Wednesday I stayed on campus for exchanges with Sister Christensen! We had a lot of fun. So I'm still super terrified to contact guys, but I got up enough courage to do it with Sister Christensen. Turns out the guy's mom was raised Mormon but has since fallen away. Then on Thursday almost all of our lessons fell through so we spent a ton of time pcing. I contacted a guy by myself! He's a non-practiciting Muslim. I mentioned prophets and he got really interested! I probably talked to him for about 20 minutes, all by myself :) Sister Gil was close by talking to other people. Anyways, fingers crossed he keeps our appointment for tomorrow. With three sets of missionaries on campus we are beginning to talk to the same people; it stinks. Later on Thursday I met a girl who the elders had already talked to, but I taught her anyways. She's totally all about playing a prank on them when she meets with them this week.
Church yesterday was incredible. After this week, I needed to be able to fast. Sister Gil and I have no progressing investigators and nobody with a date. It stinks. Luckily this week we were able to teach a lot of finding lessons and found new investigators. Also, I miss family wards. I've been struggling with being in this area because I feel very out of place. Anyways, I needed a spiritual experience to happen yesterday during church and it did. Fast and testimony meeting went 20 minutes over because so many people wanted to talk. Right now about half our branch is summer boys, basically guys from Utah who are selling this summer. One got up and spoke about how we aren't going to be in this branch for forever so we have to take advantage of the opportunity that we have to be here. Another talked about how we have to choose to be happy now. Heavenly Father doesn't expect us to be perfect tomorrow, only a little bit better than we were the previous day. Oh! Saturday we were doing some service for Sister Leonard (the member we live with). Sister Gil was expressing some of her frustrations with the area and Sister Leonard said "it sounds like something you are going to have to talk to Father about". The way she said it just touched me. Our Heavenly Father wants us to be happy because He loves us so much.
Exchanges and a YSA activity down in Bloomington. It was so pretty!!!!
