NOT being split up. ITS LIKE CHRISTMAS MORNING.
Literally whoever prayed for us PRAY AGAIN FOR LIKE A MILLION DOLLARS!?!?!? because the Lord heard your prayer and me and Sister Beuchert are actually staying together as STL's!
Literally got NO sleep last night because the area I THOUGHT/knew I was going to....they told another Sister we were with she was going there.................then some Elders called to tell us how they destroyed us in our "friendly" key indicators competition #depressed and said they are opening part of their area out in the BOONIES for Sisters........and the room went silent..............and everyone looked at me...................................."Oh."
So thought I was going to WINFIELD population: 3 all night..............FREAKED out this morning in the office when we saw the Transfer list.....interrupted an intense meeting with Pres but WHATEVS he asked for it.
So.happy.relieved.every.emotion.with.it.
OK enough about that.
No time. New Sisters are coming to stay with us tomorrow which means...like we actually...have to clean....stuff........#confession
OOPS
WHAT.EVEN.HAPPENED.THIS.WEEK.
oh yeah.
FIRESIDE.
So remember how I've never mentioned the fact that we are having this big musical fireside for the whole zone and all the missionaries started inviting people to like last week....and it was on Saturday....and the ZL's told me I was in charge of it?
Yeah that's because I just found out last Monday.....and it was on Saturday...................
and there was a giant ice storm on Saturday.....but we still did it..............
and the SONGS sounded great............................to the Twenty-EIGHT people who showed up. Twenty-EIGTH spelled out for you to emphasize the miniscule number that is.
28.
I counted.
In the whole chapel.
hahahahah like literally we all just could not stop laughing at how many people there were. like passed out 1,000 flyers that is NOT an exaggeration. literally 1,000 printed. Elders at the mall like every day handing them out.
28 people.
7 of them were children/infants.....so they maybe don't even count.
So.......introducing FIRESIDE 2.0: THIS TIME ITS PERSONAL EDITION.
Same fireside.....just in 3 weeks with more time to invite.....
CONSTANTLY AMAZED AT THE IDEAS ELDERS COME UP WITH. But we are grateful for their......contributions. :)
SIRITA!
Sparknotes version:
Few weeks ago driving to find a referral.....realized NOT even in our area......turning around passed someone with a flat tire.....instantly got impression to help them...........flipped around. stopped.
realized we don't know HOW to change a tire.............
*calling Elders*
Blessed little Elders not even in our WARD miss an appointment to come help us because we sounded desperate but it was so weird the INSTANT I saw these 4 black girls squished in a tiny yellow bug I KNEW.............gospel. to all of them.
So the weather is nothing short of 0 degrees....my face has become numb...hand is literally frozen on to a metal rod thing im somehow holding trying to assist in even who knows what with the Elders as we herd the girls in to our car to stay warm and I'm giving Sis. Beuchert the "teach them the gospel or I'll put 30 cats on your bed as you sleep" look.....and MIRACLE......24 minutes later have 4 new investigators...............................................WHO ARE NOT EVEN IN OUR AREA. #depressed but ya ya hastening the work blah blah pass it on whatever.
THEN the Zone Leaders teach her...Sirita...other 3 kinda drop off......../didn't even live in Wichita.....
BOMB lesson. Find out she is not even in THEIR area....pass her off to Elders who changed the tire (we are like cheering tender mercy Elders sacrificed and end up getting it BACK)
GO to find her.............NOT EVEN IN THEIR AREA (she was bopping around peoples houses?)
LANDS IN OUR AREA.
died.
of happiness.
Taught her. So prepared. Planning her baptism.
Came to church yesterday for the first time and she's telling me how her Sisters/cousins are like MORMONS? you cant go they have like tons of wives! im like haha ya we get that all the time.....(thinking she gets it....)
"So do you see that a lot in the Church?"
polygamy??
"ya"
um no.....not ever. you thought that was true??
"Gurrl yea! I'm like oh.....whatever." still.came.to.church.....! hilarious.
