Bonjouer!
We started out this past week with Zone Conference. Which meant we were doing car inspections. Sister Brown was explaining it to me. All I heard was "prizes", and I was in. We vacuumed our car like crazy. We wanted to win so badly that we took a lint roller to the inside too. We drive to Albuquerque singing and asking questions. You know...living it up! When we got there, we had to check the car obviously. Sister Brown doesn't know anything about cars, but your girl was taught by her dad. I told her to just wipe down the car, and I will take the tires and the dip stick (I taught her how to do it so she could do it in the future). We popped the hood, and Sister Brown screamed. I thought she had touched the engine or something. She said" oh my gosh is that a squirrel?!?" Nope. It was a rabbit...just chilling in our engine. It was there for an hour and a half!! Anyways the elders came running over and caught the rabbit. Then they chased it for about 5 minutes. I don't know why...boys are weird. That was entertaining.
We didn't win the car inspection because there were 2 brand new cars. How are we supposed to beat that!?
We have been teaching this lady named Debra and she rejected us this week. That was really sad. We called her to check in and right off the bat she told us not to talk religion with her anymore. We are "dripping" on her because she gets in these moods. We set up a time to call her again, but she didn't answer. She texted us the next day and was like "we set up a time, but I didn't hear from you." She's sassy.
We're also teaching Bruce. I talked about him a little bit in my last letter, but he's a pretty cool dude. We have to teach him each point individually because he can't remember. Last night we were teaching Joseph Smith's first vision. Right before we shared his account, his wife comes out!! His wife is very opposed BUT she joined our lesson! She made comments and prayed for us. That was REALLY awesome. We asked if we could come to teach both of them and they said yes! Sister Brown and I are very excited!!!
I've been having withdrawals. Everything here is red or green chille, but no potatoes. I'm so sad. I got some fries this week...which was nice. Sister Sims fed us last night, and she gave us potatoes (she asked us earlier if we were craving anything and I said potatoes lol). We taught the Conlin family and the dad asked where I was from. As soon as he heard Idaho, he just went "YES! The potato capital of the world! I love potatoes!" After the lesson, they gave us a hot homemade loaf of bread.. I think I just found my favorite family ;)
I got to meet Sister Taunia and Sister Bergauer. Both of them have amazing testimonies. When you talk to them you can tell their relationship with Christ is SOLID and STRONG. I started tearing up in both lessons. I would come back here just to visit them. Wow. I wish you could meet them.
We helped a member paint her house. I got to do the floorboards and up by the ceiling. Didn't get a single drop on the floor or ceiling. No tape. Nothing. I have watched my mom do it a hundred times and I copied her technique. However, I am still a mess and spilled my entire glass of water all over her table. That was embarrassing. She was super nice about it though. We got to help several other people with their yard work which was fun and hot. I'm sure the temperature says like 70° but the humidity plus working hard...not a good combo. We did get to know more about this area and about winter. Let's just say...mom you probably want to send the coat. I've had multiple people tell me that it snows quite a bit. Who knows though. I could be further south come winter.
We got to do street contacting!! We have to walk to church because we are going OVER miles. On our way back home, this guy pulls over next to us. He's got tattoos and gages. My first thought was he's about to cuss us out. NOPE! He talked to us and introduced himself. We've been talking to his wife and now we can connect the dots. Then this old guy was walking his dog. He stopped to talk to us too! And he lives across the street!! Sister Brown and I are planning to go heart attacking in that neighborhood. #blessings
Oh!! Have I got a story for you. We go to this old couples house to do housework for them. I was sent to the kitchen to sweep. I drag the broom under the dishwasher. Bruh. It was just black. These tiny little black dots. I do the same thing and get even more. It was mouse poop. A lot of it. I was like "hallelujah I am wearing a mask right now." Then the old guy comes into the kitchen and walks through my pile. Now I know how my mom felt. I also wiped down their counters because they were also covered in little mouse poops.
BTW...Saturday was my month mark!!
