Meeting the Mormons

 So one SWEET thing that went on this week is Janice watched meet the Mormons with us!!! :) it was wonderful! She loved it! and was just eating it up!!! and then after said "you guys are the mormons???" ....keep in mind she's been investigating for like.....8 months!!! hahaha as i picked my jaw off the floor is said "yes! Yes janice we are mormons!" haha and she said that it was really nice to watch the movies because it cleared up some misconceptions people have about the mormon people! So THAT was so so so great! but then she actually got to MEET some Mormons! some Mormon dancers that is!!!! so BYU DANCERS!!!!!! YEP! we got permission to go to a show and watch the BYU folk dance team! and It was PHENOMONAL!!!!!!!! I just loved it! the whole time my smile was ear to ear!!!!!!!!!!!! so great to watch the art that i LOVE!!!!!!!! and janice got to meet some dancers afterward!! its amazing that we can praise the Lord with both song AND Dance!!!!!!! so fun!

     It was beautiful beautiful beautiful weather this week! you know what THAT means!!!!!!!!!! STREET CONTACTING! hahaha it has been so so so so so fun just talking to people on the street and acting like your best friends!! that is something i have learned! if you compliment them and then let them know you are genuinely interested in them...THEN they respond to you!!!!!! it is so cool! and i have also learned that EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! connects back to the restored gospel!!!!!!!! it is so cool! I can be saying "oh where do you get your hair done?" one minute and "hey joseph smith is a prophet of God" the next! just lets me know that this work is true! it applies to everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

      The cutlers had a missionary fireside that we brought janice to on sunday!!! it was INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!! they are stellar individuals and will be so missed! I know that they have testimonies of Christ because they act like Christ! i also saw SISTER TENNEY for the last time (shout out!) I love that girl and am sad she is going home! she has served so well here in milwakee! our weeks together as companions were definitely cherished!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

       But i also saw SO MANY People from the muskego Lakes ward that i LOVE and ADORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and i saw earl!!!!!!! Earl is a guy that sister palmer and i found on the street and he was baptized! so good to see him again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! anyway...this email is special...kind of all over the place!!!! hahaha

      Quick story: I am one of those people who will do crazy things to save a relationship or to get one started! And we were visiting with a less active woman! we want to start meeting with her less active daughter! She doesn't really care when we come but she never listens! so i said "Hey quanesha! when we come back and give a lesson...will you braid my hair and then stay for the lesson???" and she said "TOTALLY" because she is into doing hair! SO PUMPED!!!!! so thats the sad part....i agreed to get dreads next week...bye bye hair! hahaha KDDING! but she is doing corn rows so i fit in the hood better! hahahhahaha
