Well Tuesday we had a really cool experience! We got out of dinner a little early and we had a potential in that same neighborhood so we decided to try her. I've never met her before so I'm just following Sister Park. She realizes we missed the house so we turn around and she sees it. Park goes "It's a bright green door! How did I miss it?" but we start walking up to it when a car pulls up in the neighbors driveway so this girl gets out of her car and we start talking to her. She said she has a lot of faith in Christ and would love to hear more of our message! Right before we were about to leave she tells us "You have no idea how much I needed this. I was having the worst day. I'm gonna go make a FaceBook status about you Sister Park and Sister Rodriguez!" hahaha it was so sweet. So we knock on her neighbors door, the potential, and she tells us she's not interested. It really strengthened my testimony of how God is in control. His plan is so good. The sisters were supposed to meet the lady behind the green door so we could come back later and meet her neighbor and help her have a little happiness in her bad day! One of my favorite things about the mission is seeing bits and pieces of God's plan come together. God is so good.
Another cool experience! We have an investigator named Karen. Last week on exchange, she dropped us so hard (I wasn't there but that's what they said) apparently she went off on how she doesn't believe what we believe (this is a few lessons after she told us she smokes weed and is gay so she doesn't want to get baptized). Well this week she reached out to us again! She's manic, so she told us she had a manic attack and couldn't remember anything she did. She said she was scared to talk to us cause she thought she offended us. So we went back to meet with her and she told us she's stopped smoking cigarettes and weed!! She's been smoking weed everyday since she was 12 but now she's quit because she wants to get baptized!! She's been free from them for almost 2 weeks now!!! The evidence of repentance is so apparent in her, it's incredible. She's still drinking coffee but she's working on cutting that down so she can get baptized! She keeps on telling us the things she used to do but now she's stopped so she can repent and be baptized, one of those is that she used to bring a huge purse to her therapists office and steal toilet paper when she would go! Hahaha she was like "But you know what? I didn't do that today. I don't want to do that anymore. I want to be honest." She is the sweetest and I just love her!
Thursday we had exchanges with the Greenwich Sisters aka my MTC comp Sister Hall!! It was so much fun to be with her again and see how much she's grown this past year!
Well, that's about it folks. The weeks are just flyin by and I can't believe it's already Monday again! Hope y'all have a good week!
