"I feel so boring because I usually have such a dramatic story to tell about my past week but really I had a perfect missionary week. Nothing crazy happened but hundreds of good things happened.
-I got a new companion. She's from Florida. She's 19, nice, kind, and a great teacher. I love being companions with her. I miss my cute little Mexican sidekick but it'll be okay.
- We brought a member to a lesson and pulled up and she says "This is my brother's house." Turns out we are teaching her life long friends! Miracle of miracles!
-We got a referral. To be honest I'll take all referrals but I've never had a great referral. We contacted this family and we talk to the mom. It was kind of weird because one second she would act super interested but then the next she would tell us that she's just doing this for her friend. When we are leaving the couple walks out with us closes the door and says, "Just so you know; we want to convert. We were just acting cool, because our mother in law will be really upset but we are looking to becoming members." WHAT A MIRACLE!
-We had a ward party and because I've been in the same area since September I know all the members and they all make me feel so loved.
- We walked to church with our investigator and her 2 daughters. I held hands with the 4 year old daughter the whole way. During the day the four year old said "You`re cuter than her" (I'm cuter than my companion), "Who's your boyfriend?" "What does friends mean?" "Sister Smith, I want to be a missionary." I LOVE FOUR YEAR OLDS.
- A less active called us, and said that she's been less active for a number of years but would really like to come back to church and asked when we could come over and invite her to church.
- We had 5 investigators at church, and it was ward conference so it was a spiritual dream.
- We got a ten in clean checks.
It was just a great, great, great week. To a missionary it would be a dream but to a normal person it sounds boring. Sorry, but you get the point where being exactly obedient and teaching lessons is the best thing. Life is great! I love being a missionary! I love life and I love the Lord."
