Dearset Family,
The Mormon Message that I quoted in the subject is amazing!!! It really means a lot to me, espically after the week that we have had.
Sadly, this week we had two of our three investigators drop us. One of them was Sharon. She is the elderly sister that lives behind us in our apartment complex. We went to her apartment to see her, and she opened her door and said "You know girls, I dont want to pray anymore. And I hate to be rude, and tell you that I dont want you to come over, but I dont want you to come over. Have a nice day." We told her that she has our number and to call us whenever she needs anything. She then shut the door. :( It was sad. But, the Lord has someone else He wants us to teach. We were just hoping it was Sharon. All is well.
The other investigator that dropped us, was Robin. She was the single sister who was struggling with smoking. We went to her house to give her a get well card. We knocked on the door, and she asked who it was, and we told her the missionaries, and then all was silent. She didnt say a word. We then said that we had a card for her, and she still said nothing. It was really hard. I wasn't there. We were on exchanges, and Sister Young was with another sister. It was really hard. But that is okay. We havent seen her in a couple of weeks. I kinda knew that it was coming. Some other missionaries will teach her :) I just know it :)
Other than that, this week was hard. Every appointment we had it fell through, it was raining and windy all week. It was just tough. We did have some little miracles though :)
We went to go and see a former investigator, which is someone that other missionaries were teaching, and then the missionaries dropped them, or they dropped the missionaries. So, we went to see one of them. We went to the door, and they answered, and the lady said that she was going to go to Africa for about 2 months, but that we need to come back every week and teach her 20 yr old daughter and 17 year old son. We said okay, and are going to be calling them for a time we can some see them :) It was great :)
Another thing happened, we had a mini missionary! It was really neat. A lot of the stakes here send out their priests and laurels who sign up on mini missions. They go on a Saturday, and spend the day with missionaries. They get to experience it, and then really decide whether they are going go to on a mission for real, or not. It was way cool, so we had a mini missionary. She was really neat :) We loved having her with us, and we wished that she would have been able to stay longer. But she had school, and church, so that didnt happen. It was great though :) She said she learned a lot, and that she cant wait to go on a mission! It was so much fun! I kinda wish they did that when I was a laurel. It would have been nice to have at least some sort of idea to what I was coming out to. Oh well :)
We did have exchanges this week, as is usual now. I was in the City creek ward, which is the old highland 2 ward. (where our family use to live) It was way neat to go and be there. Sadly, we didn't have success in that ward either... Oh well. We did help set up a reception for a temple wedding though :) Sister Blaustein's son David got married this past weekend. It was so much fun to set up for it! I loved it! She told me to tell you hello :) It was great to help her with that :) We also had dinner with the Racardio's. They were so excited to have dinner with me! :) It made me smile. It was amazing to me how much their house felt like home to me. It was really weird. It was nice though :)
We do have a new investigator. His name is Denis. We met him through another former investigator. He is living in the investigators house with his family. We went over to schedule a time to see him, and he said that he had time then, so we taught him a lesson. It was crazy!! It was way good though :) We enjoyed teaching him :)
Well, I have a funny story this week!! Or more like, two or three. So, first one. When we were at the Racadio's we were teaching them the restoration in 5 mins. I had the great apostasy, and was really focused on what I was going to say. I was thinking of the great apostasy, and went to say it, when the words the great depression came out of my mouth. We all made funny faces, and then I quickly recovered. It was funny :)
Next story. We were teaching Denis the Restoration, and we were going over when Christ was killed, and so were the 12 apostles, and we thought we were doing really well. Well, Denis's mom was with us, and when we took a breath, she was like, "So you believe that the 12 apostles killed Jesus?" We like freaked out! It was so funny! hahaha We couldn't even believe that she thought that was what we believed. It was way funny. We did clarify what we believed. It was good :)
The last funny story I have happened in our apartment. Me and sister young were thinking about the transfer, and everything, and we realized that we only have like 12 days left with each other. It was way sad. We were laying on the floor, when all of a sudden she reached over and with one finger starts petting my stomach and saying shhhh. I gave her the weirdest look. She started laughing and was like "Did you know that to make a lizard go to sleep, you pet its stomach?" Oh man. It was one of the funniest things ever!! We couldnt stop laughing! It was great :)
I love you all so much! You are in my prayers!! Have a great week!! <3<3<3<3
Love Always,
Sister Randall
