Well, I have a lot to say this week but little time (why does this always happen? haha I am still trying to learn time management I guess lol). First I wanna say that this week was awesome!! It's been suuper muggy and humid, apparently there's lotsa hurricanes out there in the pacific (not close to us though no worries) which is causing it to be super weird. This is the first time since the beginning of my mission that I've been in a biking area, and I think Heavenly Father sometimes has a sense of humor. I just got used to looking like a slob every day and always feeling sticky hahaha
First of all, I met some cool ladies from my last area Waianae, and I got to take them on a language tour. We were speaking pigeon hahaha. I actually do like being here at the VC. I heard a quote this week which sums up a lot of the frustrations I've had on my mission. It says, "you can count the seeds in an apple but you can't count the apples in a seed." I know that someday we will be able to count all the apples though. And they will be the sweetest, most crispy apples ever! hahaha
I'm still working on following spiritual promptings throughout my day, and I've been trying to show Heavenly Father that He can count on me. Last night we were walking to a dinner appointment and we were a little early and a big black dog started running at us. In my last area, I would have taken off running or something, because those dogs are mean. But I had a flashback when I saw this dog to about a year ago. And I realized that I had met this dog before! A year ago my comp and I were serving in the same area -- YSA 1st stake -- and we were tracting and nobody was home. We didn't know where to go. So we saw this dog and it saw us and stood up and started walking in front of us, looking back to make sure we were following it. We followed this dog to a house that we had never been to, and met some students inside. So when I saw that dog last night, I knew exactly what we needed to do... follow it! hahaha so we did and he took us to this house of these guys that are in a reggae band and they are less active. We have tried to visit them before but with no success. That house is nicknamed the "Pot House" and is just super sketchy looking but I just kept going all the way to the front door and knocked! They didn't answer (even though I am pretty positive they were home), so I just left a funny note. Anyways. My comp thinks I'm crazy but I seriously will follow that dog any where.
I'm outta time so that'll be my story for the week. haha. Do something crazy today!
