A basher & a jew walk into a bar
Kidding, they walk into a Panera where they proceed to have a FIRE lesson about the restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Both minds were blown.
This week was our mission wide baptismal invite week!!!! MINDS WERE BLOWN AGAIN.
Dianne calls us up and says she is NOT interested in talking to us EVER again, because she does NOT need what we have to share.
RIGHT before she hangs up, we hit her with a LITERAL INVITATION TO BE BAPTIZED by someone with the power & authority from God.
& of course..... SHE ACCEPTS & SAYS SHE ABSOLUTELY NEEDS TO KNOW MORE.
hallelujah, amen, pass the plate around again.
Run into Justin at the mall! He's living on a reservation just outside of our area :(((
What do we do? Put him on date for baptism first contact & send him to the Clinton elders.
He's so excited to be baptized by someone with the priesthood power.
Also his son's names are WOLF & SKUNK.
That's the DOPEST thing I've ever heard.
We set up a zoom lesson with Lakeishia & as we were chatting with her before we started the lesson....SHE SET THE PHONE DOWN, GRABBED THE TOILET PAPER, WIPED HERSELF, THEN FLUSHED THE TOILET??????????????
Front row seats to a show I did NOT want to see.
If you saw two little BEAMING 20 year olds just walking down the street, what would be your first instinct??
For the people in Madison..... there are 2 initial responses.
Option 1: call the cops
Option 2: lean over to your SEVEN year old and loudly say, "Don't talk to them! Don't even look at them!"
Or!!! 2 for 1 combo & you can do BOTH!!!!
Madison, Mississippi is straight boujie town.
Our CVS looks like a cathedral.
I've been kicked out of more places in the past 2 weeks than I have my whole life.
Clearly you need THREE security guards to SURROUND 2 little missionaries..... teaching an 80 year old about the Book of Mormon.....??????
& then escort them out of the public mall....
Hard hearts & stiff necks are a REAL thing & it hurts my heart.
Our new motto: Moroni 9:6 "notwithstanding their hardness, let us labor diligently."
Been feeling like the Jaredites in Ether 6:7 lately, sinking DEEP down into cold dark water when rejection comes again and again and again, but WHOLLY trusting that God will lift me up & out of it EVERYDAY as he provides us with people to serve and teach.
God is the SAME yesterday, today, tomorrow, in Mississippi, in Madison!!! He truly is a God of miracles and HE WORKS ACCORDING TO OUR FAITH! Doesn't matter the area, the people, or anything. He knows my prayers & He knows my faith. THANK GOODNESS I have Him on my side.
Every single day I am reminded of how much God PERFECTLY knows and loves His children.
He knows what we need.
WHEE DOGGIES MADISON 2 IS BOUTA EXPLODE
