So i dont know what changed but this week was different. I spoke a lot more, laughed a lot more, didnt feel like running to Switzerland (maybe once), and felt so much love and encouragement. I read this quote the other day about how life becomes the toughest just before you reach your goal. Im hoping this means im getting closer to being where i want to be with my language and my work. Also i think we've been doing a lot of things right because the adversary is going to work on our investigators and us. We had five baptismal dates at the beginning of the week and it feels like all of our investigators are going through the same thing- questioning, doubting, or just wanting to ignore answers they have received. I know its just a phase though. They all promised to keep trying. I know they will pull through!!
My halloween was pretty cool. I found this great place called coffee and cat where you can buy some juice and drink it in the midst of like 50 cats! hahaha. Yes. It was the coolest weirdest thing ever. My favorite part was the super creepy owner cat lady man. He LOVES his cats. I saw him kiss their lips a couple times. Turns out i really love cats. I was in heaven a little bit. It was the best medicine in the world to hold something that loves you back. I realized how love deprived missionaries are that holding a cat meant something to me. so so sad and pathetic. After we went to the yound single adult activity. I was a ballerina. Tutu, ballet shoes, bun and all. My companion was a ghost. Just a bed sheet. She mostly looked like a terrorist/maybe a leper or maybe Mary. Anyways we had a lot of fun. The had a unicorn pinata. nuff said.
Oh something COOL happened! A couple weeks ago we picked up an investigator who i was 100% sure was an english interest only. Guess what? I dont know anything about anything. She walked into our lesson on wedesday and says guys... i was thinking about what we talked about last week, about finding an answer and i was praying while walking down the street and it was cloudy and all of a sudden i saw and felt all this light. I think it was my answer! We told her it most definetly her answer and that she should get baptised and she said yes, of course! HUZZAH!
Oh guess what else is cool. We were having companionship study the other day when i hear these crazy howler monkey noises from outside. I looked out the window and what did i see?! People dressed up as dementors fighting with light saber/ jousting sticks howling like screeching eels. It was so much cooler than you could possibly imagine. Probably the best experience of my mission so far.
OH ALSO. The other day we were heading home on the bus and i was carrying a thousand heavy things plus i was so tired and the only seat open what a seat next to this kid in his 20's. I usually dont sit next to those types of people because they do weird things like touch my hair and tell me my face is the size of a thumb (thats a compliment here fyi). But i was so tired so i just stepped over him and dont worry! my foot slipped and i promptly sat on his lap, spilling my oranges everywhere and i about died a thousand deaths trying to get off of him and not let anyone see my nametag.
Good things are happing. I love love love being a missionary. I love you. The church is truer than ever.
