"And then a sound filled the night, in the
cold winter air...and as he looked towards the earth, for the source of
the sound, on that cold winter night, it was pulling him down."
-Trans-Siberian Orchestra
(I love that Album. I've listened to it every day for the past week. ...Don't judge me.)
Okeydokey,
so it has been a long burger-flipping time! ...I think. Frankly, I
can't even really remember yesterday, so I can't say for certain.
REGARDLESS! OFF TO SUMMARY!
After a long period
without a single Frecca story, I began to draw curious as to why they'd
all ceased. I worried deeply that perhaps I was somehow losing my utter
gorgeousness...so, to discover the root of the problem, I questioned
Elder Thibault (pronounced Tibo) what he thought of the matter. Almost
immediatly, he responded that a large chunk of it is most likely due to
the fact that I've probably adjusted to such. ...I thought about it, and
realized that he's right. Also, another notation (as the Frecca
experiences now are indeed less extreme than the fist few were) could be
due to the fast that I've lost a lost of my Gringoness/Greenieness.
EXPERIENCE NOW LINES MY SMILING EYES! *Puffs out chest and straightens
tie*
...Nevertheless, I do have a Frecca story.
We were teaching this family, and these two random women (neighbors, I
believe) accompanied us. As we were about to start teaching, the two of
them began asking questions that were just laced with the Frecca.
"Are you married?"
"No, we're missionaries."
"But do you have a girlfriend here?"
"No, we're missionaries."
"You can't have a girlfriend as a missionary?"
"No."
"But what if someone interests you while you're here? Would you come back for them and marry them?"
"..."
"What do you do if you start falling in love with someone?"
"I stop teaching them."
"What do you do if someone steals a kiss from you?"
"I stop teaching them."
"But what if God tells you that you should go back to teach them and that it's okay to fall in love with them?"
"He wouldn't do that."
Stayci
(our investigator closest to baptism) progresses insanely quickly! We
left the Word of Wisdom (the LDS Law of Health) for her to read (with
intention to teach it next time), and she told us that she was already
living it; she gave up coffee as soon as she started coming to church.
...WHY CAN'T ALL INVESTIGATORS BE AS GLORIOUS AS HER?!?! :D
Also,
something I'd never before noticed, but Stayci was actually the
blessing/response to a lot of prayers and one specific act of fasting.
In this aformentioned fast, we prayed to find someone that would
progress well, and actually come to church. That some Sunday, a brother in the Ward told us about a reference he had for us (which was Stayci). The Sunday following that, she came to church, and hasn't missed a day since.
Oh, and I have Five Months out now. No big deal. *Dances merrily in place*
Paz y Amor!
-Elder Jones
AND A COMIC!
