Hello My Little Monsters...
This week has been nutso. So crazy busy. I love it. We had exchanges last week and for the first time I left SKYLINE! It was scary/exciting. I went to Ralston. So..let me help you understand what that means. I went from country clubs to ghetto thugs. SO SCARY. I've been so spoiled in Skyline that a common everyday event totally freaked me out. But don't worry. I lived and was able to laugh it off. We were talking to black guy by his trunk about prophets or something... and this drunken girl comes stumbling out of her apartment and is yelling.. @##$%$%&*&$^$#!!!!!!! I didn't know who exactly she was talking to... but then the guy we were talking to ended up being her boy friend and he starts laughing he's like "Baby baby relax, its the MORMONS!" and shes like I don't care who the #$%$#%^ ... you get the idea. So we start to leave and crazy chucks her keys at me and starts clawing at her boyfriends face while trying to chase after us...hahaha its funny now.. but.. was absolutely terrifying at the time. I LOVE MISSIONARY WORK! :) But we actually did have a pretty cool experience right after. We tracted into this woman who had met with the missionaries before and she had had a very difficult experience with her mothers death and she was upset with God and long story short..the spirit was so strong that was willing to let us teach her how to pray. and she DID! It was so amazing. She felt so good. We felt so good. And she wanted to set up another appointment. AMAZING.
Ok so this week in District meeting, Elder from Space, who is now im my district, (I'm sure you remember him from past e-mails...) had all of us in tears. He was talking about an investigator who they have been having trouble getting a hold of.. well I guess they FINALLY called them back and told them that she thought there were ghosts in her house and she wanted them to come and get rid of them. and this was his reply.. "Who do you think we are??? GHOST BUSTERS?? We're missionaries." haha and he was dead serious. I have been laughing about that all week.
Also, I had a dream. I have been SOOOO blessed to get my favorite candy from all my favorite people and thus I am literally swimming in pumpkin reeses. and am NOT complaining. Anyway. Back to my dream. I was at the grocery store with one of our recent converts (who just got her call to IDAHO :( haha. I totally get it. ) and there were reeses on EVERY isle. It was like super market sweep and I was opening as many bags as I could I was eating all these reeses and I'm pretty sure by time I had woken up I eaten at least 400. I woke up and seriously felt soooo disgusting. and you better believe I checked to see if I chocolate all up in my sheets. good news. it really was just a dream.
I've given up on my journal.
