Yo
I thought this week flew by fast but last pday seems like a month ago
On tuesday i started listening to the book Saints and its been really interesting. I have reached chapter 28 and have added at least 6 or 7 new questions to my questions list. I am lowkey feeling conflicted about some things now, but its been cool to learn more about how the church was restored and all the people who sacreficed for it. They've lost money, had their homes destroyed, been forced out of their communities, and attacked or killed for being a member of the church and for their beliefs and I've been trying to think if I would be willing to sacrifice that much for my religion. To stay strong against opposition. I like to think i would
Some happenings:
-hit 100 days on the mission this week!
-Got totally violated by a members dog who would not stop sniffing my feet for like 3 minutes
-whenever people are trying to explain a church different from ours they say "a normal church".... bro
-we have coincidentally ran into the same recent-ish convert like 8 times in completely opposite areas the past two weeks, and this last time he told us he wants to serve a mission but only if he can comp with a sister missionary 
-got peed on by a frog- in his defense I did pick him up
-almost got jumped by a chicken to the face, and later a dog that came out of NOWHERE. Never walking on the sidewalk here again. Thank goodness for its chain because I was one foot away from getting checked for rabies 
-we stopped at one house and yelled hello, and we thought a little kid or something was saying hello to us from inside, but it was literally a talking bird. Took us like 2 minutes to figure that out. In our defense he knew actual words which was so wack
This week we met up with my favorite friends right now 10 year old Luca and 14 year old Sara. They are both so interested in the gospel and have so many questions, its been so fun to see.
We stopped by yesterday to introduce ourselves to their parents and tell them our intentions, as if we were dating or something. We were a wee bit nervous because the parents have the big say on the kids progression, but all went well and we have an appointment with the whole family on Saturday!
In our last lesson with them a week ago we taught them about the plan of salvation, and we asked them to pray and ask God for themselves if it was true. When we left yesterday, cute Luca told us "I asked god if those things were true- and he said yes!"
He made my day
If anyone has reading or listening recommendations lmk! Right now im especially trying to build a testimony of the book of mormon, and its been a lot of fun seeing connections from the Bible or history that back it up, so if any of you have insights send them my way
