So I'd like to compare my time here to the scene in Tangled when Flynn takes Rapunzel to the Snuggly Duckling and she is terrified of everything and holding out her frying pan and just basically scared to death. But in the end of song I've Got A Dream, she's calling them lovely folks and they all help her out basically. It's so scary here, but usually the experiences end up where I can call them all lovely folks:) For example, we were tracting this apartment complex and no one wanted to hear our message because there was a football game, and we got to this one door and there was a WEAVE of HAIR stuck to the door knocker and I was like "I'm out" but Hermana W was like "Let's keep going!" and we ended up meeting this really cool lady who told us how God had blessed her and we said a prayer with her and got a return appointment!! So it's kind of like Elder Uchtdorfs' conference address 4th floor, last door.
We had branch conference this week and let me tell you, the Convivio after kicked last weeks ward linger longers BUTT. Mexican food is the best.
It has been pretty stormy. We have a weather warning thing in our bedroom that goes off if there's hazardous weather and we were on tornado watch a couple of times!! It's not fun to get woken up by it, it makes sure you're awake :P Also the thunder is pretty bad too. It almost always has cleared up by the time we need to get to work though:) We have had to resort to phone lessons sometimes. But they are lessons!!
One lesson I think I've learned here is that I shouldn't judge the people by the house they live in. I have met so many wonderful people here who have so little, but so much faith!! Almost everyone is willing to talk to you about God, if you ask. They'll tell you their life story if you let them!!
I love the people out here and I love this work.
Until next week!!
