First of all... I love my companion. She is amazing, and she is
seriously the best missionary ever. We had a lot of fun this week
teaching people, talking to people on the street, and teaching and committing our investigator from last week to baptism! She got to do the invitation, and
she was so excited! It was great to see. ;)
My companion and I have have been working hard on "opening our mouths" and talking to people.
I am usually the one to start conversations. But I want to brag about my awesome companion. As we were biking down a
hill, we saw a man getting out of his car. I had a prompting to ask
my companion to start the conversation! I asked her, and assured her that I will
always be there if she freaks out or gets to nervous and I can help her out. So we went
over... and she started to talk to him, making the first contact, etc. It was a great conversation, and he
even brought up his grandpa who had passed away who he loved, and he wanted
to know where we thought he was... My companion had the spirit so strong, and she
shared with him the Plan of Salvation. She was able to make a return
appointment with him. AND BOY... AFTER THAT, SHE WAS GLOWING. I was so
excited for her. I feel like after that, she had "missionary fever" ALL
NIGHT. We would see people, and she would start talking to them! IT WAS
AMAZING!! But... I have to admit, she did throw me under the bus when it
came to people who spoke Spanish and I had to do the speaking, which is funny because I only know a little but I have learned to share a basic message in Spanish and I try to communicate, but were were able to get many referrals that day for the Spanish missionaries as well in our area. And we gained 7
potential investigators after that! So all in all, it was some successful "opening our mouths" this week.
I am so grateful to be on my mission! It makes me so happy and I
wouldn't want to be anywhere else! I love you all and hope you have a
great day!!
By the way... picture of the buggy...
The members gave it to us to
we could travel places, like if we needed to go to laundry and get
groceries because we do not have a car... I love the members here :)
My darling companion. She is awesome!
Love to you all and have a happy 4th of July! I love our country and am grateful for the opportunities it provided for the restoration of the gospel. Have a great week!
Love,
Sister Guilott
