A man yesterday started his talk with a quote "A talk should be like a woman's skirt- long enough to cover the essentials but short enough to keep your attention." I love how you never know what to expect. I laughed so hard.
A few little fun things that have happened that I haven't mentioned yet. A few weeks ago we went and talked to a lady who's big big dogs were in the yard. Her husband kept them back while we were talking to her ( she wasn't very nice) but when left, the woman goes " get em' girls." What! She put her dogs on us?? People. She called them back when they started towards us and were were fine but it was just funny.
The other day we went to talk to an older gentleman sitting in his garage that he had turned into a shop where he made toy trains for the kids for Christmas. TONS of trains everywhere, it was really neat. He was a super sweet man and we are going back to see him.
But before we left he asked us our names. To which I replied " Sister Gilmer." He leans forward and says "Kristy?" My jaw dropped.
Sister Schillemat repeated Sister Gilmer and told him her name and I was left speechless. What a weird little situation. We went to a Halloween party the other day.
But lets be honest, things like that are just awkward when your a missionary. We kind of had to because they were our dinner though.
What else... Someone fixed us beans and rice! Sausage and everything! It felt like home. It was the best! :) So victor, the young man that got baptized a few weeks ago received the priesthood yesterday and is still excited for a mission! I cant get over how awesome he is! He makes my day every time. We also met another man names Ismael who is a little older.
We have met with him once and taught the Restoration and are meeting with him again on Tuesday. He is also pretty sweet! He committed to baptism before we even finished inviting him and he was very receptive to the lesson. Super sweet and said the most humble and sincere prayer I think I have ever heard. He is amazing! We met another kid who is 18. his name is Daniel and we had a similar lesson with him. I have never seen someone so excited to receive a Book of Mormon. He was pretty awesome as well!
I know I have said it before but it continues to amaze me how prepared for the Gospel some people are. I know that Heavenly Father is truly preparing people and it is such a blessing to be a part of their lives. I love love love. teaching people.
For Halloween we have to be in by six or at the zone activity. Unless your us. My companion and I are going to the Haygoods ( senior couple in our ward) and having dinner and playing games. I'm super stoked! They are amazing and I love them to pieces! They might invite some elders but either way, its gonna be awesome! Please tell everyone I love them! And I love hearing from everyone! Its so great to get so much support through letters and I really appreciate it! Even if I don't get a chance to write back as soon as I would like. I really do appreciate all of them so much!
We also went to see a girl that we are supposed to be teaching because she invited us back but they never answer their door when we come. So we have an appointment and she pulls up at the same time as us... gets out of the car and runs inside. Little strange but, ok. We knock on the door and they turn out the porch light. haha! fun stuff.
Its sad when people are that way but when it is that extreme, all you can do is laugh because that really just happens.
We are still teaching the four little boys and they are the best! They are so fun to teach and so excited for baptism. Their great uncle keeps me laughing. He picks on my ALL. THE. TIME. I love that man. He says we're best friends. :) alright. Thats it for today. Hopefully I will be able to get a letter and some pictures in the mail. I LOVE YOU ALLL! :)
Sister Gilmer :)
