After two weeks in the field, I can confirm that missionary work is tough. Although, having a fun district makes it all worth it. Calling my family makes it worth it. The blessing from God make it worth it. Most of our face to face interactions are with people that are inactive or have been taught and weren't baptized. This group of people usually have hard feelings towards the church so knocking doors gives me hebeejeebees. Yesterday, a family saw we were coming to the door so the mom shut the door in front of us and walked away. We knocked twice and a little girl in the house walked by, looked at us and walked away. It kinda hurt but that stuff happens. In my opinion, it's best to just laugh it off.
On a better note, after a lesson I looked up at the stars and saw a shooting star. That made my week.
Our closest investigator to baptism is actually from across the country in Pennsylvania! Crazy huh!
Yesterday was my first fast Sunday in the field. I've have never wanted to curl into a ball and cry more than yesterday afternoon. We ate dinner on Saturday at 6 and did not eat until about 4:30. Let me tell you, I was a grump ball. I would compare myself to a gremlin from that one movie... I forget the name but it's with the gremlin pets that get fed after midnight and turn into mean gremlins.
So far, you probably think I hate life by the first three paragraphs but it is actually so fun! I learned how to do laundry and I could not be more excited.
Nothing crazy happened this week but I'll make sure something sick happens next week. I bought some protein so don't be surprised if I get massive.
Also, for some reason people love customizing license plates. So far I've seen:
Worms
Hly ghst
Lvn 420
Bow1ing
Audiios (was an audi)
Ten 8
Bsweet
God lvu2
Make a difference, Be the Difference
