We found a new investigator named J. who is awesome. He's read the Book of Mormon before and has a lot of questions. We'll be visiting with him again on Thursday. There was another cool guy across the street who we'll definitely visit again in the future. He's in Salt Lake City fairly frequently for work and his Gma recently passed away. He was really close to her and has a lot of questions about the Plan of Salvation.
Honestly, one of the best things about this week was having a phone. Hooray!!! And we had a few copies of the BoM! Contacting is so much easier when you have a copy of the BoM and a phone number to give.
We were also able to meet our bishop last week. It was a visit filled with a lot of validation. I had felt like we were visiting so many people and yet accomplishing so little, but when we asked Bishop who he had on his mind that we should visit, all of the families he mentioned we had already visited and could give him an update. Hallelujah! Somehow out of all the random people on the roster, we'd visited the ones that mattered most to Bishop! :)
Sister K. came by on her extension training. It was super fun to be with her again, and Sister P. loved it as well. We did a lot of tracting with Sister K. (that's her favorite thing). It was good to talk with her. It's been ages.
Also, I've officially converted Sister P. to huevos rancheros and chicken salad. They are her favorite! I will be introducing her to Norwegian pancakes this weekend in honor of general conference, and she gets to try the delicious homegrown applesauce that Mom sent for Christmas! Yahooo! So excited for conference. We are so blessed. I love being able to tell people while we're out contacting that they can literally listen to a prophet this weekend!
Easter was wonderful! We ate with a young couple who had invited their nonmember aunt over. Her name was Aunt R, so I couldn't help but smile and sing Veggie Tales a little last night. It was too hard to resist!
We have cool preparation day plans today. We'll probably play a little kickball with the Elders if there's time. We still don't have a dryer, so laundry may take some extra time! :) I love you all! Enjoy this conference weekend. It is going to be amazing! We literally have the opportunity to listen to prophets and learn how we can personally change ourselves and our actions to draw closer to our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. After all, it all comes down to the Gospel/ Doctrine of Christ. Life is all about changing ourselves through repentance!
P.S. My departure date is May 30. I don’t know flight details yet. There are at least 18 sisters coming in the May transfer (more than usually come in a year) so I will have a lot of area to cover when I start floater training!
