Bye Bowl

 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 everyone looked at me for a split second like, "huh?" And then a plastic bowl exploded under the car tire. I cried laughing.

I fasted english on Friday! I spoke only spanish from 6:30am to 5pm! I said words and phrases I didn't know I knew. How cool?! 

This week I read a book by Sheri Dew called "Amazed by Grace" and it talks about what it means to remember the Savior. She says that remembering the Savior means to take Him into consideretion when choosing what media to view, how to respond to someone rude, or how to spend your Sabbath day. Cool cool.

Miracles

  We had miracles on Sunday  People that we are teaching went to church like CRAZY. The most amazing instance was when a girl who is at her dad's house in another city 50% of the time went to the ward over there. Big win because her dad doesn't like the church. She is 13 and making these decisions on HER OWN!  On Friday, we drove to a guy's house that told us we could stop by anytime. But when we stopped by he wasn't home. But as we were driving away we saw him in the far off distance in his backyard. SO we yelled his name from the other side of the yard and climbed down the retaining wall and started teaching him  Less than 10 days. I am going to soak this all up. Love you Sister Hall

Hello, Well I was sitting on the plane just relishing in my last moments of no expectations. I thought to myself, "enjoy this while you can, because it is going to be non-stop work, obedience and strict schedules for the next fifteen months." Hahaaaa what a joke. Expectations met reality and it hurt a little. I'm in a trio with two Samoan sisters serving in the Samoan area. We are stationed in West jordan and the area we cover is bigger than my actual mission! Sister Tofaeono is my trainer and my other comp's name is Sister Mariner. Sister T is very understanding, chill and extremely genuine. I love that about her. She is so chill in fact that when i ask for guidance or about the rules, she says, "do what ever you want." And sister mariner is beautiful and mellow. They are both from Samoa and they speak Samoan as their first language. They speak it to each other a lot so i am kinda in my own world A lot of the time. One thing that is weird for me is that the...
