So I realized a couple of days ago that Easter in the next holiday...after St. Patty's day. Anyway that means that mini eggs will be coming to the shelves pretty quickly. Remember how I asked for no more candy? Well, I am revoking that just for the Easter season. Feel free to send me as many milk chocolate mini eggs as you want :)
Ok, I have a list of things I wanted to tell you all about.
1) There is a hockey team out here called the LA Kings. If that isn't the biggest oxymoron then I don't know what is. I was so confused when I saw that. Then I realized that it was hockey and not basketball (Sorry, worldly I know).
2) The other day we were walking in our apartment complex and this kid walks outside. I had to do a double take. It looked EXACTLY like Tavan; except this guy ended up being super ghetto. So imagine him with a plaid jacket that is 20 times too big for him and then sagging jeans. That is what I saw haha I just thought it was funny.
3) Ok RMs. Do you remember those streets that you were just so excited to go knock because there weren't any records of other missionaries being there? We had a couple of those streets this week. I was so excited to go knock them and then they were kind of a disappointment. Only because people were not as open as I was hoping they would be. Life of a missionary. Full of ups and downs.
BUT! There is this apartment complex that we realized was in our area and there are no records of any missionaries being there and I know they haven't been knocked for at least 8 months. We have been going there and I think there was only one door that wouldn't listen. The people in that apartment complex are very nice and very willing to listen. That is one of the places I look forward to going to every singe day. It's just a good pick me up! And we meet some pretty colorful people there too. There is never a dull moment.
Ok that was my list. Not as long as I remembered it being.
For all of those wondering, the weather finally cooled down and we have had three days of rain. YAY! Prayers and Fasting really work. We are praying that there is more rain to get out of this drought.
Oh hey! I hit my 4 month mark yesterday and the fun part was that it was Sister Kemp's 4 month mark too! We took pictures....don't worry! Maybe one day you will all see them!
Life as a missionary has been so good lately! I don't know why or what changed but things have been a little too easy. There's a storm coming! I can feel it. I think it actually started brewing this week. I just hope and pray that I am always worthy to help these people and am open to the promptings of the spirit. I think that has been the hardest part for me. It is hard for me to recognize when the spirit is actually talking to me and when I am just thinking. There have been a few moments when there is no mistaking but then there are others where I have no clue. So that is what I have been working on lately.
Gah! Ok, time is already up! Love you all!
