"This past weekend we did exchanges with the Huntington sisters
again, and this time Sister C and I were companions (: it was SOOOO
fun!!! We have become really good friends over a course of a few weeks.)
We got to participate in an "adopt-a-highway" clean up Saturday morning
together, and it was so perfect for Earth Day! However, we found ticks
on our clothes on the way home...Sister J said later that the ticks
get really bad out here. Good thing I have tick repellent in my
mosquito repellant stuff! Ticks are so gross."
"We finally did have lunch with the pastor! It's way funny, cause we
actually tracted into this guy back in March. Didn't know he was the
same person. He's more like a teacher at the church he belongs to. He
also teaches history. He wants to do a radio show with a few people from
different religions, and sort out some of the misconceptions about
these different religions, mormons included. Our president doesn't want
us participating, but we did sit down and answer his questions. Unfortunately we didn't get to really teach him. They were all
superficial questions about our takes on some scriptures, the sacrament
and who Joseph Smith was. He was open to learning about the gospel, but
more for other purposes, and not for himself. The TWO HOURS we spent talking to him Sister J and I feel
like were kind of a waste of time. We didn't really get to help him come
to Christ. It was kind of lame, but the roasted tomato asiago something
or other bagels at the resturaunt were so so so good."
"We have a new investigator! She had visited with previous sisters,
but something happened between her and them that made her turn away from
learning about the church anymore, but now she feels like it's time to
try again...and me and her connect REALLY well!!! I love her so much!! During
exchanges me and Sister C went to her house and we made homemade
spring rolls and teriyaki chicken! I LOVED the spring rolls...it made me
think of making won tons and having Chinese with grandpa. Good times
with chinese! (: "
"I was introduced to a new instrument on Sunday!! That family that
has gone Catholic have this three stringed 3
1/2 ft long ukulele thing called a strum stick. Youtube it!!! They are
sooo cool!!! I may or may not have to buy one towards the end of my
mission!! Last night we went to the BYU-Idaho symphony concert. Lilith, Gerald, and Seldon were there (: I love running into them!" These are some of her relatives that live in West Virginia.
