First off!! We met our goal of 10 lessons this week!!! WOOT!! We worked so hard for those, ridiculously hard, and we saw success.
My personal favorite weird event of the week happened during inspired contacting. Inspired contacting is when you pray for where to go then you go where ever you feel and knock where ever you feel and then find people. Sora Ralls and I stood on the corner and said a prayer. The Sora Ralls asked me where we should go. I closed my eyes and saw a red house with a black fence. So I told her, "Red House black fence."
"What direction?" I closed my eyes again.
"Left."
So we went left and made it down a street and Sora Ralls pointed to a red house with a black fence. We knocked on it, the woman answered. I spilled out in my best Romanian what the Book of Mormon was and asked if we could share more with her and she said yes. YESSS!!! She was busy then but she asked us to come by this week sometime and tell her the message! Kinda cool right! Earlier that day we were inspired contacting with the Elders and as we were knocking on some apartments the second to last door in the building opened and Sora Ralls gave an awesome summary of the plan of salvation and how it blesses families. He said he wanted to hear more but was leaving now, but we could come back the next day. There was the cutest little boy about 3 years old on a bicycle behind him who was peeking at us shyly. We went to the next door (Which was the last in the apartment complex) but we wanted to wait until the man closed his door or left before knocking, so we both waved to this cute little kid. As we were making faces and saying "Pa!" or "Bye!" He burst into the cutest fit of giggles and thrust his head backwards really hard making his bike flip over, on top of him and he landed on the back of his head on tile. IT WAS HORRIBLE!!! The dad didn't notice that we were the ones that made his kid fall over but he ran over and picked up his screaming child and we left as fast as we could. I was laughing of course because I am a terrible person.
The next day we head over to the apartment and in front of the buildng we get stopped by a woman standing outside,"Who are you, what are you doing, what are you soliciting?" She said it so fast not even Sora Ralls understood her completely.
"We are missionaries. Have a good day!" We responded politely with huge smiles and continued to walk up the stairs. We got to the apartment and knocked and from two floors down that lady started yelling at us.
"What do you want, what are you doing, who are you... etc"
And she came up to the door we were knocking at and pulled out her keys!!! IT WAS HER APARTMENT!! She was the wife. We told her that her husband said we could come give a lesson to their family. She said it was not beautiful for us to come give him a lesson when she wasn't home. Awkward. We are motioned inside and find out that the husband was planning not to open the door to us, that since we came 30 minutes earlier than he thought we were coming he hadn't left the house yet. and since we were there standing in the kitchen the wife let us give her the lesson we talked a little bit about the restoration and she said that we were welcome to come back and teach more. Kinda crazy!! Because if everything didn't happen in the way it did we would not have taught that family.
Anyways, that is about all this week!!
I love you all so much!! Happy Birthdays this week to my two very cute siblings Alden and Kenzie who are now old enough to do crazy things like go on dates and stuff. I miss you all very much and I think about you a lot but know we are all working hard out here to spread the news.
Pa pa for now!
