Covenants Bring Salvation + Remmy

Covenants Bring Salvation  + Remmy 

Monday: Shopping Addict and A Lil Power

Today was too fun. We went thrifting and walked away with too many good deals. I am voguing to never go again.

I got sister Jacobson’s  closet cracked out now. Our proselyting went by sooo fast.

We taught an amazing lesson with Tiana and she is an absolute gem.

Me and Sister Jacobson  teach so well together. Heaven sent. We did some fun oym and went ham knocking some apartments.

I am a crazy knocker Ill be knocking two doors at once alternating each knock.

So 1, 1 then 2,2 then 3,3 never leave without 3 knocks. 

Tuesday: Spirit from my head to toe

Drinky drink needed 

Shower coming from the walls 

Okay buckle in. So we woke up absolutely wrecked ya know the usual. Hit the gym and absolutely went ham ya know the vibe.

Then we ate a whole course meal of eggs, toast and a smoothie. Of course a rice cake with Peter pan peanut butter as a snack.

Fought for my life to stay awake during personal study.

For once in my life I am not having profound ideas for my training I have to give.

I don't feel connected to the topic which is a first.

We then zoomed to Brittney’s and she didn't answer, even though she was home, so we dropped her.

Another lady did the same thing so we dropped her.

We knocked an entire apartment complex and only found nepali. Messed.

Did some friend contacting at a park and got ate by bees.

As we left I got up the courage to fight some bees to invite a guy to church.

Almost got stung. After, we hit up some social media and dairy queen for a blizzard.

Sister Jacobson has an unreal amount of gift cards. Lucky me.

After we zoomed home for lunch and made a sandwich and left to go to Antwans.

We taught him outside and absolutely melted.

Taught with the elders and one of them shared like 5 personal stories. A bit too much.

Then we zoomed to Desirees and well, we had a TOUGH lesson about the law of chasity.

Mhm mhm. Felt a little defeated after, but we went knocking and holy moly we found 6 new awesome friends.

It was really cool because as soon as we prayed about where to go the answer came immediately.

Okay then a dude walks past us and is literally a gym rat whole man and asks, yall selling girl scout cookies?

… no just your salvation… turns out he's christian and is looking for a church.

Okay,  and as we leave he's all next time bring girl scout cookies….

Did I almost start singing, families can be together forever and a little I love my Mormon boy girls camp song……

After melting in the sun we decided we earned ourselves a little drink.

Let me put yall on something Dr pepper + diet Dr pepper + cream.

Will have you in a choke hold. We go to see this lady who's a referral and there's a crazy bad accident blocking the road

and slowed us down by soo much, but we find another way there and this lady immediately let's us in…. sus… t

hen admits she has no remembrance of requesting to meet,

but let's us teach her an entire restoration. I felt the spirit from my head to my toes. Unbelievable.

I could hardly speak and hold back the tears. The lady, Barbara was speechless.

Kept saying amazing and wow. I haven't been in a lesson like that in a minute. Again an outer body moment.

She is having us come back in two days… what??? Como??? Cloud 9. We went to institute and it was just lovely. 

Wednesday: Rain, tornadoes, crack house 

We did a stop by and got invited into a literal crack house. I quickly got us out of there.

The spirit was not dwelling in that home. All our lessons fell through but we made due with knocking!

We got tornado warnings, ya know the usual, and the rain was pouring!! 

Thursday: Mouse

We woke up, planned to go to the gym. I went into my bathroom that was destroyed by the water leakage

to get my gym clothes, and as I reached into the closet my hand comes face to face with a mouse! I screamed.

We tried to catch it and it disappeared so we thought it snuck under the door so we tore apart our whole apartment.

That turned into our exercise. Well we had to get going with our day.

I gave a training at district council, but a very short one because others went over time, but it turned out good.

We then did a bunch of texts, Social media, and comp study when our senior missionary called us and asked us to

take a picture of the hole in our wall that the maintenance People made to fix the water leak.

So we went back and what do we see… Remmy himself on my bathroom counter.

We found out he was hiding out in a hole on the floor.

So I stood in the bathtub with a bucket while sister Jacobson had the broom standing on the counter.

The plan was when he poked out of the hole she'd hit Remmy at me and I'd capture him in the bucket.

A little softball moment if you please. Well, plan did not work so we dumped some cheese and thought we'd come back

for dinner and get him.We had a good time knocking before running to the church for our Book of Mormon Study.

It was actually a good turnout this week. We had some great conversations.

We then headed to stow to check in on some people the sisters had found on training visits.

We got yelled at by one, but the other was pleasantly nice and interested. We taught her about the Book of Mormon.

We then headed to the apartment for round 2 of the shenanigans.

Well again he is posted up on the counter so what do we do?

Block his hole and close ourselves In with him. The man was blocked.

Haha so we tried to capture him first with the plunger but then he got himself into my scale so I threw him in a bag

and took him outside.

He refused to come out of the scale so he got tossed into the river.

Bye Remmy I thought, but this bugger comes swimming up… Yuck. I am a mighty hunter.

( don't worry the next morning I retrieved the scale from the river.) 

Friday: fr nothing happened 

Saturday: Baptism, plan of happiness, God's love 

Today was a lot. Woke up very ill feeling, but pushed forward. We went to the church early to print off the programs

for Antwans baptism!! During it we got a call from Jeremy's phone( my recent convert) it was his girlfriend calling us

to let us know he passed away two hours after we left his house.

My heart sunk for awhile. Felt absolutely destroyed and confused, but talking with Mandy and teaching her about the

spirit world brought the most comfort to me.

My sunken heart was filled with nothing but peace and love. We did not have time to sulk, we had to quickly finish

the program, fill the font, get the room all ready, get texts in and calls, and get lunch.

It was a bit chaotic. Antwan looked like the most precious thing ever. Watching him get baptized was tender.

When he came up his glow and smile was so noticeable. You could not deny it.

Watching Sister Blanks the less active member help and be there made my heart so full.

They're both now working to get to the temple.  Sister Blanks told me for once in her life the temple feels achievable,

even likely.

The joy I had could not be described. Tears do tend to come streaming. The Elders all sang a song and though it was

not worldly spectacular or beautiful it was spiritually. 

Sunday: Tums and tap water

Church was wild. We had Tiana, her husband, and their two kids come. Mike and Rodney. Plus Desiree!!!!!

Sacrament starts and Antwan Is nowhere to be found. The panic was there, but don't worry they snuck in late!!!

Seeing him get confirmed was so precious. It definitely felt like there was another person in the confirmation circle.

I spent the rest of Sacrament distracting Tianas boys so they could focus. They all loved church.

The YSA ward was interestingOne of the Nepali members are moving their records. In the middle of Sacrament he goes is this tap water yuk?

People have no sense of whispering lol. He then told me I had an angelic voice very loudly after a song.

About half way through I started feeling way worse. Rough day in the tummy.

Well after church we went to see Tiana and we snuck in the resto again and some other things.

It was such a smooth lesson and very filled with the spirit. She is the cutest lady i've ever met.

After, we had lunch and did our personal study. Staying awake was a nightmare at the end.

Nothing very exciting happened except we had texted Tiana about the word of wisdom and she was like yep

will be following it tomorrow. What a queen.
