10th Letter 4.22.13

Hey haha!

 

alrighty!! hi! how are ya'll doin? ok this past week has been intersting! haha i love it!!  This week seemed like forever! now that im looking back on it! wow! i cant remember that far back! woops!! anyway this week right! i have been trying so hard to be a celestial missionary! its way hard! da gumit! i want to laugh all the time because i think im just so funny but than sis hirst isnt saying anything so than i stop talking and than its just awkward.... but than we realize how awkward it is and laugh! I always have to remind myself that im a missionary, because i just love everyone and want to be myself completely! Oh and there are people here that watch Dr Who!!! whaat??? they are my best member friends... ok not my best member friends but my member friends. hahaha! oh my goodness! this past week i have been feeling sorrow! sorrow for every soul that we drive by on the street! WHY?? it hurts just to see them and know what they are missing! yes i cry sometimes :P Is this what Christ feels when people deny him? Because this sucks! so im trying to get rid of the sorrow by spreading the gospel to everyone!!! There are some really mean people here! haha funny story! wait back up! the day started like any other day! great studys! i didnt fall asleep in them! (thats why they were so great!) and we were biking that day, we were going to go over a cross walk. and it said it was our turn to go! so sis hirst started going and a truck zoomed by! and almost hit her!!! she stopped and turned around and said " DID YOU SEE THAT??" i said "YES OH MY GOSH YOU ALMOST DIED!!!" we were scared a little bit, chuckled it off and kept going. All was well! the Lord really looks out for us! then we were at a gas station for a bathroom break and i was backing her out (because missionaries need to back other missionaries out  its not my favorite thing thats for sure) and some guy must have really wanted the parking spot next to us because he was determined to run me over to get to it! Scary!!! Thank you Heavenly Father!! He has our backs! But then!... we went to go see a potential gator, it was a trailer park. and there were tons of people out! so we're thinking sweet! new gators! give out lots of BoMs! spread the gospel right?? wrong. We gave out 2 BoMs? and we walked up to this group of women, they wouldn't even look at us!! we introduced ourselves! exchanged names said who we were. asked if we could give them a BoM they said NO!! and turned their backs and ignored us!!! they didn't go anywhere, they just didn't acknowlege us anymore!! RUDE! we thought! so that killed our spirits! a little bit. and during this whole time we felt uneasy. possibly a little awkward. Then there were Herds of children running around! we would smile and wave at them, but they would just freeze and glare at us! not even smile!! we got back into the car alittle confused. why were people so mean!!! what was happening? we drove up the street and parked. we felt like we should try one more street in this park/neighborhood. we get out and start walking, a car drives by. ( im not feeling good) than it stops and starts backing up towards us!!! the guy driving is glaring at us! i tell Sis Hirst "we got to go Now" she says yes. we speed walk to the car, jump in and zoom away!!! So scary! i have never felt the spirit like that before!!! we kept waving and smiling at people hoping for  someone to smile back. Nope not one!! so we gave all the people who we set up apts with in that neighborhood to the elders because we dont want to go back to it!! seriously! i was scared! and The Holy Ghost did not want us in there any longer! I love the Holy Ghost! He is the most amazing man ever!! the things that He does for us is just incredible!!! so that was a great day hahahaha. Than last night? we got our apt. dedicated :) yay! now it feels good! there is a different feeling when a home is dedicated and when it is not! i feel safer when it is dedicated!!!

I honestly dont know how i could be a missionary with out the Lords help! the way that he prepares people is  incredible! its simply brilliant!! i can see it with my eye balls!! when people are ready it doesnt matter what we say because the spirit tells them that its true! and when people are not ready, well they just glare at us and dont wave back lol!
