Yep.
Thats about it.
Its been a very poopy week.
Just like it says.
I didn't take any pictures this week because it wasn't very eventful and the events that are worth writing about..........
Yall don't want pictures.
You're welcome.
I will try to sensor it as best I can.
So we did a lot of finding this week, aka braving the awkward barrier and contacting alot of people who don't really want to talk to us and also knocking doors. Many empty ones that got lots of pictures of the Jesus and SLC and Laie temple stuck in them.
But we have a really good time tracting :)
This week was fun because I got my most creative rejection to date from knocking house!
So we tracting down this BEAUTIFUL street next to the lakefront. (who says you can't tract and walk next to the lake at the same time?) Its my favorite place.
Anyways. We were knocking doors and a quite elderly woman with a walker answers the door. We say some quick pleasantries and start in on our attention-getter spiel.
But she stops us with this line.
US: "...local sister missionaries and we-"
Her: "Uh oh. I have a problem."
Us: "-oh. okay. Whats that?"
Her: "I have diarrhea and I really have to go. Right now."
Us: "Um. Wow. yes please go. Mmkay bye."
Can I get a trophy for the quickest way to get someone off your front porch award?
No but really. I believe her. And I really appreciated that shut down.
But we just laughed and laughed about it and kept going.
--2 days later--
We go to a members house that is very sick with migraines and head issues and also takes care of her extremely elderly mother with Alzheimer's. She was feeling especially bad this week and called and asked us to do some housework for her that she just hasn't gotten to because she doesn't feel good.
OF course we can do that!! We go over there and knock..
She opens the door and says "Hold on a minute! I gotta run!"
So we step in as she moves as fast as she can to the back of the house.
And wow. It smells.... real bad. Can't breathe.
We look into the house and see there has been an 'accident' on the floor.
ANYWAY moral of the story, the mother is going downhill and needs to go in a nursing home soon because she is becoming to much to handle.
And we just happen to walk in on a VERY unfortunate situation that was only talked about 2 days earlier.
It was so gross and awkward we couldn't do much but laugh and have a better appreciation for the lady earlier in the week who turned us away before it got bad.
Then later in that day, we were driving with our windows down because its always so beautiful here! We are having a good time driving through a neighborhood and the worst, strongest, most putrid smell assaults the inside of our car like a wall.
We couldn't breathe. We were dying. And laughing so much didn't help having to take big gulps of nasty air.
We don't know whats going on but we sure hope that Heavenly Father isn't preparing us for something way way wayyyy worse.
We got the words
and the sight..
and the smell.....
Can we just stop it right there?
Tune in next week for hopefully nothing more!!
Dang. good times though.
Sister Stevenson and I have good times together :)
But other than that nothing much happened this week! Just normal missionary work with a ton, a ton of tracting and finding. trying not to take things personally and trying not to get too creepy excited when they give us a half yes or a return appointment. Making the best of everyday and loving and learning how to be the missionaries we want to be!
Its a great life :)
God is really good to us.
I love yall so much and I can barely think straight because I'm so excited for Kort and Dastan!
Good luck with the new baby that will be here SOON!
I'm so happy for yalllll :)))))))
I love you so much!
