Hi everyone!
This week was good but just one of those really slow weeks. It started out really well though. First we met with this girl named Anna. She has met with missionaries for over a year and is still trying to figure out if the church is true. We put her on a baptismal date of October 29th and she accepted! We are now just trying to build her faith and help her gain a testimony of the Book of Mormon and the prophet Joseph Smith. So that was a highlight in my week!
We also got a call from the Mesa, Arizona Elders that gave us a referral of their friend Zev who goes to USU. The thing is, is that, that night we ran into a guy named Zev on campus and taught him the restoration and it turns out that he was the guy the Mesa Arizona
elders were talking about! Small world right! We will be meeting with him again this coming week!! Yay!
Oh yeah and one day in our apartment during lunch time, Sister Schultz and I were in our room and then we just heard the fire alarm go off and it said "FIRE...Please leave the premises," we both looked at each other and ran for the door and then we just saw Sister Zheng just cooking her pot-stickers on the stove. We literally thought there was a fire and it turns out it was just Sister Zheng who seemed to not be alarmed at all at the beeping sound. Now every time we cook the fire alarm goes off and it is super annoying haha.
Also, apparently their are clowns going around here on campus where they scare people. So one day we knocked on a door and this girl barley cracked the door open and she said, "oh, you're not a clown... Hi sisters!" Yeah... So now I'm hoping we don't get attacked by a clown here haha!
This week we've contacted a lot of people but not many people are interested. Sometimes I think Utah missions are great because everyone already knows what Mormons are and have gone to the LDS church at some point in their life time with someone. But then there a lot of people with anti-Mormon feelings which is so sad that they won't even give the Book of Mormon a chance to see if it's the word of God. It truly makes me sad when people already reject something when they haven't even tried it out. I love this mission but it can definitely be hard at points even being surrounded by members of the church.
So that was my week sorry it wasn't as exciting as my other weeks. It's getting colder and colder here and people say that we might get snow in October which is crazy, but that's Logan for ya. I love you all and hope you all are doing well! I love being a missionary and I love this gospel with all my heart. It truly brings so much joy into my life that I would have never had without it.
