This week has been such a blessing! We have seen Shanika almost everyday and man is she sooo ready for her life to change! She needs so much happiness and joy to overcome all the sadness in her life. She will get there, just need time and prayers sent her way.
We went on exchanges with the Shreveport STL's this week as well. Since we live 2 hours from Shreveport we double work our area. I had the opportunity to be with the glorious Sister Kendall. She is a beast missionary and works super hard! We had so many lessons that day! Have I ever told yall how much I love being a missionary? If I have oh well, here I go again! Man do I LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY! I get to meet so many people and just see/hear all about life and how we can bring a smile to a frown. I just love being a missionary!
We also are sharing an investigator with the Elders and man is she awesome. Her name is Shannon. She is going to be baptized on the 28th of Novemeber. We are all so excited for her. Well she's a huge animal lover. She has cats everywhere, dogs are all in the backyard. But we walk into her house and this cat makes a really really weird meow and were all like what is that? Then the cat starts throwing up everywhere...it was soo disgusting! So what do we do during the lesson. We liken reading the scriptures to a cat throwing up, because everything relates to the gospel somehow:)
Tracting this week was fun:) We ran into this Pentecostal kid who really liked what we had to say, we gave him a book of mormon and we're trying to set up another appointment with him. Then his mom comes to the door yells "Go AWAY!" and slammed the door, then locked it. We start walking away and we were pretty happy because at least they had a book of mormon in the house. Then we hear the door unlock and the mom comes running at us... WHAT DO WE DO! so she gets close to us and she gives us back the book of mormon and doesnt say anything. Walks back to her door and slammed it again and locked it again. Best way to make tracting fun is to laugh about the funny things that happen.
This week has just been a blast of happiness and laughing. No matter what your circumstances are, take a second to laugh! The world needs more laughter and joy. Specially with THANKSGIVING and CHRISTMAS coming up, we all can be a little better to help others see that HAPPINESS is the best thing to overcome the world right now!
I love yall!
