Seriously. Everyone's doing it. Just because Door County is the alcohol capital of America does not mean y'all should be drunk when we're trying to share the gospel with you.
Last week we were driving without a left blinker in front and I became acutely aware of how not-safe that is. You really don't think about it until you don't have it. Well, we assigned our district leader to replace the lightbulb, because you'd think that's an easy assignment, right?
WRONG. Not when you drive a certain Malibu. We took it to an auto center who told us to take it to the dealership. We took it to the dealership who had to remove the whole bumper just to change a lightbulb. That fun goose chase took up like two whole days of our week. Yay for problems that make carless missions seem like a good idea.
Then we helped a new family move into the branch! This branch could always use added strength. So this should be really great :)
Then we tried to visit a potential investigator and our relief society president answered the door. Little miracles.
We decided we really need new investigators so we went tracting for several hours this week, which was pretty fun. We met some really cool people including Tessa, who is a former JW. I so totally LOVE former JWs. Jaime, Quentin, and Sam were all former JWs. She's definitely getting baptized...except that she's moving to Colorado. Whatever. She'll get baptized in Colorado.
The miracles this week came in the form of sunny days. It was pretty much always raining everyday except when the elders were out working on our car, and when we were helping the new family with their moving van, and when we were tracting. Which were the exact times that it needed to not be raining :) You've just gotta be observant to see tender mercies sometimes!
Did all y'all catch the CES fireside last night? It was SO GOOD. Man, I love apostles. We NEED modern day prophets. I don't know how some people just can't see that. They're so fantastic!!!
In other news, I turn 22 in like a few days and I officially have absolutely no excuses whatsoever to consider myself a kid still. Darn it. I'll probably keep acting like one anyway :)
Sister Karlsson and I decided that someone needs to make a movie of the Book of Mormon. The war stories alone have way too many parallels with Lord of the Rings to not be a total success. Preferably not a Hollywood production, obviously, but also more legit that a Church production. "Seen the play, read the book, now watch the movie!" Bam.
All work and a little play :)
