A Golden Street

This week was awesome! And it went by so fast!

Last Monday, we went to Rocket Fizz with Sister Hosea and Sister Unga.

It was so fun! I got more Pez candy, jelly beans, and root beer. We decided to relax for the rest of that day until it was time to go on exchanges. I went with Sister Hosea to John Tanner's baptism! It was amazing! I was so happy for him. And he and Sabrina seem happy too!

This week was the usual missionary stuff. We've been contacting on a street that is golden! On this street, we walk and meet someone to talk to, and then we turn and there's another person to talk to! And the best part: they have actually been interested in our message!

We have also been doing a lot with the members. On Tuesday, we made cookies with Bryant and he had someone in mind he could give them to.  On Wednesday, we went to another member's house and she gave us a referral! She's working with her and basically invited her friend to take the lessons. Amanda's friend is interested in the church and believes in the Priesthood Authority. She had been asking Amanda questions just out of curiosity. Amanda basically told her that she invited us missionaries over for dinner and having us teach her. She told her friend the missionaries can teach her. It was awesome!

We have another investigator named Cecilia, who is 91 years old - but doesn't act like it! She is interested in our church, and has no objections, and asked questions because she's genuinely curious! She is awesome! She's still a little set in her ways and isn't sure she wants to get baptized. She says she's stubborn, and yet she doesn't object to Joseph Smith or the church. She's definitely not as stubborn as she thinks she is.

Sister Hughes had a birthday this week! She is now 20! She kept saying: "I'm 20 now... That's so weird..."  We went to Greenfinger and sang happy birthday. We had lunch with the Tongan Sisters. They made her a cake. Then they came over later that night and brought her cupcakes. At our dinner appointment, they gave us gluten free cake... So much cake was eaten that day.

We had a great week! It was awesome! And I love Sister Hughes! She's the best!

- Always, Sister Brown
