Pepper Spray!!!

Something so cool happened last monday after I wrote you all!! We called Linda and asked how her Book of Mormon Reading was going and guess what! She was In 1 Nephi 25!!!! WHAT!!!! She said that she loves it and she loves how she feels when she reads! AWE :D I love her so much!!

Tuesday: We stopped by an Investigator that we haven't been able to get in with for a while. Her name is Tua, she is Samoan and is really sweet, she was busy and we set up a return appointment. we will see what happens... Then we taught Tuila :) She is so amazing! She said that she really wanted to know if the church was true and that she would read and pray about the Book of Mormon! I love the Book of Mormon so much! If you allow it, it will change your life! We tried a lot of potentials, with little success. Then we went to dinner, as we were knocking on the door the food smelled so good! Then Supersize! Wrong house haha :) it was so funny! we still had a great dinner :) and then we had exchanges that night!

Wednesday: I was with Sister Cozzens again :) Two transfer exchanges in a row! We had so much fun and I was not as stressed which was nice :) I stayed in Valle Vista and really didn't know my way around, but that's okay because Sister Cozzens served in this area for a while so she knew the people, and how to get around! We were walking and talking and we ran into an investigator that we had a appointment with later. He has to cancel which was sad, but it meant we got a full lunch break which was really nice! I got to take a nap and it was fabulous! Then we went to a less active's house and we read from the Book of Mormon and it went really well. It was a good reminder that we teach people not lessons. It is so important for all of us to have a testimony about Jesus Christ and then Joseph Smith and then The Book of Mormon or else our testimonies crumble!  Then we taught a family that just moved into the ward :) She is excited to go back to church! Then we taught Linda :) She started talking with us about Baptisms for the dead and she loved the plan of salvation! We asked her to pray about what we were teaching her, and she really just readily excepting of everything we teach her! The Lord has defiantly prepared her for the Gospel! Then we had Dinner :) Sister Wueller (wheeler) is so funny! I lover her so much! haha :) and that ended the day of Exchanges....well we did teach a member after dinner and they are working with a friend so they can invite her to church! So cool! I missed my trio though :) they are all so much fun! and I love them and I love this ward! It is so great!

Thursday: We did our first splits :) It is really nice with a trio because all you need is one member to do twice as much work! It was so great! Sister Roberts went and taught Tua an investigator while Sister Garlitz and I went out walking and talking. It worked so well! Tua was not interested in the church, but she gave us some Samoan food :) It was good. Then we planned....and taught Brother Hoover :) He reminds me of Grandpa Moore :) I wanted to hug him, but I didnt....... :) all is well then we had dinner which was Chili and it was so good! man I'm hungry again...

Friday: We had District Development Meeting and a Stake training meeting. That took some time, and we had to combine Lunch and Companion Study....We also split up again and Sister Garlitz taught Linda with a member and Sister Roberts and I went and tried people with a recent convert that is 16 years old :) It was so much fun! Found out that Linda is in Mosiah now! I talked with her Sunday and she said that she was limiting her self to 1 chapter a day so that she doesn't run out of things to read..haha yeah :) she is so great! Then we got PizzA!!! Not just pizza :) Indian Pizza! It was so good! then we stopped and met a few more members.

Saturday: This was the day of events :) haha :) We had a lesson with a few people and then lunch with this really cute older lady. She likes us to call her grandma :) and she emails us after we leave! AWE :D and then walked and walked...and tried a few people after that then we tried a referral we received from a member. We got to the gate and there was a little latch, we undid the latch and we also saw a sign about a dog being on the property. So we rattled the gate, and nothing happened...so we went in, rang the cool Door bell, then after a few mins knocked...nothing happened...then all of a sudden a dog goes out wagging it's tail and sniffing us :) totally happy to see us. Then...She said, "You need to leave now! Those dogs are not happy you are here and nether am I. You really had to work really hard to get through that gate didn't you. Leave NOW!" That isn't word for word, but pretty much she was not very happy or very nice....so we apologized and it was clear she didn't even want to hear us out. so as we walked away Sister Roberts said, "We hope you have a better day." and then she shook her Pepper spray at us! We got in the car and I just felt so sad...I really saw that she wasn't happy and I know that the gospel could make her so happy! hopefully one day we will be able to contact her and she will be happy to hear our message. We tried a few people, but not so much luck. We went into a less actives home and I know that she really needed our help. it was so great!


Sunday: Okay I am running out of time, but it went really great! I saw Bear and it was so awesome! She should teach him this week! I love this work so much!

Love you all and hope you have a great week!
