was playing some hype music so we just followed the sound! Anyways it was raining super hard and we just had a lesson on his front porch and he can talk so much oh my gosh and he told us pretty much his whole life story and how the people who lived in the house before him gave him all this lepercan stuff for saying Patrick's day and he loves it so much he hasn't even used it he just tidies it up here and there. Sooo funny and sweet! Then we had youth night and for that we went to someone's house and helped them clean it! And I got to clean off spider webs oh and this morning there was a massive spider in the shower too!! Lots of spiders today! Then we had an amazing lesson with Nuci and Joe and it was about the restoration and the spirit was so strong and then we asked Joe to say the prayer and at the end he was like "Uh how do you end it again?" And we had to tell him and he was like "oh yeah..in the name of Jesus Christ AMEN!" It was prolly the best prayer ever. Then we had a lesson with Nadiah and Clide about the importance of Church and then a phone call with this old guy named Clarence!
August 14th: we had exchanges in Iticha! While me and Sister bird went to lessons the tire popped in the other car and so the other Sisters had to get a new tire cause there wasn't just a little hole like the tire had a giant slash through it! Oops!! Then we taught the institute lesson and I got to talk to Chad and help him cause he just lost his brother so keep Chad in your prayers!!
August 15th: we had a lesson with the Adams and a lesson with John! John is such a stud muffin and he texts us every single morning "good morning sisters 💕. Cant wait 4 Oct. 5th" its seriously the cutest. Hes just this old man who's about 5ft and always makes the world a better place! Oh and ofc volleyball night!
August 16th: ZAYNES baptism!! Yay!! Zayne is one of the Elders friends and so we helped at the baptism and then played football after and had hot dogs with Brother changthongthip and his family and then had service and then went finding the rest of the day and found 4 friends!
August 17th: CHURCH!! JOHN AND SINCERE CAME! It was the best ever and Carlo went to church in Staten Island and took a picture of him at church in NYC and there are a lot more members here! he has so much fomo lol upstate NY for the win! Anyways Sincere and John loved church and sincere talked about how grateful he was for all of us and John leaned over and whispered in my ear.."guess what happens October 5th??? And I just smiled and said "the best day ever! you are getting baptized!" He also had a miracle that day! John had some cigarettes in his white button up shirt and he was gonna go smoke them but then he decided that he actually didn't want to smoke and said he liked just being in church and honestly it was the coolest thing ever! Everyone always asks us why we got cigarettes in our car..John gives us 3 cigs a day :) hes doing awesome!
Love sista hodges :)
