BATTLE OF THE SALESMEN
We went store contacting at bass pro shop & were approached by KAREEM.
He was REALLY trying to get us to enter a free raffle so we said we'd enter the raffle if he'd take one of our books.
He ACCEPTED so while Sister Ervin furiously typed away, entering the raffle, I started talking to him.
He said he was NOT religious & his dad was a preacher so he already knew whatever I was gonna tell him.
I WHIPPED out the Book of Mormon & we read 2 Nephi 2:25 together.
me: "Kareem when's the last time you felt joy? TRUE & LASTING joy??"
k: "uhhhh when I was like 8 probably.."
me: "8?! do you want that joy back?"
k: *shrugs* & looks down
me: "Kareem I KNOW you want that joy back. You NEED it back"
k: "yeah....I want it"
UHHHHH YEAH YOU DO?!?!?
Sister Ervin joined me & we BORE our heart & souls out about the joy the Book of Mormon brings.
Missionary work is so fun oh my goodness.
Everyone pray that Kareem finds the courage to open it and see for himself.
Brother Blanchard calls me "dimples" & is my best friend. He's 77.
Ate my first nik n' nip.
Juice filled wax that you chew & don't swallow????
I'm now a big fan.
ALSO I'M A BIG FAN OF ELDER AIDUKAITUS!
He came on a mission tour here & roasted the whole mission while simultaneously being the kindest & funniest man ever.
New goals: never ever have an unkind thought about ANY member or unit leader & bring a new friend to church EVERY single Sunday.
MLC & Zone Conference were on the SAME day & it was a blast. 10 hours straight with Elder Aidukaitus??? Not enough.
Went on exchanges with Sister Nwobi!!!! Her & her comp, Sister Garcia, KILL me.
"If I were a mythical creature, what creature would I be???"
"A serial killer."
Serial killers are my FAVORITE mythical creatures.
Also went on exchanges with Sister Stokes and I'M OBSESSED WITH HER.
We biked.
I have MISSED biking more than I thought possible.
Adam Sandler tried to force us to take a free puppy!
My reputation has begun to PRECEDE me & another sister reached out to me and asked me to cut her hair?!?!?!?
I told her YES as long as she is okay that the only scissors I own are the ones you find in a kindergarten classroom. Shockingly.... she agreed.
DON'T WORRY GUYS we have found some SOLID NEW PEOPLE TO TEACH!!!!!!!
Hallelujah! I was dying there for a little bit.
Street contacting in Louisiana is a lil bit toasty, but also way too much fun. Way too much.
Oh such a happy time.
I love my Savior and I miss all of you!
SISTER SPANGLER
