Well, I'm proud to say that I'm no longer a Greenie!!!! :) Today is the start of a new transfer, so I can officially say that! :) It's crazy how quickly time has gone by, but I still have a long ways to go. Every once in a while I think of how long 18 months really is. It's a SUPER long time!!! Sometimes I think, "what the heck did I get myself into?" but then, I just think of all of the many people I will get to meet and who I'll get to share my testimony with and how I'll have the opportunity to bring others unto Christ. What a blessing that is! There are more and more people that we have met that just have cruddy lives and I am so grateful for the gospel and what a blessing it has been in my life.
We met this one guy, Eddie, earlier this week and shared a #becausehelives pass-a-long card with him and invited him to watch it. Since we walk around Biddeford so much, we ended up passing his apartment like 3 days in a row and asked him if he watched the video yet. each time we asked he said no, so the last time we saw him, we told him to pull it up on his phone while we were standing there to make sure he watched it. Talk about being persistent, right? haha I don't think he believed us when we said the video was literally just 2 min long, because once he finished watching it, he said, "that wasn't that long at all!". haha we then ended up having a mini lesson with him on his porch about how God and Christ are always there for us and how we have a prophet on the earth today. We also left him with a Book of Mormon and marked multiple scriptures in it. I told him that he would actually have to read it now to find all of the scriptures we marked. haha He was excited to read it. We also met with him a couple of days later and brought him a Bible so that he could cross reference the bok of Mormon to the Bible and vice versa. So cool! We taught him the following day.....yes...we're in Biddeford A TON! haha. He told us that "at first I wasn't really into it, I was like 'ehhh'...but now {shaking the pamphlet} I'm like yeah!" haha pretty great.
SInce we walk around Biddeford a ton, I mean ALL. THE. TIME. we know pretty much everyone. No joke. We walk around town and say hi to people across the street, in cars driving by, to people we pass on the street, to people walking by when we're stopped at a crosswalk, etc. etc. It's kind of ridiculous. But it's also pretty fun! haha I feel like I'm known over here! Which is a good thing because Sister Craig is leaving me and I'm going to have to area train my new companion starting tomorrow. I'm slightly freaking out, but it'll be fine. I might just have a few anxiety attacks, but no big deal. ha I just think it'll be fun to introduce my companion to people on the street every 5 seconds! :)
I hope you are all enjoying your start to summer since it's already June!! So crazy! I love you all and hope you have a GREAT week!!!
Keep P.U.S.H.ing!
