Alice on a mission

  Flat Tire Friday was fun because we got a flat tire! So we spent four hours total--changing the tire + getting a new one. I lowkey enjoyed it because it changed up our routine. Pirate vid When you find new people to teach, you make a "miracle" video to announce it to your zone that you got a new. So, my comp was having a bad day, so we dressed up like pirates and made a miracle vid. My bottle of "beer" is actually worstichire sauce #WordofWisdom #Sodium No más Two people that we have been teaching for a while said that they are good with their own beliefs and to stop contacting them. That is kind of how missionary work goes. You find new people to teach and lose the other people you teach, but our efforts are not in vain. My job isn't to force people to be baptized; my job is to invite others to Christ so they can choose to be baptized. At the end of the day, if I have worked hard, then I have done my job. Testimony I know God loves all of His children!!! Isn...

 Here is a little informational email about what missionary work looks like in the Salt Lake City South Mission. Rules:  NO -going inside members houses -Eating with members -Eating food that members have made -Having members drop off food -Knocking on doors -Starting conversations with people in person -getting together with other districts MUST -wear masks while outside (except doing while sports) -go outside for at least 30 minutes a day 1. No such thing as tracting by knocking doors! We find people various ways. We type in a random letter into the search bar of our online area book and then people who are in our records as "not interest" pop up. We then search for them on our messanger app or through whatsapp. So instead of the spirit guiding me to a certain street, I typed in a letter into Whatsapp and a name popped up that I had not seen before, so we called it and she was super nice and open to our message! 2. Rejection ain't nothing no more! Instead of getting a d...

 This week was difficult and good! Tuesday was the worst because nothing happened. But we really cracked down on finding this week. I love cold calling people, but it stresses other people out, so we don't do it as often as I like. But we found two new people to teach by doing that this week. We had a free car wash for the people we are teaching. Out of fifteen people we invited, only one couple showed up. But that's okay because the ward leaders got to know them while us missioneries cleaned the cars. And we basically washed the cars with dirty water and a hose because the we held it at a high councellors house and he didn't have soap. You get what you pay for! One elder was like, "He has a porche but no soap ." Then the elders took pictures in front of the porche and got inside so they could rev the engine. I don't understand elders.  It all happened so fast. The guy at our free car wash started backing up and I saw it and said "bye, bowl" and ever...
