Let Go and Let God

Week of June 21-27

With countries continuing to open up, some sisters had to go to San Francisco for some Visa work so I got to be temporary companions with Sister Poulsen for the week and work in her area. The best part is, I got to be a Visitors' Center sister!!! Dreams do come true.

On the first day we spent the whole day there having meetings and tours. It was so special to be so close to the temple and be able to walk on the grounds. We led a tour to a zone in the mission then had some virtual tours. Best day ever.

Then we had some lessons and knocked some doors! We talked to some really nice people and actually had a good experience! We also had a singing lesson by a member and I was told I've been breathing wrong my whole life, so that's cool. Also we had some really amazing miracle moments!! And to top it all off, we got free Crumbl. God loves us.

- Nicole: so we went outside for a break and saw a tortoise with a leash so we were looking at it. We start talking to this lady and she introduces us to Linda, the tortoise. She goes off about how sassy and stubborn she is and we are like lolll okay you are talking about a tortoise. But then she's wanted to hear about what we do as missionaries! We had a super awesome conversation about eternal families and God's love and all that good stuff.

- Glowing Thomas: we were looking through our records to find people to call. I was looking through and was like "we need to call Thomas. His name is glowing." So we called Thomas and he is golden! We also had a super good lesson the next day then the sisters visited him and his family a few days later. They want to get baptized. Like WHAT?

It gets even better! I came back and we GRINDED. We've been trying to diversify our means of reaching out to people. Recently we've been just calling up random numbers and seeing if they are interested. We got our fair share of people who weren't interested, but boy did we run into some people who made all the rejection worth it.

- Maya: I called her up and she was willing to hear a Bible verse and we ended up having a 20 minute conversation about Jesus. She is so cute and we set up another time to talk this next week. Coolest thing about this was that I had called a good amount of people and no one answered and I was done, but I had a strong prompting to call one last person. 4th floor, last door kinda moment!! We ended that call with our jaws on the floor. God is so involved in this work

- Miss Lidia: She is the sweetest person ever and made my entire night! She went on and on about how the world needs more people like us and that we are angels sent from heaven. Miss Lidia is actually our angel sent from heaven because she told us exactly what we needed to hear.
