Well I hope everyone had a
great independence day. We missionaries forget there are these things
called holidays. (except Christmas as Mothers day ;). We were driving
back from exchanges when we saw the firework show in Durango. My
favorite part of it all was to see all the city come out and be a
standstill. As we drove home we saw people pull over to stop and watch
the show. crowds of people were all standing on side of the roads threw
whole town looking up in aw. We joked that this is what the second
coming might look like. ;) My companion was staying the night in
Blanding for exchanges that night so I got to give advise were the bst
place in there is house is to watch the show. Its crazy to think I was
there a year ago watching that very show.
The
Elders forgot to plan a District hike so this week we will go YAY! We
stayed busy and went to the fish hatchery and wildlife museum instead.
We
are working on building our teaching pool so we are starting to get
serious abut trackting. Though most missionaries say that its not the
most effective but if you have the faith you will have the miracles. And we
did!!! We got three new potential investigators. You get the funniest
stories when you go knock peoples doors. We had a young woman answer the
door with "oh hey!" We were a little taken back by how friendly she
was. Normally they panic when they see us. So we guessed she might be a
member but kept talking about who we are expecting that she was going
to stop us and say "oh sisters i'm a member" But no. We found out shes not
but has had a LDS family pick her up off the streets and take care of
her for a while. She loves the church. She then randomly blurted out "do
you want some blueberries!" My comp and I just looked at each other and
replied sure. so she got out a big basket of them we we all just stood
there eating. She was so funny. We were even able to give her a Book of
Mormon and invited her to pray about it.
