So I went on an exchange with English sisters. So weird teaching in English! We didn't have a car so we had to walk all day. Got some new blisters on my feet, but it's worth it. People are rude sometimes haha a guy was walking towards us and the Sister I was with tried to talk to him but he ignored her so I stopped walking looked him in the face and said "Hi how are you?" and he kept walking! I wanted to trip him. :p

So what are you all doing to invite one person to hear the gospel between now and Christmas? Our ward is fasting this Sunday for missionary opportunities and then the missionaries are on assignment to go around to all the active members and then inactive members to pray with them about who they can invite. It's gonna be awesome! I know we will see miracles as we help the Lord hasten His work!

We have 4 investigators that are progressing very well. Every one of them are ready for baptism, we just have to help them see that. They are really awesome. I already love the people here and the area. Still getting to know everything but Heavenly Father is helping me learn it quickly.

We drew the Plan of Salvation on the sidewalk using chalk and wrote Mormon.org under it. That was awesome. Hopefully someone will see it :) 

We picked up an investigator that Hermana Schwegler had taught when she was being trained here. She had a baptismal date and she still wants to learn. Seems promising! She's a sweetheart and it's a family of 5. Her and her husband, her mother and 2 sons. Hopefully we can start teaching the whole family this week!

So we decided to walk for awhile because we're getting close to going over on our miles... while we were walking a hobo ran out of the bushes, sat on the sidewalk to get dirt out of his shoe. Since we are to talk to everyone, we said hello to him and asked what he was up to. He said, I'm homeless, not much. I'm homeless because I hate the government. hahaha He had no shirt on and his clavicle was poking up out of his shoulder, it was pretty gross. But he was wearing pumas... fancy shoes for a hobo. So we walked and talked with him about the church and family history. He said his name was Frank Bottles lol weirdo. We were wondering what people were thinking about 2 girls in skirts were doing walking with a shirtless hobo man. Goooood times.

Another funny story. We went to see a family we haven't taught yet. We introduced ourselves to the mom and then the son came to the door. He had to have been like 12-14 years old. He shook Hermana Schwegler's hand and then mine and as he had my name he was like what was your name? Hermana Schwegler said her name and he said "No... her name.." and looked at me. Creepy 12 year old hahahaha We laughed about that for a good hour.

We did a huge service project painting house in the ghetto. That was fun. We got free donuts, chickfila, and tshirts!

My trainer had her exit interview with President Kendrick. :( We are going to work our faces off this week!! We're going to try to set 4 baptismal dates this week. We're going to pray like it all depends on God and then work like it all depends on us!
