What's up everyone! This week was super sweet! And I'm not talking maple persimmon upside-down cake with maple cream sweet but meringue sweet. That being said, we had apartment inspections this week. Now let me tell you, I take these seriously and go Mr. Clean all up in the apartment. Sphhhh sphhhh that's the sound of me just spraying bleach all over everything. I mean grandparents would be proud walking into the apartment. Anyways, we acquired a pet bird the other day and almost trapped a squirrel with us too. They land on our balcony and then we scare them in. So mid apartment inspection doo doo doo everything is looking great when bang a bird flies out of the fridge. I did not know what to do except act stupid. So when they asked about it I said "what bird? I didn't see anything" luckily it was no problem. Apparently, it happens more often then you would think. Then on Wednesday we where driving the car beep beep and I look over to the left and see 2 younger guys lifting a bookshelf or something into a moving truck.... skirtttt we pulled over to see if they needed any help. They where pleased to see us and they assigned a guy to direct us for things to do. Turns out it was a moving company... there was about 7 of them and the 2 Mormons. We cranked that big clustered house out no problem. Planted a bunch of seeds because they were all super cool with us by the time we left and they even took us out to eat with them as well. Ha it was pretty cool. Then I gotta tell you about this lesson we had on I think Saturday with someone named Trey DeyBoy. He is a Jehovah's Witness/Wicken/Atheist and was raised in a Christian high school where he wrote essays going against The Book of Mormon. Well we started getting into it and he was dead set that Joseph Smith was a girl. Now I've heard some pretty bad ones before but this was new😂. They used this as an argument because God has never called a girl prophet in the Bible. And the list goes on with horses in the America's and blacks and the priesthood, which I love to teach because on their end its like you have been building a car but building it completely wrong your whole life. Then all of the sudden boom, if you ride my wave. I've learned I'm not the best at analogyies so that just means I gotta start using them more. Anyways this week was super good for the district! We all saw lots of miracles! We put our investigator named Dre'Elle Giroux on date for this month so excited for that. Anyways that's about all for this week that I have time to share with you all but I was thinking the other day, it is pretty crazy how many people we as missionaries leave an impact on. The quantity of lives you touch just blows my mind. Say on average we find 6 or 7 new people that we share a message with and began to teach a week. But that isn't even barely any of it. Every interaction we have with the 100 people a day leaves a little bit of something. I mean even if you are tracting and someone is mean and you just show kindness and they close the door. Think about how the spirit makes them feel for even a split second. 5 years down the road they may not treat missionaries the same way, then another 5 years down the road they could be prepared to receive the gospel. Crazy right. This church would not be alive today if it was not true and will be spread far and wide to all the corners of our cube like earth. So help your friends that aren't members because if you truly care about them you will help them come home.
