It's me again....
I forgot to mention that this week is transfers. TODAY actually..but good news.. I'M STAYING SKYLINE!!!!! Best. day. ever. I'm leaving my district, which I'm SUPER sad about it. Those Elders are hilarious and I love them all! I've been with them since I got here..so I guess its time to make new friends! Oh..and I'm staying still training Sister Unice. Which I'm also excited about it. She is totally crazy...and this is why we get along so well. I love that girl.
MIRACLES!!!! So many are happening here in Skyline. It's crazy. When I got here we had a teaching pool of ZERO. It's been hard work, but we have 2 people set for baptism and are now teaching THREE families and have THREE appointments set up with members and their friends who already want to be baptized!! and we haven't even taught them anything yet! I'm so excited... We are so so SO blessed to be trusted with having so many teaching opportunities!
A few night ago we were following up with a man we had given a mormon.org card to. His son invited us in (because it was FREEZING) and the wife was like "WHO ARE YOU???" and we told her.. and she said "we aren't interested, we're Christian!!" and I said, "thats wonderful! We are too! and she said "@#$45 6$%&%^* GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!!! YOU'RE A CULT AND YOU THINK YOU ARE GOD!!!! " It was terrifying. I'm thinking about sending her a Finding Faith In Christ DVD... :) I know she said she was Christian...but..lady definitely needs Jesus.
We were serving in the Trail Center yesterday, and Sister Proctor(SO AWESOME) is sitting there waiting for someone to come in.. and shes like " OH WOW.. ok.. who is this? This is someone famous? Yeah? No? WHO IS THIS GUY?" These two guys walk in and are SO friendly and come right up and shake our hands and ask us our names...blah blah anyway we find out one of the guys had serve his Mission here about 6 months ago. Well while he and his cousin were talking to Elder Watson (the Director) it hit me. He totally looks like Donny Osmond! We all starting laughing and cracking Marie jokes. I told Sister Proctor when she take them on tour just keep calling him brother Osmond. We were laughing pretty hard. (easily amused out here in the mission..i know..) Anyway.. long story short..She starts the tour and asks them their names..and he's like oh Thomas and Justin Osmond. WE LOST IT. hahahaha They were totally related. Made my day.
