What's up everybody!
I hope you are all doing great! It
was a great week this week. On Tuesday we had about an hour that we had
no idea what we could do. We decided to start walking to a ladys house
who said we 'might' be able to come by and do some service. (it's so
hard around here to get people to let us serve them!) But anyways on our
way to her house this guy walked out of his apartment to talk to us.
(That rarely happens so I was pumped) He thanked us for the work we
were doing, told us it was his birthday, and invited us inside to have
some of his birthday cake. You could call that kind of sketchy...I call
it free cake haha. We had a good conversation with him and set an
appointment to teach him on Thursday. It was awesome! Even if he was a
little drunk....
I wasn't able to come back to teach him on Thursday but I hear it went great!
Thursday I
was on an exchange in Guntersville with our district leader Elder
Hunt. It's cool because He was my Zone Leader when I first got to
Alabama and was one of the first missionaries I met. Glad I get to
serve with him again. Even though he is really good at reminding me how
fast the time is going by. Seriously he was like, "This transfers
about over, so you have pretty much been out 7 and a half months. Plus
your time in the MTC makes it 8 months...You have been out so long!" I
was just like, "What the crap?! Where is the time going?" So it was a
fun exchange! I really like Guntersville it is so pretty because all
of it is just surrounded by a lake.
On Friday we went to the temple. Probably my favorite part of the
week! I felt the spirit super strong this time and just felt really
happy afterwards. Best feeling ever. I love the temple.
On Saturday
we got a few new investigators who I'm really excited about. We met
this lady Juanita and had a cool experience with her. To make a long
story short she was telling us that she was part Cherokee indian. Some
of her friends told her she should get a DNA test or something because
she had heard some things about some Indians being traced all the way
back to a Jewish bloodline. She was wondering how that could be and we
were just like, "Whaaattt!? The Book of Mormon has the answer to that!"
She told us that sparked her interest and she really wanted to read
it. I'm excited to see her again.
Anyways I sort of threw a lot of random things in this email but it
was a really good week! I hope that yall have an awesome week this
week Love ya!
Elder Whetten
