We kind of egg each other on. (Well, it's mostly me that does it...) Last night she threw a lemon at me (twice). I told her to do it because she told me that she heard that if you get hit with a orange or a lemon then you won't bruise. Of course we had to test it out for ourselves.
Result: Don't know yet. On the point of initial impact it hurt (REALLY BAD) but after few minutes it was okay. Still no sign of a bruise yet either. We shall see in the coming days...
Because we do something every single hour of the day it's hard to write down, let alone remember, all that has happened. But the most of amazing things that have been going on have to do with our investigators. All of them are so incredibly diligent and committed. I've never seen anything like it. Sis. Fleming and I are just dumbfounded some days because of the some of the things they tell us and how excited/anxious they are to be baptized.
Mary and her 4 sons are going to be baptized on May 2nd and she's announcing it to everyone she talks to; it's so funny. Sometimes she'll run up to us to ask about particular details about what's going to happen, when it's going to happen and things like that. Last week we taught her the word of wisdom. When the lesson was finished she, with a sad but determined face, says whispers something to her son, Stephan.
He comes back a few minutes later with this newly bought jar and she says, "Here. [she gives it to us to take it with us] I only drink it once in the morning before work...not even on the weekends." Yesterday when she saw us she said, "You know, it's really really hard but I'm going to do it. Now, in the mornings I only drink choco-melk." (chocolate milk)
It's really cool to see the determination in people when they want to change because they believe something is right. One of my favorite things about missionary work is that you just get to see God's hand work in other people's lives. I'm pretty convinced we don't really do much but teach them some things. The change and the willingness to become better comes through their own personal relationship with Heavenly Father.
That's all I really have time for. I can go more in-depth with my stories when I get back a year from next week lol. I love you and I hope you have a great week.
Just a little something that's funny, that I've been thinking about the last few days - I don't know which one will be worse - a missionary tan line or the terrible tan lines I got from India. (just something to make you smile...hopefully)
Salutjes!
