Love You

THIS WEEK WAS COOL. okay so how did you hear about the whole - sprinkler prayer thing. that was hilarious. and crazy. (for those that dont know our first week together we went tracting and said a prayer with this man fixing his sprinklers...i offered the prayer and sure enough 1/2 way through the sprinklers nailed us. i didnt stop praying. sis wills was laughing so bad though. i pulled through. then as i was about to close it HIT US AGAIN! we were soaked. and we all laughed. the guy just walked away laughing saying thanks and we are the best...it was so funny. i shouldve stopped. it was hilarious.) okay but here is the stitch for reals. we met with charles.. our black "paul" obsessed gator. and he just told us how he doesnt feel there is a need for one true church and that he doesnt need to be baptized again. he jsut wants the priesthood so he can have his own congregation and begin to be a foot soldier and preach to people about the bible and the bom like paul did minus the bom. so we dropped him. really it was a mutual dropping. sad for sis wills cause she has worked really hard with him. but we had the faith to move forward so we are moving forward. we are already seeing murrrricles. OH at the beginning of the lesson with Charles apparently he has a routine that he plays a gospel song before the lesson. usually they are mild and quite delightful says sis wills. BUT THIS TIME> OHMYEYE GOOOOSHHHHE I WAS DYING. literally. it was this baptist-y yelling and shouting to organ chords in the back. OH MY it was so funny. i was trying to hold in my laughter but had to literally hold my mouth close and just started shaking and bawling from how hard i was laughing. then later talking to our WML about it - he and his wife were there. LOVE THEM - he said that he couldnt even look at me vbecause it made him laugh just seeing me. goodtimes. haha. then this week we went to town just meeting all of our members. well trying to. we had a day full of just back to back appts. it was crazy. we didnt even get to eat lunch....not a good call on our part. we both get headaches and migraines. sis wills gets them waaaaay more than i have on the mission and so that was poor planning on our part. BUT none the less it was miracles that we saw because of our diligence. wow it was cool to be that busy. i would love to have that many appointments in a day to non members. but by the rate we are going at we will definitely see that happen. okay also the cocoa stake just got a new stake presidency and elder Teh came. so saturday night at the first of 2 sessions of stake conf(no longer adult sesh.) we sat front row with our AWESOME members Lauralyn and Pascal Budge(they served and met on their missions in france....sounds familiar...) so we sat by them and our bishop had to do this training thing and our WML told us he may call us up. cool. well he didnt. THEN elder teh got up. he told all 32 missionaries in the stake to stand. we did and he thanked us. then he said he would call a companionship up....yep he called sister wills and i up. AH. so fun. sis wills was dying but we did fine. he just asked us some random Qs and then finished by asking us what we would do for the members to get a referral...we replied in unison. ANYTHING! that whole evening and then on sunday our members kept telling our president how they loved us and want us to stay here and all this. Then he came up to us at the end of the sunday sesh and asked me what we were doing to the ward. THEY LOVE YOU. i just shrugged. not really sure. we are doing what you told us president. so thats cool. Oh also. we went to a fest in Cape Canaveral and got to talk to loads of people. we also got stopped by these two sisters who started a company called two mermaids and they grew up mormon but have since fell away and werent interested. but they had these awesome leggings. and sis wills and i may or may not have had to buy a matching pair. ah. $15.... it was worth it. maybe not but #noregrets sis wills and i have so much fun. i feel so bad when she gets headaches but now i know what everyone that ever has had to deal with me feels like. not fun. sorry. she is a champ though. it gives me a lot of ponder and study time. so i have really thought about things. mostly the Savior. This week I read a great talk called "Believing Christ." dad i put the reference in our notebook. I know that it is because of Christ THAT not only can i be better but despite my shortcomings and weaknesses i can return to live with my father in heaven. read it the talk. it puts everything into perspective. and it really helps mormons understand the fact that you dont just work your way to heaven. "believing christ" and "his grace is sufficient" READ THEM AND WEEP. literally. i know that my redeemer lives. he is here beside me every step of the way. i know the song "if the savior stood beside me" now. it has real meaning. He truly is always near me. i know it. i love you all. i love this work. i know i say that all the time but i truly do. thanks for everything that you do. stay classy san diego. xoxo your sister zoë
