This week has been full of some amazing, crazy, interesting stories which makes it just amazing! I'm a really happy missionary right now! :D The first story is about Gary that I mentioned in my last e-mail... Turns out he's crazy. We just decided to hand him over to the elders who are suppose to teach him. We saw them on Thursday after Institute and asked them what happened to Gary. The first thing they said was, "You didn't tell us he was crazy!" Apparently he was at the church all Wednesday just wandering around the church. He had no shoes on and was looking for his wife... then mentioned the name of Anderson (my comps name). He also had tally marks all over his arms (For those who have seen Doctor Who that's what I thought of). The bishop that was there finally called the cops. And that's all we know. His car is still parked outside the church. And Sister Anderson is pretty scared. The thing is I know we are protected. I had left my binder there on Monday and all Wednesday I wanted to go back and get it but each time I had that thought the Spirit would tell me that I had better things to do. I'm not very worried. We'll just continue to follow the Spirit and we'll be safe(:
So yeah that was kind of crazy but what I'm about to tell you next is just off the walls amazing! We have an investigator named Skylar. He is super prepared and loves reading and learning about the gospel When we talked to him about baptism he said that he wanted to read all the Book of Mormon and Bible. Of course we told him that wasn't necessary to come to know oif it was true, but he wanted to think about it. This past Saturday we went back and we asked him what he thought. He told us that he wasn't ready. The Spirit told both Sister Anderson and I that we shouldn't say much. So we just started teaching Lesson #3. When we got to baptism he started to use an analogy on why he wasn't ready. And in mid sentence he said, "What am I talking about!? I am ready for baptism. I'm ready!" The Spirit hit all of us like a wall! I couldn't breath! I'm pretty sure that was the strongest I have ever felt the spirit. I almost cried(: He's now praying about a date either April 19th or the 26th. The Lord truly blesses you after the trail of your faith. I haven't had a baptism since my first transfer. I'm sooo happy!
There are some pretty amazing people here. One is named Jose Sanchez. I knew him when I was in the Fort Lupton ward. He just started going to the singles branch when I got there. It was my first day in the branch, Sister Anderson's companion Sister Hauet was still there so we were in a trio for about a day. But I felt so left out and I wanted to cry because I missed Hna Trujillo so much. When we walked into FHE I hear, "Durfee?" It turned out to be Jose. I was so happy I wanted to hug him so bad! Don't worry it didn't happen. We just shook hands as hard as we could. We've seen him a lot since then and its been so great! I also mentioned Oscar who is doing great! He came to part of General Conference and even took notes.
Missionary work is really amazing! I would never trade this even if I could! :D <--- Very Happy Girl!
I love you guys! Thanks for all the support! I hope to hear from some of you!
