Hello Everyone,
Hope y'all had a happy “National Fat Kid Day!” We spent Thanksgiving with a recent convert and his wife, and that is what they called Thanksgiving!
Last week started off pretty smooth, but got hectic very quickly. Monday and Tuesday were pretty normal days. Wednesday we went on exchanges and I was with an interesting Elder. I can't tell you exactly what it was, but something about him was just kinda weird. He's a really nice person but something is just a little off. His area is an hour away, so we had plenty of time to sit in the car and listen to MoTab. It was kind of an awkward 24 hours!
Thanksgiving was kind of awkward also. We went to the Cutler's house to eat like fat kids. They had some other people over. Nobody that we really knew, and everyone else knew everyone, so we mostly just ate and listened to everyone else talk. There was this newlywed couple there being newlyweds and somehow Elder Kiddle and I ended up sitting right next to them. There was a man there from Nigeria that was really fun to talk to. We were able to give him a Book of Mormon. He had only been in the US for 5 days, so it was fun to talk to him about all the little things that are different from Nigeria. Our light switches apparently are the opposite of theirs. So he will go to turn the lights on or off and try to push the switch the wrong way.
Then on the night the Black Friday sales started, we went to the mall and passed out cards. Which was again super awkward! No one would stop and talk to us so we would just give people cards without really being able to say anything to them.
There was a lot of awkwardness going on last week. Highlight of the week was Sunday night. Sunday night at 8:15 we still needed a New Investigator to achieve our goal for the week. Elder Kiddle looked at me and said that we wouldn't find one until 8:55 (because success never comes till the end). We started knocking on doors, and we found 2 potentials but no one to teach on the spot. Sure enough we knocked one last door at 8:55 and a man named Travis stepped out and started talking to us. We shared the Book of Mormon and a brief restoration lesson, had him read Moroni 10:3-7 and he said he really liked the book and that we could come back this Wednesday. If you ask in faith, you shall receive.
Love y'all!
Love,
Elder Harper
