hello everyone! what a wonderful week it has been. it rained the first four days of the week ! that was fun. we had a lake in front of our house we played in for exercise time =) but the rain made everything so GREEN and pretty. turns out IL isnt as ugly as i thought it was! we started teaching Kennedy and Anesti, 2 girls the elders in the ward were teaching, we had a pass off lesson with the elders and it went so good! they are on date to be baptized one June 22nd. Kennedy is 15 and Anesti is 11. they just soak it right up and you can tell the spirit is working on them, testifying of the truths we teach them, so that was exciting! my recent convert Kristen from way back in Warrenton when i was just a little baby missionary reached out to me and said she was going through a really rough time. so sis v had the wonderful idea of doing video call lessons. so we asked Pres. Bateman and he approved. It was so cool to be there with the Warrenton sisters and to teach Kristen again. She had lost a little bit of her light and testimony and it was cool to be able to testify to her that she was stronger than she thinks she is. it was literally just so cool! the spirit was so strong. the blessings of technology. Kristen is seeing the light again, i just know it. had a huge family history roots tech event this past weekend w 200 people coming to the church and like half non-members, wahoo! but somehow me and sis v got roped into teaching one on one family history. (i literally know the bare minimum) but we were told it was going to be the basics, so we studied and were sorta prepared. LOL first lady that sits down next to me asks the hardest question and i just said "i have no idea". so i went and got a professional but it was painful to watch these older women (not age racism here) try to enter this information slower than the sloth on zootopia. and after 40 minutes of entering we go back to the tree and it wasnt there. AWESOME. so they restart and i said "i cant enter it if you read it to me" 10 minutes later and we were back in business. so i guess being addicted to technology before my mission wasnt all that bad. (; cleaned out neighbor's trailer for him.... more like Sis V cleaned cuz i wasnt tall enough to reach anything and i had the worlds awkwardest law of chastity conversation with uncle ray ray. good news is in the end we were walking away and he said "yall ladies are my favorite one" love being the fave. also referring to the subject went street contacting at a park and everyone and there dog was there......literally. so in order to make them talk to us we asked to pet their dog, cuz everyone with a dog loves to show it off. sometimes you gotta go through the pain to get the victory. i petted enough dogs to satisfy me for the rest of my life.
"im gunna rip your head out"...... 1 hour later "im gunna put my hands around your neck"
i think its safe to say im on Sis V's good side! lots of love, sis folk
