Hello friends!
This week has been great!! It started Monday when we had the
opportunity to go to Louisville for the first time! A lady from the Methodist
church took us as well as the elders. We went to the slugger museum, it was so
cool and had so much history behind every baseball bat created. It made me wish
I was into baseball so I could appreciate it more! We toured the factory and at
the end they gave us mini baseball bats! The coolest part of the slugger museum
was after the tour was finished and people had kind of dispersed, the tour
guide came up to me and asked where our church was located. She explained how
she had wanted to attend for some time now but didn't know where the church
was. I was so excited! This the first time someone had come up to me and asked
to learn more, not the other way around! I was able to get her
information and I told her that we would refer her to the missionaries in the
area. We later found out that she was going to be taught by the assistants to
the President, so basically the missionaries in our mission. Then I got more
excited because I knew that they would take care of her, and she would be
receiving the message of the restoration by two of the greatest missionaries.
The believe it or not museum was also on display at the slugger, and we were
able to see some crazy cool things!! One thing that I absolutely loved was
the duct tape Chewbacca, I have a picture of it below.
We then went to the science museum; it was a ton of fun! I learned
so much and we were able to be ourselves and just have a good time! The whole
place was cool, but it hadn't been updated since the nineties, so basically we
were going to each thing and laughing how times have changed!
Literally every appointment fell through at the last minute so I
didn't even teach this week. The only cool thing that has happened was I got to
go on exchanges with the Sister training leaders. I went to Shelbyville and got
to do Spanish work. We met some really cool people while we were there. So most
of the night was spent going around and putting up fliers for English classes.
Every storeowner we asked said we could put up flyers, and were so sweet about
it! Went into a laundry mat to ask the same thing and they said yes and gave us
two places where we could put them up, then gave us permission to proselyte in
the laundry mat itself! That never happens! We are not even allowed to talk to
people in the Kroger parking lot! This lady was so sweet and I felt the spirit
so strong when I was talking to her. She told us that when the time is right
everyone will know what church is the true church of Christ but for now we were
just trying to make our way. It opened the door for me to testify to her that
the true church that she has been searching for is here and that we were here
to spread the message of the restoration of Christ church again on the earth in
it's fullness. She seemed excited by the thought.
We also had interviews this week. It was so fun, but I was
shaking in my boots before them and it ended up turning into a great
conversation! Sister Brough also loaded us up with healthy treats, which is
awesome!!!!!! But in our interview, the President came out and told us that
we're wasting our time with Cassie and that we needed to be focused on people
who are willing to change and become better. We were super sad and we both were
tearing up, but we knew he was right.
Anyway this week has been good! We only have 2 more weeks of
this transfer so I am almost out of training!!!!!!
I love you all so much!!!
