The week of contacting

Hi everyone! It was a grand old week and so now i shall tell you all about it. :)

Monday!- PDAY!!! Mary Hannah and Taylor from monterey came up and saw me! Well they came back from Utah and before going to monterey they came and saw me! It was soooo good to see them! I miss them. Except they got to go to the ogden temple open house so that wasnt fair. haha No im glad they went. So anywho after catching up with them we chilled at home and then went to dinner and to an appointment. The lady we taught is hilarious. She is less active but an RM and is so funny. she hates church. its hilarious. 

Tuesday-"I looked out the window and what did I see?" Toryn, elder hardy and elder hardy's brother.(elder hardy is now home and came back to visit people)  haha More monterey people! Yay!!! I am sure my companion wants to kill me by now. Sorry i cant help it if I am popular! haha just kidding,maybe. :)

So the rest of tuesday was good. it was actually a busy day. not a usual for tuesdays. and we met this awesome guy on the street named manuel. He wants to change his life, and he said he would read the book of mormon and we are going to go see him this week!

Wednesday-We helped an old lady named Elanor out.  she is having an estate sell and she used to be an antiques dealer so you can imagine what her house looks like. awesome. 

Thursday-a very busy day. we met a new family named mike and darlene! they are awesome! except for the part where they didnt come to church yesterday. lame. oh well. 

friday- more service. oh and we went contacting and usually sis powell will contact in spanish to the latinos but i contacted some and realized they didnt speak english and instead of helping me she just smiled. Awkward. haha i dont know spanish. haha also no one was talking to us so we saw a cat and decided to pet it but it ran away from us toward another cat so then we watched it hoping they would fight and then one of the cats started moving in slo-mo toward the other and then the big fluffy orange one ran away. boring. but if we hadnt stopped to watch the cats we wouldnt have ran in to john who walked around the corner just as we were leaving! and we had a great talk about christ and then he had to hurry off to go complete a drug drop. never a dull moment while contacting. haha

saturday-we met with our investigator dianne finally! she is from Rwanda! she is awesome.

Sunday. The contacting day. church was great. then it was time to go contacting. Sis powell is somewhat competative. so am i. So the elders really wanted to beat us in lessons. But i cant have that. and then we found out that the hermanas were beating us. we cant have that. so we went contacting. and kept teaching. it was great! so many great lessons! there was an awesome couple, and a fun pastor guy and another guy that told us that christ was a vegan... yeah. haha but then the best was when i guy walked up and had a gryffindor tshirt on so i started a converstaion about that and next thing you know we were all talking about harry potter and how i was in slytherin and how powell was in gryffindor but we were hanging out and then the guy was like. you two just made my day. and then we walked away. totally didnt relate it to the gospel at all. oh well. haha then we saw the hermanas and helped them get more contacts and in the end we tied for lessons but still beat the elders. but then i found out that there is a record of like 70 lessons taught in one week here in the mission. challenge accepted. 

have a great week! this church is true!
