Week 2.3 eavesdropping and kittens

January 17, 2022

I'm not gonna lie. Weekly emails are such a commitment. And sometimes I am so lazy. But. I will try to make this one good

Update for this week:

We went knocking on people's doors a lot this week, in many different apartment complexes, and found many people that were interested! Except that least one of them may not actually be interested... here is the story haha

So basically, this guy named Isaac lived on the 3rd floor. We knock on his door, talked to him,got his number, gave him a pamphlet, and he said we could come back! Then we leave and knock on the rest of his downstairs neighbors XD

We got to the last door on the first floor, which is like under the stairs, and nobody answers (which was a #miracle) because then Isaac and his friends come out of their apartment and one of them is like "are the mormons gone?? I wanna talk to them!" And not in a nice way haha so we just... waited under the stairs... while we heard them complaining about "the mormons ALWAYS coming to their door" it was actually really funny but also super awkward haha

We ALSO talked to a lot of people that we were able to give copies of the Book of Mormon to! There was this one man we talked to who was Russian, but super interested! He had a cute son who brought out their kitten for us to pet, it was so sweet :))) I love cats haha

AND our friend Kaydence is basically SET for baptism on the 29th! She turns 10 on her baptism day, which is so sweet! We're gonna go through the interview questions with her on Thursday, and then her interview is next week! We are so so excited and happy for her! She and her family have come a long way :))

Scripture of the week:

2 Nephi 1:15
