On Monday, after emailing we just stayed in the apartment to avoid the killer heat! Summer is settling in. DUN DUN DUN!
Then at 6 we left and we were still walking at this point.
Basically it is a mile to just get to our area and another couple of miles to get to where people actually live!
And when we finally got there no one was home or they didn't want to hear our message. *sigh*
On Tuesday, Sister Nash took us grocery shopping because she is nice, and also she insisted. We tried some people after that but no one was home. *sigh*
Even our scheduled appointments fell through...
We had dinner with the Andersons and then that was our day.
LUCKILY we got the car the next day after we had district meeting!
Hooray!!
We visited Almedia and she gave us candy. :) It was yummy.
The rest of our appointments didn't work so we tracted and tracted.
But thankfully we were able to see the Aguiluz family. They are less-active and also recent converts. They have 9 children I think, I don't think I have had the pleasure of meeting them all. The oldest is 17 and the youngest is a newborn.
Because they have a small army for a family, it is sometimes really hard to go over and visit them. It is like a miracle when we can visit with them! Monday was one of those days! We talked and got to know them a little bit more.
Their dog attacked my face. He was very excited and jump all over us! I LOVED it!
Thursday was probably the hardest day because, no joke, NOTHING HAPPENED!
We knocked and knocked on doors and nothing.....
We tried potentials that we found in the area book. Nothing.
We tried less-actives. Nothing.
And so we cried. Not really, but we felt like it.
We had dinner with the Singleton's and that is always fun. We talked about the 2,000 stripling warriors with the boys and they liked that!
On Friday, we weekly planned, after that was done we went tracting.
We had dinner with the Woods and then we saw Sherry.
Sherry has been really sick lately but she said that she was on the up and up! We just read the Book of Mormon with her and talked about being content and having faith in the Lord.
We talked about how we BELIEVE in Christ, but do we BELIEVE Him? We have faith that He is there but do you really believe that He will help us.
It turned out to be a really good lesson!
Yay!
Saturday was my 4 month mark! That is not acceptable! Time should just SLOW DOWN!
We got to see Tora again but that was very brief because her power was out. A really big storm hit that morning and a lot of people were without power. Our power kept on going off and then going back on. Crazy southern weather...
We also got to see Sister Carle. The nursing home that she is in is renovating so it has been hard to catch her in her room, but we got to see her and talk to her for a bit.
Yesterday, we went to try a potential we found in the area book but when we got there they must have moved or something because the guy who answered was not the person. We tried to talk to him anyway.
We asked him "Hey are you Corey Cox?"
"No I am only Spanish."
"OK, well we are missionaries and we are sharing a message that can strengthen our faith in Christ."
"OK bye."
Then we went tracting and this guy told us he couldn't talk to us because he is crippled. People come up with the strangest excuses....
Then we went home to take a break out of the heat and get some water.
Then we were going to go teach Dakota but he told us that he was really busy and that he had to reschedule. *sigh*
So we visited the Bishop's family instead, and played with their new kittens.
Then the heavens opened up and rained. It rain really hard too!
We had a bad storm last night that kept Sister Olsen and I awake. The thunder is so loud and strong, and the lightning is so bright! Thunderstorms here are the mother of all thunderstorms. Storms in Utah are weak compared to this craziness!
I saw this lizard just chillin' on the side of the house. |
