On Tuesday we went bowling and I totally creamed our district which is hilarious because I have proven myself an awful bowler in times past. Not complaining. It was fun.
This week we met a lady who was baptized in July and the Elders have been working with her but now we are because the ward felt that that would just be better. She has a teenage daughter and a husband who are not members of the church.
A is still out of town on business but he has been reading the Book of Mormon!! Which is awesome. I love that book.
We met a lady named Sister C this week. She was baptized in Spain when she was 8 but her family was totally inactive. So she now has a daughter who is 24 or so who has also been baptized but neither of them know anything about the gospel. So.. we went over and were trying to understand why they don't come to church and whatnot. And she was saying that all the missionaries in the ward have come over and asked the same questions. And she seemed a little perplexed that this was being repeated. So we slowed down and asked some questions and learned that neither of them know anything about the church or the gospel but want desperately to understand. So that's exciting. We're gonna see them once a week. :)
On Sunday we went to church!! Sister S and I were sitting in the front row of the overflow. Sacrament meeting had just barely started and a little girl, probably 4 or 5, came running into the chapel to where her family was sitting. "Did I miss the sacrament???", she asked. It totally made my Sunday. She understands the why! Young as she is she understands that we come to Church to partake of the sacrament and make promises with Heavenly Father and to remember Jesus Christ.
On Monday I was on exchanges with Sister P. We are very similar and have the same work ethic so it was way awesome and we saw so many miracles!! We got 2 return appointments with people we met and got a referral from mormon.org (those are incredibly rare in Grovetown) for a lady who was meeting with missionaries in Omaha and just moved here and wants to keep learning! Amazing. Also on exchanges we met a gecko. And named him Colgate. Col for short. Also I had to buy new toothpaste today. Yes, the wonder of missionary work.
ALSO BACK IN PERRY :C,A's mother, was baptized on Saturday!!! Which makes my heart so full. I love those two.
