well
the longest week of my life has finally come to an end. ha it was so
dang long i nearly died, i made it though just so i could write my
faithful readers. i understand that people are actually reading my blog.
this surprise is pleasent as well as, surprising for lack of better
words. i also have come to the knowledge that oodles of people are
putting their mission papers in. hooray!!! prepare yourselves and get
ready to be rocked because it is surely a rude awakening. ha but i love
it.
this week i had a run in with someone i now hold very
dear to my heart. i dont know the least bit about her and i dont know
her name, but she will always be with me. you may think im talking about
a long lost love or someone i fell in love with, but that is quite the
contrary. i will now tell the story of this person. porting is an act
that can be compared to taking the act, or going to get your driver's
license renewed. porting, or tracting as the non frenchies would call
it, is going door to door and just trying to present the message of
jesus christ. you see, and smell, all different types of things during
this act. you get the door slams, you get the people holding off their
dogs, and more often then not you get the lazy europeans speaking to you
through their stupid little speaker. i am proud to say that this story
involves porting and none of that stuff. we knocked on this door, and
nobody answered, typical right? we began to walk away when we hear the
door open and out steps a lady. the thing that was different about this
lady was that she was in a bath robe, sopping wet. i honestly had no
idea what to do. i just sat there and looked. she said
sorry i was having my bath what did you need.
my companion replied with typical missionary lingo
she replied. no i was having my bath and i cant see you now. but you can come back another time
this was a mixture of awesomness. yes a woman had
answered the door in a bath robe and she was wet and it was weird, but
she said we could come back. thats the first person who ever said they
could come back. obvoiusly im more jovial than my companion about this.
well i got on the computer late so thats all i can even write, i will
write more next week. love you all be safe
