We saw so many miracles! First of which was seeing
Jesse! k, seriously so cool. So Jesse is this super chill black guy who we met
the other week just walking around campus, taught him the restoration then we
met with him the next day and he committed to be baptized on the 26th... and I
think I already told y'all about this buuuuut, I don't remember.. ANYWAY,
he's cool, that's all you need to know. SO after our amazing lesson we're just
like in awe of the whole thing. Well a couple days go buy and we can't get
ahold of him. See lemme tell y'all something about YSA, it's hard to find
people. And the first step to finding is stalking. The missionary life = the
stalking life for real. So it hard enough getting peoples phone numbers when
we're just street contacting, so we can't really be like oh by the way can I
have your address too? Oh and while you're at it, what's your date of birth and
social security number? K CREEPY. So for alllll of our potentials and
investigators we just have their phone numbers, no addresses. We always just
meet at the church or somewhere on campus so it's sooo easy for them to just
fall off the face of the earth and you have no way to get in contact with them
but their phone, which they don't answer. So you see our problem. So back to
Jesse, he had completely fallen off the face of the planet and we were
seriously so sad! Until Saturday night! So we were at this outside mall where
there's a ton of YSA, just contacting people and we were there for like 30
minutes and talked to like 2 people. Sister Wilson and I were feeling kind of
off that night, we were nervous to talk to people, they were all in big groups,
whatever! Basically we were just making excuses as to why we didn't wanna talk
to people. So as we decided to leave. As we were walking to our car I got this
impression to just go back to the mall and try talking to people one more time.
Heck no were my thoughts exactly. I am not going back! I'm tired, my back and
feet hurt and nobody wanted to talk to us. But the closer we got to the car the
stronger my impression got to go back. I was stubborn. I fought with the Lord
for like 2 seconds. I just kept thinking how much I realllllllly did NOT want
to go back. Finally I got the impression to go back again, so I threw my hands
in the air and said FINE IMMA DO IT. So I was like Sister Wilson, I really feel
like we need to go back and I could see in her face that she really didn't want
to go back. But we did anyway. The whole time I'm thinking, man we better meet
someone really cool tonight. Haha. I'm so dumb. just trust the lord you dummy So
within minutes of us being back at the mall, guess who we saw? JESSE. I like
wanted to cry. then I was like k I hate myself, why did I question the Lord?
I'll never do that again. Haha. But it was sooo good to see him! He was like
yeah I'm sooo sorry I haven't responded to your messages! I've been working
like everyday! But he's coming to FHE tonight and we're teaching him afterwards!
HALLELUJAH! Praise the LAWD. Plus the Lord blessed us with the courage to open
our mouths and we met a ton of people as we were going through the mall again.
Miracles I tell you! MIRACLES.
Well now my fingers hurt. that was a
lot of typing. Oh also we had a good 4th of July, we weekly planned and taught
some lessons! Haha we also watch some fireworks from our porch. it was a good
time.
The world cup is ending soon! I
mean, I think, sure hope so Charlottesville so I can only assume and hope.
Haha. Maybe I'll get my visa soon? That'd be cool! brazil for lifeeeee also virginiaduhhh
Well I love you all soooo much! Make
good choice! Remember who you are! I love being a
missionary sooooooooooo much! It's changed my life! I KNOW my Savior lives and
loves me so much. I know Joseph Smith was a prophet. Lately we've met SO many
people who are anti and tell us all kinds of stuff about Joseph Smith and The
Book of Mormon, it's so sad. It only makes my testimony stronger. "The
truth will always be opposed." Man, I love this gospel and I love my
mission.
Tchau Tchau,
Sister Hallmark
