God Is So Good

 Monday was down to a tea. I was calling someone throughout the whole preparation day. It definitely gets me through the day and most especially through the week. I love you all. Next week will be district p-day so I won't talk to any of you as much. I am excited to get out of the house besides just leaving for groceries. 

Tuesday flew by! Nothing crazy happened. We were teaching and knocking doors all day long. It was just so much fun. The longer I have been on my mission, the more I just desire to do missionary work. Like I used to love going on long drives to get to a place since it's like just a chill period. I hate it now, I want to be knocking! I want to be preaching and testifying! What has changed this transfer for me is door knocking. I talk to everyone, it makes me so happy. I don't care if they are 100 yards away, I always get them with,"AYE CAN I ASK YOU A QUICK QUESTION?" I then do my Patrick Mahomes little jog over to them. Most of them are never interested, but I'm just planting the fatest mustard seed. As much as I love success, getting rejected doesn't bother me. It just makes me happier when I find someone interested.  I am just so much more bold as a missionary. I'm finally starting to know how important this message is. I am beginning to match the message as I represent Jesus Christ. 

Wednesday was nuts. It started off with me finding out that my sink flooded the bathroom. The pipes underneath were leaking when I used the sink so anything I had under was toast lol. We then departed to the district council in Holt. It was the best district council I led on my mission thus far. I hosted a jeopardy and everyone was so involved. We learned, laughed, and felt the spirit together. Inside joke from this district council that no one will understand is that I proposed to a girl named "Sandy," hahaha. After that, the whole day we were knocking on doors. It was so exhausting, but it felt so good! We were doing The Lord's work. As you all know, The Lord consecrated our efforts and we found new people to teach. As He should! 

Nothing crazy went down on Thursday. I am starting to taste what it is like to be a missionary in the old days going door to door. We knocked on doors ALL day! It was so rewarding. There was only not one soul interested that day, but I felt the spirit literally pulsating through me as I was going door to door. I try all I can to have the biggest smile on my face when I knock on every door. When I came home that day, my face literally cramped up due to smiling so much that day! There could've been so many things I could've complained about, but no. God is so good! 

I have to write about some stories from door knocking this week. It was the very first door that answered on Friday. It was this Jamaican lady with a dog. She let's the dog out and it begins jumping on us. As we continued talking to her, the dog just started taking a leak on Elder Millwards legs. We didn't notice until the dog was done peeing. It was all over his legs HAHA and we just started door knocking for the day. Ain't no way we are driving all the way back home. All you hear from Elder Millward is," STUPID dog." 

The next story is pretty crazy. Backstory, so every Tuesday and Thursday we do service at a place called Helping Hands. People from all over the community help out at this food pantry. This includes Ron and his wife Nancy, these of two of my favorite people we serve with. They are amazing. So it begins with us driving out 35 minutes to an appointment in Vermontville. This is one of the biggest cities of Amish people in Michigan. The appointment cancels so we start knocking on doors. We randomly knock into RON AND NANCY! They let us in and chatted for a little. It just made my day better, the odds that we knocked on their door were close to none. God works in crazy ways. 

We found 6 new friends to teach this week, mainly door knocking. God is so good! I am excited for today, it is our district pday! Yeah I know. We are going to leave the apartment today. We are driving down to Jackson which is where the ZLs are and we are chilling with our district there. Let's go! I love you all so so much. Please reach out to me. I love you! #FindTime4Me
