We have been door knocking a lot lately and I get bored sometimes! It is hot and you can only be told no so many times in a row before I start to lose my mind! Haha so I do things to mix it up once in a while!
We went up to a storm door and the bottom part that is glass was broken out so I decided to climb through it. I knock on the door and then as the lady opens the door Sister Edwards is in the process of following me through the door and the lady was in shock she was like "no no" haha Sister Edwards looked like she was just caught committing a crime! It was priceless!! I am guessing it was one of those you had to be there moments but still it was great!
Poor Sister Edwards always ends up the victim! When I see a dog I ALWAYS mentally measure the chain to see what my next move should be! So I get up on this porch and SURPRISE a dog. The chain is not fully visible and the dog was angry so I got off that porch as fast as I could, The only issue was my dear companion was in my way so in my panicked state I pushed her into the dog and continued to run to safety! Haha It was really funny!
(Sister Edwards was not harmed don't worry)
And my last door knocking story of the week! I saved the worst for last!!
Drum roll please.....
Sister Edwards was knocking on a door that was like 2 inches open and someone yells "Come in" People do that! usually they are just sitting on the couch and are to lazy to come to the door! Well as we open the door we do not see anyone! Then....then.... a Big Black NAKED man all dressed up in his birthday suit comes around the corner!!! AHHHH We left the door fully open and ran until we got to the front of the apartment complex! We ended our door knocking in that area and we left! Somethings you just cannot unsee!!!
He was not expecting us! the door was not open for us and he was not wanting us to come in! By far my most AWKWARD door knocking experience! I don't think anything can top that! And that is not a challenge!!
On a more spiritual note:
On Thursday the Thompson's gave us a TON of food! More than 2 Sister Missionaries can eat! So while we were door knocking we came across a couple who is expecting and they weren't interested but when we asked if there was anything we could do for them they asked us if we could help them with food! My mind went back to all the food that was given to us and once again like the last time the Thompson's gave us a lot of food the thought came to my mind "This food is not for you!" I was humbled in that moment! I never have wondered when the next time I am going to eat. And this woman was struggling because she is needing to eat 3-4 times a day now! That broke my heart! That is how much we should be eating anyway! After I get done here we will be going to deliver them our extra food that we were blessed with!
Well that is about how my week has been! I am learning so much and I LOVE this area! I hope I can stay one more transfer! I will find out on August 7th!
I love you all and love all your letters and emails! I appreciate all you do for me and all the prayers! I hope you have a fabulous week!!
