We met someone this week we speaks Spain Spanish, so don't mind me practicing my vosotros form, which is incredibly appropriate cause it's the Spanish equivalent of "y'all".
Any who, this week was pretty normal! We knocked, and taught all about repentance. We found 9 new investigators! It's not to hard to find people who are interested in listening and setting a return appointment. The hard part is converting those people into holding their return appointments and converting them into real investigators. Nevertheless, we have been having pretty good success. We have found a lot of success with less actives, teaching them and their nonmember families! Our little group is so awesome. They want to help so much.
There are so many good people here in Bowling Green! We hit most of our goals this week, except for baptism dates set and investigators at church, but it wasn't for lack of trying. We invited A LOT of people and a lot of people said they would come to church, but when it came down to it, nobody showed except some less actives. They just need more encouragement and help in their repentance process!
Have I mentioned how amazing my comp is? She told me to tell y'all she is left handed, loves chamoy (tastes like spicy dirt btw), and can beat any elder in basketball. (Truth, they don't let us be on the same team.) She is from Monclova, Coahuila, Mexico. Our lives are one continuous stream of google translate. We both pretty much speak each others' language, but we lack a lot of vocabulary for things that come up when you are together 24/7. She has 11 months in the mission but only about 8 in the states.
Yesterday, we had walked really far for an appointment that fell through. We knocked around that same area with no success. We found one Spanish speaker who was not interested. We talked to some other people who said they knew one other Hispanic who was not going to receive us. We tried anyway, and he let us in to talk with his cute little family with the cutest little Cuban kids.
Spiritual thought: "God cares a lot more about who we are and about who we are becoming, than about who we once were." - Elder Dale G. Renlund
I love this quote because it is so true. If we repent, that is all God really cares about. He see us as we can be, not as we used to be. He is absolutely willing to accept us if we are willing to accept Him and His will.
Encanta la vida como misionera!
Tengáis un buen semana!
Sincerely,
Hermana Nielson
P.S. - My comp wanted to take fall pictures on our walk.
