Momm,
YOU
GOT RATS!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! [Yes, we got rats. Miranda got a job at school
and can pay for her own rats now, so we got rats. They are adorable.
Aoife (pronounced ee fa) and Sun (pronounced soon)] I cant wait to
see them. I had a weird experience this week. I was thinking about it,
and I was like "I just want to do missionary work. I just want to
knock." I think that that will go away after a bit of time, but it was
an
interesting feeling. So, dreams have been on my mind a lot lately,
because one of the members we ate with yesterday is an
expert in Psychology, and dreams are her passion. So I was trying to
remember all my weird dreams, so I could tell her about them and see
from a psychologist standpoint what they mean. She would probably tell
me things that I already know. So then what else happened this week?
Hmmmmm. well, we had an amazing miracle with this guy. I
met him on splits, a month ago, and I said, ok, lets go pass bye him.
He lives really close to our house. So, we went by and woke him up. He
hadn't been there every other time we had stopped by, so I was a bit
surprised, we asked if we could have a lesson. He said, "Not right now, I
would like to finish sleeping."so we scheduled for 4:00 that afternoon.
We go back, and as we begin talking, and sharing our message, his story
begins to unfold. You see, [he] was always a beleiver, and he said
that as he prays, he has always felt like he was heard. But the night
before, he was talking with some friends who didn't believe, and they
started asking him lots of questions, and he left that conversation
beginning to doubt his faith. But when we showed up at his door, he took
that as a sign that there is a God. The second lesson we had with him
on Thursday, and we almost left with him committed to baptism!!!!!!!!!!
He asked us "Could you guys baptize me?" We were like "Yes I think we
could!" But when we tried to commit him to a date, he said "well, I'll
have to see, I want to be sure this is true first."Then he began asking
questions about what being baptized would entail, etc. We were bouncing
off the walls we were so excited! The member we brought was a big help
to us as well! She just got back from her mission. So, this was all
really exciting. Then, we find out one of
the members invited a non-member to go shopping with her, and
they spent 6 hours together! and they talked about the church. It was
super cool!!! We were excited because that is what member missionary
work is! Just being friends with people. Having parties, doing fun
things with them! Anyways, Oh, we also found some really cool potentials
at a Cegep. Cegep is the step before college (Universite), but after
high school. Then one of our investigators cooked us some food
from Colombia! It was super good! Oh, one day we were knocking around a
cegep, and we found this apartment building that had a chalkboard on
it, so we drew out the Plan of Salvation, and wrote "want to know more?
Call (our number) " It was funny.
So that was my week. Momm, YOU
CANNOT DO POUTINE WITHOUT CHEESE
CURDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT
WEBSITE LIES!!!! IT'S A FILTHY, HORRIBLE LIE!!!!!! I love poutine
beaucoup! Cést ban bon. When we come up here, you shall see..... :)
[the girls and I had tried poutine with steak fries, a horrible brown
sauce that I made - it was REALLY salty - and shredded cheese since I
can't find fresh cheese curds in the grocery stores around here. I
finally found some semi-fresh curds in a specialty shop in Greene, but
I'm still looking for the "squeaky" cheese curds.]
I hope you all are doing well!!
Love you!
Get lots of Rats!
Get lots of Rats!
Faites attention de les Quebeqoui avec an dreapeu de Quebec sur
un grand camillon! [hmm, maybe this was the accident he forgot to tell
me about? Until this week - 4/22 - when he mentioned another accident in
passing as he was describing the two accidents he had last week?]
Je t'aime!
Bye-bye-le!
