Well the fruits of our labors are coming forth! We had a few less actives come to church yesterday, i'll tell you that story in a min, but we also had these investigator of 7 years come to church! 7 YEARS!! I was so excited! Like i dont know how to put in to words how excited i truly was! After Church was over I was sitting next to Dennis one of our investigators, he looked over at me with the biggest smile on his face. He just kinda sat there for a second and said "3 hours thats it?!? I could go for 4 or 5 ours of this!" How awesome is that?!?! I mean I have a hard time with 3 hours some days and he was sitting there asking for more! I am in love with the work I am able to do!
Okay so back to the less active members. In Hershey they have a main street that is called Chocolate Ave. cool huh ;) But anyways all our plans fell through and we had an hour and a half left until we could really go back home. So we decided to go street contact. It seemed like a good idea, but as we walked up and down the street we had a lot of people yell some pretty degrading things at us. So to give you an idea, the whole time I have been here i have only had 4 people do things like that to me and my companion. That night in less than an hour we had 10 people yell at us and even had someone try to spit on us.... Needless to say I was discouraged. There were somethings that were said to us that were real nice like a lady congratulated us on being Mormons, saying that she wished she could be like us but just didnt want to take the effort to try. So now i bet you are thinking hey what about those less actives, well the awesome thing is that through us walking up and down that street they saw us walking. And they were touched by the spirit and came back to church the next day! Amazing, that's all i can say!
Well its embarrassing to say, but i am having a rough time with getting along with my companion.... And you know me, i usually can get along with anyone and everyone. But we are just totally on different pages. My thought process does not match up with his. And the way he goes about things just doesnt make sense! I try not to get discouraged, but it is hard. Like today he has seen me wearing my Devin bracelet the whole time I have been here and i have told him what it is all about. And today before our companion study he sat there and was telling me to take it off, i nicely said that this is the thing that keeps me going so no i will not take it off. He looked at me and said you will no longer have the spirit with you. Haha you know hard it was for me to refrain from just taking him out... Its embarrassing to say that is how i felt.. And there have been many times where he will turn down my ideas when i know for a fact that i have received a prompting from the spirit. I guess what i am trying to say is that i sure hope that there is something i am meant to learn from thing from this Elder..
Well to answer you questions yes i got my camera! Its a nice cute shade of pink.... The box said it was supposed to be black... HAHA and yes will you buy another memory card so we can send them back and forth to each other? The kind i got is a Sandisk and its a 8gb. So if you buy one and send it to me i can send you the one i have right now and you can see the pictures and videos i have and put them on the computer. Well I love you all! I miss you like crazy! You are all in my prayers every single day!
