We went out finding one day and we walked past this weird festivity thing. There were these guys with these really long spear things in the side of their cheeks and it was very disturbing!
These little girls came up to us and were begging for money and they kept tugging on me and following us, they even crossed the road when we did. We wanted to cross the road again but they blocked the path and wouldn't let us pass. Sister Badde gave them a Plan of Salvation pamphlet and while they were distracted we quickly ran across the road. It's pretty sad but apparently little kids like that work for the Mafia and their job is to go out and beg for money and then bring it all back to the Mafia President.
I'm pretty sure our Mission President, President Hansen is the best Mission President ever! We got a call from him saying that he was coming to our apartment to do a survey. When we opened the door him and his son was standing outside the door with a bouquet of flowers for each of the Sisters. He was like here's some flowers for each one of you beautiful Sisters! It was the sweetest thing ever.
I had my first Zone Conference on Saturday with Elder and Sister Evans. It was really good! The whole Conference was focused on finding and how we can more effectively find and have the faith to find and that as we put our trust in the Lord we'll know what to say when we open our mouths.
On Sunday I woke up feeling really sick like I was going to vomit or something but I still had to go to Sacrament Meeting as Sister Badde had her farewell talk and so I went and I thought I was just gonna vomit in the chapel. I had talked with Sister Hansen and I ended up just going back to the apartment and sleeping all day. I finally felt better by the night. But then I woke up this morning and I see these bite marks on the back of my leg and then this massive black bruise and I have no idea where a bruise like that came from so I reckon I was probably feeling so sick because some bug bit me or something.
My trainer Sister Badde goes home tomorrow so my new trainer is coming tonight. Her name is Sister Ramu and she's real great! Thing is that I have to be the one that knows the area now and I'm like ah I've only been here for like three weeks and the streets all still look the same so wish me luck that I'll be able to find people's homes!
When you place your hope in Jesus, you place your confidence in His promises that he will never leave you or forsake you - that he will do what is best for you.
Hope enables you to be and peace, knowing that Jesus is with you every step of the way. - Jeffrey R. Holland
