May 29-June 4
Monday: So today was fill of adventures! We went and bought matching Santa Barbara shirts. (they're super cute BTW!) Then for district activity we played basketball and chair soccer. We played for 5 hours, yeah I was super winded....then for FHE we also played chair soccer and during the LAST game @ 8:30 pm I sprained my ankle and couldn't walk on it. #accidentprone
Then we went home and had to call the mission nurse and she said I needed to find crutches...luckily in my last apartment there were some in the closet, so we found a way to get them down, or up to Santa Barbara.
Tuesday: We had like 3 appointments. Our investigator Davis sent himself with a baptism date for August 17. We were so excited! He originally didn't want to be baptized for another 5-6 years! Then we had a lesson with a returning member. He told us "Overtime you girls come over, the sun comes out" (the past 2 weeks we've gone over it rained before we got there) and he shared that he's always in a bad mood until we get there, then he feels better. So that's comforting that we made a difference in his life. Then we had an appointment with a potential.
Wednesday: We also had 2 appointments! One with a potential who shared that she wants to be baptized! WOW! Then we had an appointment with a less active, but it got cancelled so we went home for lunch, while there we got a call from a member saying "there's a girl at the institute, will you come here?" Puzzled, so we went anyway and he was right, there was a girl there and she was crying, so we took her to the library in the institute. She shared that her BFF was a member of our church, passed away in a car accident today and she didn't know who to come to, so she decided she wanted to meet with the missionaries (she's not a member) We then taught her about the Plan of Salvation and emphasized that Spirit world and told her what her friend was doing and where. It was super powerful, then the institute president gave her a priesthood blessing and she said she wants to come to church. It was amazing.
Thursday: Nothing exciting, just weekly planning.
Friday: OOOOkay. Friday was strange...We and the Zone leaders had a lesson with a man, he saw my ankle and asked if he could pray for it! I said sure. He asked if he could hold me while he prayed, we all said NO. Then he gave this demanding prayer that it would be healed...nothing happened #awkward. Then he spent an hour trying to bible bash. We all just kept testifying of the truth of our message/the Book of Mormon. The he said (in his prayer) I pray that these missionaries FAIL in all their missionary efforts and that no one would listen to them. That they can come to know the real truth. #awkward! He said he'll keep praying like that until he hears that mormon missionaries are no more... Friday night we made the elders give us a blessing. LOL.
Saturday: We found the CUTEST dutch town in our area, Solvang and proselyted there all day.
Sunday: Today was awesome. We had church and one investigator came! YAY! Then we went to a baby shower for an investigator and they feed us real Mexican tacos and horchata (I 💖 that stuff) All of it. Then dinner at the institute. We also had a lesson with a potential named J Michael. It was cool, he became a new investigator! YAY! '
Twas a crazy week my friends, CRAZY!
