Hola! como estan?!

This week was better! we had more lessons and finally were able to teach some new people and pick up some new investigators. Hermana Judd and I have been trying to figure out what we can do to change, to be progressing missionaries so that we can have our own progressing investigators. What are our fears and how can we overcome them? We've been praying like crazy to know how to better ourselves. So I like talking to people right. thats not a problem. Hermana Judd on the other hand, she's shy until she knows you. so street contacting- a little difficult. She knows this is a huge fear, but didn't want to share with me. I FINALLY figured it out after 4 weeks. I need to stop and let her do the talking. it takes so much faith and courage to do it. but we made the resolve to JUST DO IT! and oh man! I am so proud of Hermana Judd! She was scared out of her mind, but she talked to everyone we passed by, we found a man who was baptized in '85 in a ward in the stake, but moved to texas right after, and just recently moved into our ward. we also talked to some other really cool people. And the very next day we went to see a less active in our ward who will be able to come back to church in 2 weeks- her sister and neice were there- and we started teaching them- YAY NEW INVESTIGATORS!

What else? We decided to go park contacting one day and a bunch of kids came up to us- I KNOW YOU! one said, you came to my house. and the other 2 just started talking to us. oh kids. they are the best! they are the most willing to talk to missionaries. parents... not so much sometimes. but kids are the best!

Those are about all the highlights oh, Adventures of Hermana Randall and her bike. we have a love hate relationship. last friday- more of a hate hate relationship. but thanks to biking elders who actually have some knowledge about how bikes should work, we have come to the conclusion that it's probably user error.

Oh! and There's an Elder serving from our ward, who is the only member in his family- we go visit his family once a week just to see how they are doing and how Their son is doing. The sister- Ana is having kind of a rough time right now. she wants a change in her life. she wants to be better. Before they didn't want to know anything about the gospel, but we think it's time that Ana would benifit a ton from the gospel. we'll keep you updated :)

 

Have a fabulous week! Hermana Randall
