July 13, 2015 Snakes, Snakes, Snakes-Black Racers

 

 

HOLY COW.! THIS TRANSFER HAS BEEN THE FASTEST THING OF MY LIFE! I KNOW IT'S BECAUSE WE ARE STAYING BUSY.

So this week was pretty nice.. it was hot! lol. We get the car on the weekends and the other sisters get the car on the weekdays.

So Monday we had dinner with some transplants ( that is what they call the ones that aren't really from the south.) They were awesome! This is just a wonderful ward. We then went walking and contacting. We found a few potentials. That was really awesome! On Tuesday we had Zone Training. That was fun, I learned a lot. We then went out to lunch with the zone afterwards. We went to this Mexican restaurant. It was good. The waiter took a selfie with us.. lol.. We then saw R. she is coming along. She has some health problems but she is coming along and understanding The Book of Mormon more.  Then we had to ride the Trolley home.. That is always fun. Some pretty interesting people ride the Trolley.. But, they are children of God too. So we were meeting a member at Firehouse Subs for dinner and we were walking there.. while we were walking I looked down and see a snake.. ( my companion HATES snakes.) I screamed like a 12 year old girl and she then sees the snake.. she jumps back yelling "OH MY GOSH, OH MY GOSH, OH MY GOSH" it was pretty scary.. so we started walking and we took about 2-3 steps and see ANOTHER snake... we then were very shaky as we walked on the grass.. haha the joys of the south. ;) Good thing the snakes were just Black Racers.. Still pretty creepy.. 

Wednesday we contacted some referrals.. tried some others... and guess what? Got caught in the rain... AGAIN! This time we were walking.. haha... It started pouring. it was pretty awesome... we hid under a building (the doors were locked.) We were really afraid of the rain.. and we were already dripping wet.. the thunder and lighting was super close.. so that is what was scary. We called a member to come and get us.. 

We then had scripture study. That was really cool. We had a non member and a less active come. They really enjoyed it and the spirit was super strong. We then talked to the Relief Society President about some people she wanted us to see..

Thursday we did weekly planning and saw G.and A. H. came with us. She is awesome! We taught the first half of the Plan of Salvation. It was pretty good. We then tried some others for about 2 hours... No one was home... or didn't live there anymore.. She then took us out to FROYO! It was pretty sweet! They had some pretty delish flavors.
Friday we saw one of our new Gators. We didn't get a chance to teach her much so we will try back in a few weeks.

We set up for volleyball.. and had correlation.. we then saw some recent converts and less actives. We went to volleyball and no one came.. So we helped out the sisters and made their baptism program for them. 

Saturday we tried visiting about 15 people in about 2 hours and not a single person was home... Just kidding one was... but she told us to never come back.. people are just not very nice sometimes.. Oh well it's their salvation... we tried.. lol... That's horrible of me.... ;) 

We did get to see a few people. That was nice.. 

Sunday we went to the sisters baptism. That was nice there were 3 boys that were getting baptized. They are super cute. We then tried to see 2 different investigators. One wasn't home and the other was busy. We had a nice dinner with this awesome family. They work at the jail and told us some pretty cool stuff. We saw some returning members. They are super awesome! He was baptized a little over a year ago. They are starting to come back to church! They have been the last 2 weeks.  I am so proud of them. 

Well, sorry this letter was pretty lame.. Hope you guys have a wonderful week! I love y'all. 

Keep being "Boss" as Elder Lopez our DL would say. 

Love, Sister Hannah Seegrist
