Week 8: i ate ham :O

when you see a members pet pig on july 4th and eat the pig at another members house on july 30th =) happy 2 months to me. i am growing so big over here in the missouri womb. i believe at this point i am called a fetus. fetus sister folkman, thats me. this week has yet again been full of amazing miracles, awkward moments, and funny missourians. my favorite awkward moment of the week was when a 15 year old opened the door and we start talking about Jesus Christ with her and the only way she can think to get rid of us is to say "My mom says Im not allowed to talk to strangers" ahhahaahah we were like oh ok have a good day. next BIG news. we had a church tour with kristen and we were able to give her a church tour. we ended with the baptism font and she looked at it for a little bit and then looked and her daughter and us and said "this is it. this is what i want to do. im doing this" Luckily before the tour i killed 4 GIGANTIC spiders out of the tank. #spiderwhisperer. it is so awesome!!!!! she is changing her life and i am so happy i get to be a part of her coming closer to christ!! yall remember the jehovahs witness we were teaching a couple of weeks ago?? HAH we had another lesson with her and the member that doesnt know how to stop talking. he calls us up to tell us the plan and says "you guys can just smile and nod while i talk " we were like um ok. so we get to the lesson and he has made two, not one but TWO, 13 slide POWERPOINTS. i died. i was like no this is not happening. it was probably the most cringe worthy hour and a half of my mission thus far. it was a great memory. also just if u guys were wondering.... i didnt get transferred and i have the same comp. shocker i know. BUT i am so excited because we are teaching so many awesome people. we had a lesson with Jim on saturday ( the black man who watched the 60 min about LDS people or whatever it was on ) and we just about BLEW HIS MIND. we taught him the plan of salvation and he just sat there literally shocked. he was like wait "you have so much to teach me sisters, there is so much i need to learn" im pretty sure thats every missionaries dream?? he is SO prepared and he is AwEsOmE *ded* AmArDiLlO. ( amardillo this week because thats is what i have seen deceased on the road lately ) LIFE SKILLZ learned this week at the Bishops house remodel: 1. how to mud scrape and paint 2. how to put up siding 3. how to have the LITTEST bonfire ever. (pics attached) anywayssss another week and my first transfer accomplished !!!! I love this gospel. I love Jesus Christ.
