Late Sunday evening, I got a call from Washington on my cell. Mmm...wonder who that MIGHT be? It was a call from the family who had fed Sister Gardanier and Sister Imangazi. They wanted me to know that because of the Veteran's Day holiday on Monday and a Zone Conference on Tuesday, Sister Gardanier's P-day wouldn't be until Wednesday. I appreciate the information. Thank you to who ever called!
The quote of the week of course is from Sis. Imangazi, as usual. :) She
always makes fun of me and tells me I'm too nice to people and that I should let
them do things themselves. Yesterday my grandparents, Nana and Poppy, sent her a package for her
birthday and she turned to me and said, "I know why you have so much
charity. You get it from your family." Hahahaha. She then proceeds to say, "You
have too much charity. Give me half of yours because my heart is hard like
stone." So, if any of you have extra charity, send it our way because my companion
needs it. :)
This week we taught 12 lessons! Not as many as last
week, but we are really trying. And we still currently have NO progressing
investigators. Actually, we don't really have any investigators right now. We
are working on blind faith. We know Heavenly Father has our back
:)
Monday we were supposed to go to the new Cafe Rio ( Sis. G's favorite place to eat!) that opened at
the Spokane Valley Mall with a member. Turns out the Cafe Rio DIDN'T OPEN. :( So. Mad. It was supposed to open on October 30, but they said it won't open until
January. Gosh dang it! :( That's all I can remember from Monday. It was so long
ago....
Tuesday I don't remember what happened either. But we did
go out and work....
Wednesday was a long day. We found out that we
have to move out of the member's house for the holidays, so we're going to be
moving into an apartment eventually. And we have Ensign magazines EVERYWHERE. So, we
decided to spend the afternoon sorting through them because we didn't want to do it when
we moved out. We got it all DONE! We saw Lexi ( a teenager who is less active and a new member) and her grandma that
night.
Thursday was WEEKLY PLANNING. Lexi's grandparent took us
out to dinner! We went to this mexican restaurant. It was pretty good, but
obviously nothing like the authentic food in Arizona. I miss the good
Mexican food!
Friday we had a lesson with Sis. Tilley! She invited us to
come over the next week and have another Korean lunch with her! I'm so excited!
We are actually going over there today to eat. :) I'll take pictures so you can
all see how great it is. She's awesome! She told us that she makes us Korean
food so that I'll be used to it when Tyler gets home and makes it for me. Hahaha
Saturday we were supposed to polish silverware with a
member, but she cancelled last minute. :( So we really just tried to visit
people. We have a few members that live way way way up in the mountains so we
decided to go try and visit them. We got lost going to one. Then we went to a
less active family and they were SUPER not interested in talking to us. Hahaha. She was practically slamming the door on us as soon as he opened it. It was
great. :) Then we visited Anne. She's a less active who we visit every week. We
always do some sort of service for her. I vacuumed for her this time. I've
gotten really good at vacuuming in nice straight lines, just like my mom likes
:)
Sunday we had 2 people come up to us at church and tell us that
that have friends who have accepted the invitation to take the missionary
discussions! So we're setting up appointments for those later this week. We
also saw Janine ( a new member ) and she told us about the new job she got. :)
Monday we just did service with Janine all day. And then she made
us dinner! We went out to visit a few people. We saw Lexi's grandma and we found
out that Lexi has run away...again. So we shared a scripture and left. We went to
see the Gehrett's to go over some things because she was taking us out to visit some of the sister members.
Tuesday! We had Zone Conference! It was from 9am-4pm! We were so ready to get out. Our mission president has totally raised the standards
on missionary work. He wants us to double our baptisms per month. So, he wants
us to try and get 70 baptisms per month, teach 3 lessons per day, and increase
our church attendance by 10%. Its going to be really hard for us because we
don't exactly have investigators to work with, but I have faith that President
Mullen knows what is going on and that the Lord will help us. :)
We
just had lunch with Sis. Tilley! She made us Korean food. It was so good!
:)
I hope you all have a fun week! Enjoy the cooler
weather! (The high temperature was 46 and the low was 31 today in Spokane... Shall I tell her the high in Phoenix was 83? Na!)
Lunch at Sister Tilley's.
Watching the snow out the window...
Smile!!
