7/22/13: On FIIRREEE

I'm really super ridiculously horribly repentantly guiltily sorry to say that something has been going on these past few weeks, I don't know what, and Sister Smith and I have not been as good of missionaries as we should be. We were definitely getting lazy.

NO MORE!!!

We've been working with a few good people, but prospective baptisms are still being worked on. Everyone has been falling through our fingers because of sources in and out of our control...so we decided to fix it and be more 'exactly' obedient. Every moment, exactly.

Well it took a few days but the fruit of our labors is showing as of this morning!

We went to 1-6 week training for Sister Smith with the new president and it was fantastic!! There was a huge focus on finding techniques which was exactly what we needed and it pumped us up for some REAL missionary work! We proceeded to go back to Waunakee and teach some fifteen people on the streets over the next two or three days. I am loving meeting so many people! It also benefits hugely to be living across the street from the major city park :)

While we met a lot of people and influenced them, most weren't really interested in meeting again, but we got a few precious souls! And we are hoping to see some results of our faith in the next few days as we follow up. 

New food of the week: Rhubarb. It's really good! Why haven't I had this before?

We got soaked through in a sudden summer storm yesterday. I haven't gotten stuck n the middle of a storm in over a month! It was pretty funny. And the member we were visiting got a kick out of it too, although she wanted to slap us for not calling her when the rain hit :P

I bought some bug spray and visited the doctor. Everything with the mosquitoes is much better now! Long story short, my immune system cannot figure out what to do about these bug bites! It's learning though :D

Gonna have an exciting p-day at Lake Wisconsin today. Hoping to meet a million people :)

We're teaching our awesome neighbors. They are so prepared! They keep crazy hours though, so we'll only be able to teach them like once a week. But they are so cool!

I'm so glad I have this opportunity to be a missionary. I can feel how this calling gives me power I will never have again! Driving me to act. To testify. Let's all just serve missions forever, alright?

Love you all!
