I ate my first banana!
I hope everyone survived last week without an email from me. Im sure it was very hard to go so long without being graced with my wonderful emails. I know letters home from the war front are very important so I will make sure to send them every week.
The past two weeks have been really good. We hadn't had much success finding people recently but the past two weeks we have made some changes and have already seeing more success.
One cool experience from this week was we were sitting at the church one night calling people and we felt like we should go visit one of our friends. Then on the way over we were driving by a house and had a strong impression to knock the door. So we stopped to knock the door, they answered and weren't interested. So we went on to where we originally planning on. When we pulled up she had just gotten home and had been having a really hard past few days. It was really cool to see how the Lord arranged everything. If we hadn't talked to that person who wasn't interested then we would have showed up at the other person's house when they weren't home and not been able to be there for her during her hard time. This is definitely the Lord's work and we need to make sure to include him by having the spirit with us and being willing to follow it whenever.
On another note I ate a banana for the first time in my life. Everything about Bananas have always grossed me out so I've never had one. Well Elder Peterson found out and he's been trying to get me to eat one ever since. We were pulling weeds for someone this weeks and so told him if he jumps in the big pile of thorny weeds I would eat a banana. So Elder Peterson ran right into the pile lol. He was covered in small cuts and stuff but he said it was worth it. And I can also say i wasn't missing out on much with Bananas, they aren't that good.
It rained for like 3 straight days this week and so we would come back each night soaking wet which was pretty fun. Some people were more willing to let us into their house and talk for a bit because they felt bad for us haha.
