Hoorah for missionary documentaries, stalking investigators at Petsmart and funny jokes with a general authority

Sis. Wise and Tenney

Missionary Documentary: okay! Richard in the YSA ward is a student at UWM (one of the campuses we serve on) and he is studying film! and he asked us and the elders if we would be willing to be the missionaries in a documentary on missionary work and mormons! Its a project for his class! he is so excited to share it with his class and find those who want to know more! It is just evidence to me that the Lord knows what gifts we have and uses them to spread the gospel!

     stalking investigators at Petsmart: so our investigator, Maria, is getting baptized next week on the 14th! we are SO EXCITED but we know that the adversary works on those who are about to make a covenant with God! so we decided that we need to contact maria EVERYDAY! Preferably in person! So it was saturday and realized we hadn't seen her! so i said "WOAH! shes working!" and so sister gross and tenney said "aww shoot! thats okay we will just see her tomorrow!" and i said "no lets go see her at work!" hahahaha! Shes a groomer at Petsmart and so we go and see her car outside and go scare her! It was hilarious! "oh hi maria.....yeah just....buying some lizard food.....?...................have you been reading the Book of mormon?...." hahahhaha it was awkward but hey IF ITS NOT AWKWARD...ITS NOT MISSIONARY WORK!

      Jokes by general Authorities: so we had MLC this week (missionary Leadership Council) and we had the cool opportunity to have elder Ulisees Soares from the presidency of the seventy come to talk with us! he wanted to shake all of hands and meet us! and he looked at me and said "Sister! Where are you from?" and i told him idaho and he said "how do you pronounce your last name??" "Wise! like a wise guy!" and he thought that was really funny and he said "you are wise! I can tell aren't you?" and i told him that i wasn't that wise haha...it really wasn't that funny..but his Brazillian accent made the exchange we had 1000 times more awesome! hahaha

     Elder Soares really hit me hard! he walked in the room and we stood and i just felt a special spirit! It reminded me of general conference when we stand for the prophet to walk in! it made me think! What if the Savior walked in to a room! would i stand in respect or would i bow! would i just be like...face down on the ground because i revere Him? i think it would be the second option! I had an interview with my mission president and we were talking about the work with the YSA's and he just said "you have grown close to Christ have you not??" and i said "wow....i guess i have......" Its true I love my Savior! i serve Him by the way i live my life! "SO i'll be the kind of person! That i know i'd like to be if i could see the Savior standing nigh watching over me!"

I LOVE THIS WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
