I was pretty proud of it, It was a great chant, and I would like to say it caught on pretty quick!
Sorry this is going to be so short, but seriously It was such a hard-working week. Which is awesome. But not a ton of stories.
On Friday me and Sister Rea went to the Elders area because there is a sister there that wanted us to visit her. While we were there we saw 2 white people out side of their lovely home, watering their lovely plants. We said hi to them, but that was all. We were waiting in the bus wait stop for one of our workers when my heart started racing like I needed to go talk to them. Then sister Rea says to me. "Sister Nott, I feel like you need to go talk to them." So I got up the courage and we walked over. (I know it shouldn't be scary to approach people. We do it every day. ALL day. but when they are white, it is TERRIFYING!! For they don't have that good ol' Filipino hospitality. ) I swear I was sent here to find every English speaking person in Agoo. They are a lovely couple around 50 or 60 that are from... wait for it.... GERMANY!!! with sweet German accents and all. Their names are Martin and his wife is Marian. They didn't know any Lifferths, and I felt like a sinner because for the life of me, I cannot remember what town Grandpa is from. WHAT IS THE NAME?!?!? Anyway we talked about sauerkraut and family. When I went to give him a pamphlet he said "oh there is no need. I am a proud Catholic." But after talking a little more to him, he said how it is just important to know that we are not alone in the world. We agreed, and how it is important to always give thanks to God for all of our blessings, and in the end he did take the pamplet! I told him that I would come back soon with the name of the Town, and pictures... so if you want to send some this week. That would be rad.
We had to extend the date for the dear Meana family baptism. They both struggle with the WOW, so sana, they will be ready by April 19th. They are good good people that are getting way to much criticism from their neighbors that used to be their friends. But it is like that quote that Elder Holland says about The Book of Mormon, and how it is torn apart and criticized because it is true. Satan doesn't want us to do what is right, as we all very well know. We know that he stops people, and works harder on those that will do great things. They will do great things.... They are strong, pray for the Meana Family.
At the Zone training last week when Elder Ardern talked about applying 'true doctrine' in our lessons. That is exactly what me and Sister Rea did. We have had a full week of good lessons, with good participation on the investigators, LA, and members a like. It was a good good week, but very tiring and me and Sister Rea rejoiced in the fact that today it is P day, and we can take a nice long nap.....
Love you all, have a blast at Rubby's Inn. Unless you only stayed until this morning. In that case I hope you had a great time! Hope you ate lots for me, and swam, and stayed up until all hours of the night!
Till next week,
-Sister Nott
