Tuesday we stayed inside because Sister Loeak was sick.
On Wednesday, we got up early and went to Peoria for exchanges with the Sisters there! I was with Sister Walker, and she is just the sweetest! We went finding, and had a party! We talked to one guy who was taking a walk through the trailer park, and it wasn't long before we realized that he was not all the way there! But, the Gospel is for everyone, so we continued talking to him! And then, we set up a return appointment for next Tuesday. So, this guy is like 60ish years old, and he started hardcore flirting! All like, I like your dress, I wish I had one like that! And doing a dance, and then complimenting my hair and such. Then, I handed him the sticky note with the return appointment day on it, and he was like, 'Thanks babe' and I was uber creeped out! So we started walking away, and he started following us. So we walked faster, and he continued following us. As soon as we rounded the corner, we sprinted to our car! Thinking we were safe, we sat there and talked for a bit about crazy mission stories like this one... And then Sister Walker yelled, GOGOGOGOGOGOOOO!! I look up, and THE CREEPY DUDE IS APPROACHING OUR CAR!!! So I zoomed away and now we have a funny story!
We stayed in Peoria until early Thursday morning, and then we went back to Morton to go finding there. We met a guy named Ken, who was obviously all about the bash life! But, we weren't about to have that! So, before turning to leave, I testified hardcore about the Book of Mormon! And then, Sister Loeak added her testimony about how the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is true! We went to walk away, and Ken said, can I have a Book? So, that was lit. Then, we went to go to our appointment with Ruth, and she was not yet home. So, we talked to her daughter for a bit, and now we are teaching Haley! She is so cute.
On Friday, we had interviews with President and Sister badger!! Love getting to see them. We had ours at 8 in the morning, and we ended up getting home at about 2. Then, we started weekly planning. But, we were messaging someone we are teaching, Paul, and he said we could come to his cross country meet and see him there! So we went. And IT STARTED SNOWING!! It was hot last week, and here we are now. Snow. So, we had on our big jackets and hoodies and leggings and watching these high schoolers run in short shorts. LOL.
On Saturday, we got a referral for a lady named Mary! Go to the address... and it's a huge apartment building! So we knocked that and met some... interesting people! We weren't hit on or proposed to, but we now know a thing or two about some interesting disorders! Also on Saturday, we started preparing Barb for her baptismal interview! She was nervous, even though we told her not to be. We got to the topic of tithing... and that brought up some questions. So, long story short, Barb won't be baptized quite yet! We are working with her to resolve the conflicts!
So all in all, a pretty good week! Love y'all!
