Seeds of Faith
Soooo, as y'all know, in this area its pretty hard to find people. But this week we have been experimenting with more "love at the door". I felt inspired to tell this guy that God is aware of him and everything he is going through and that he is growing right now and he told us he reallyyyy needed to hear that and thanked us!! He has had a really rough year and he said next year is going to be rough too. He ended up saying he's not a super organized religion type of guy but thanked us-- he THANKED US for once, lol. (People never thank us because they are taught in their churches that we are sales people for evil.) The love approach saying what ever I feel Jesus would say when standing there has been super incredible to see! We also found a cute fam by starting off saying we felt we needed to tell them how much God loves them and is aware of them. People's defenses automatically go down when you make it personal and faithful!! We gave him a Book of Mormon and he said he would read it everyday!!! God is just amazing! We also found a lady who ran out of gas on the side of the road. We went and bought her a gallon and prayed with her and now she wants to meet with us and learn more!!! She said she was praying for someone to come help when we showed up. Feels good to be God's hands!

*INVITATION*
This week try to "love at the door" more by saying what you feel people need at the time before talking to them about your needs, plans or purpose for talking to them! As Enos said perfectly, many people's souls hunger for the life changing joy and peace that Christ is. Approaching others more like He would will also help you find answers as well!
Pockets of Fun
-Our besties Chelsea and Aubrey (they are in another ward but they are our age and are just a PARTY) got baptized on Saturday--so that was AMAZING!

-SPIDER (round 500)- Cola tried an umbrella to kill it so that was new--didn't work AT ALL so somewhere in our apartment he is just waiting to come eat us...
-A person we were teaching tried to justify calling his kids turds by saying it's a metaphor and that they should be the turd that floats not sinks baha--it was hilarious!
-THE JENSENS: They have a humungous house with a bowling alley, movie theatre, arcade, pool, and creepy Google Cast thing that talks to people anywhere in the house! It was nice to watch a Come Follow Me video on a big screen lemme tell ya. They invited us over for pday so best believe we will be going back!!!
-We went mini golfing last pday!!!! So fun. Aubrey and Chelsea were there too. It was super fun and I made an EPIC hole in one by kicking the ball--it was crazy!!

-We helped the Evans Sisters move apartments and they had to move their washer and dryer of course... Well no one told me that the washer would naturally still have water inside its little tube thingy. I was messing with it and then the water flicked/squirted ALL OVER ME and Sister Morrison and Smith's brand new floors--BAHAHA.
-Cola tried to use her Tiwi card (the card used for our annoying speed tracker on our car) on the gate to our apartment and was getting so frustrated before she realized it. It was soooo funny!
-My comp and I have decided we are Pain and Panic from Hercules:)

Gratitude
-Patriarchal Blessings: We got to go to our truly amazing friend Tania's blessing on Sunday and wow! The Spirit was so strong! She has overcome so much including escaping Cuba as a child and now is moving to Florida to start a new life and escape a bad relationship. God is so aware of her and will use her experiences to love others so much better and stronger. I will miss her tons but that blessing was perfect for her. God is Good!
-PIZZA JOINT: Some of the literally best pizza I've had EVER! If y'all ever come to Augusta you have to go there! AND we are going to start teaching a manager there--How cool is that? (We can give her more Jesus and she can give us more pizza--its perfect!)
-Warm Weather: It's FREEZING right now. I'm looking forward to spring which apparently comes early here so yay!

-That I get to dedicate my WHOLE life for 18 months to learning more about how Jesus Christ acted and preached by learning to act and preach as He did! It's definitely a process but dagum the blessings are so sweet!
