Sister Harris with Sister Jensen and Hermana Cline we got to do some training, and it was great! |
Hope everyone is doing well and staying warm!
Some things about our week:
-On Monday night for our FHE we learned self defense! It was super funny....and I was really really bad at it! But it was still good.

-On Tuesday
we were at the TC all day. We were on chat in the morning. It was ok.
We had a TON of trollers from Romania, of all places. And we talked to a
guy from India, and another one from England. Most of our chats weren't
so great, and we were almost ready to get off, but then we got a person
who was really sincere! He started off kind of rude, but as the
conversation progressed and especially as we bore testimony to him he
got more and more kind and sincere. Our testimonies are the coolest
things ever!!

-Thursday
was the CRAZIEST day ever! We somehow overbooked ourselves on
appointments, so we went on splits. Sister Jensen went with Ashley, and I
went with a cute girl that goes to Iowa Western named Nicole. It was
way fun and we got a lot done! Ashley and Sister Jensen saw Aaron and
taught him, and Nicole and I taught a new investigator, who also goes to
Iowa Western. Then we met up at the end and had another lesson with
another investigator. It was AWESOME!! haha

-I can't remember if I wrote about her before, but we met this
woman that had just lost her husband to a long battle with cancer. The
first time we met her was on the street and we just started talking to
her. We gave her a Plan of Salvation pamphlet and she said that we could
stop by again sometime, so we stopped by this week. It was really cool
to watch her open up to us again. She was super hesitant when we first
saw her, and slowly got more and more open the longer we talked with
her. Our lesson ended with her telling us that she really liked talking
to us and that she wanted us to come back again soon. We also gave her a
Book of Mormon and she said that she would read it. I love watching the
Spirit work on people and soften their hearts!

-Aaron got baptized on Saturday!!
It was so fun! S. Jensen and I gave a talk on the Holy Ghost. While we
were talking he kept saying, "Cross my heart yes!" every time we said
something that he was excited about. Cute kid! It took him forever to
get in the water because he kept talking to Chris (the guy that was
baptizing him). The whole room could hear everything that he was saying.
It was hilarious! Something like, "And then I'm going to my mom's house
tonight and I'm going to church tomorrow,
where I'll get the Holy Ghost! I have to put my earplugs in before I
get baptized, or else I won't be able to hear!" But it went on forever.
It was SO funny!
-Just FYI during the Superbowl isn't the greatest to be knocking on
doors...We had a few spare minutes, so we knocked on a potential's door
and he answered and said, "Uhhh, you guys know it's the
Superbowl...right?" It was actually pretty funny, so that's good.

-The lights in the gallery of the Trail Center stopped working for
like two days, and I ended up giving some tours in the dark. This week
will forever be known as the darkest of my mission. haha!
