Hello. Well this week has been good! We had a baptism!! Victor was baptized on Wednesday and confirmed yesterday! It was awesome. President Crane (He interviewed Victor) Said he was the most prepared Person for baptism he has ever seen. Haha i gave a talk at his baptism and guess who decided to show up.... The Jeppsons! That made it even scarier. Goodness. I was so scared. But i did it. Thats all that matters right? And it was fine. Well our monthly focus this month is the book of mormon. Pretty good focus to have right? And what we are focusing on is contacting with the Book of mormon. Well our goal as a zone is for each companionship to get at least 10 contacts a day. We've been working really hard on this. Especially since i HATE contacting. It scares me because i dont know how to play of things people say to make it good. So ya i usually just let sister Garn take the lead until this week. But now. I just go for it. We have a competition to see who can get the most contacts this week and i want to win. Its not all about numbers but thats whats driving me. Something i realized about myself...well kind of already knew. Is that i am very competitive. haha. i like scoring goals. Im thankful for this competition for getting me going. For making me just do it. Now i just approach everyone and start talking. I still stink at it. but im getting better....well that fact that i actually do it now. Shows some improvement! haha. We got 63(!!!) contacts the other day! It was awesome. I just need to get better at relating things. Its a work in progress and its coming. aNd im starting to enjoy contacting. Its fun! Haha we meet some of the meanest and creepiest people.. and its kinda frustrating because most everyone in our area is polish or italian or macedonian. actually we have a little bit of everything. but around our main cities we have the most polish. and polish seem to be the meanest. haha. shout out to Elder Jake Fotu out there in Poland. Well i dont want to scare anyone but i have to tell this story cuz its kind of funny. on Saturday we were contacting and we rang this doorbell...an old guy opens the door with no shirt on. He has the biggest beer belly and hes super hairy. wellll... he didnt really speak english so we were trying our best to explain to him that we are missionaries but he wasnt getting it. He was just trying to get us to go in his house in broken english (while rubbing his belly and playing with his stomach hair) "sorry no shirt ....come in... please come in. please. No scary. no dungeon. No danger. please come in. no please. In the duration of about 10 minutes he was trying to get us to go in his house saying different things like this and we were like we are so sorry we have another appointment and we cant come in without another woman. "It ok. i a professional (at what? creeping) .. no danger i alone." hahaha. ya that makes it worse man. we were creeped out but it was funny. and then we met some other weirdos that day. oh and other funny stories of the week.... we rang a doorbell last night at an appartment complex and it was one of those one that they have to buzz us in. Well no one usually buzzes us in so i wasnt expecting it and a huge buzz noise went off and the door unlocked and i jumped so high and just sprinted sooo fast a few steps and then fell to the floor hahaha i was dyinng. I may or may not have peed a little. hahaha. And highlight of the month was when one of our members randomly decided to teach us how to say hello in chinese...hahaha you had to be there. but it was so funny. Here face was so funny when she did it her voice was hilarious. I was trying to keep all serious. but i loooooost it. full on laugh attack on the floor. and i couldnt breathe. almost had an asthma attack. I was scared i was going to offend our member by laughing. but she thought it was hilarious and she LOVES me now. hahaha. may or may not have peed a little in that as well. Ni ja ma. (thats hi in chinese...i think.). oh i love her so much. I came up with a way cool analogy last night for our investigator named China that doesnt think she is ready for baptism. I dont have time to explain it but its way cool. haha. it involves the wizard of oz. gotta go. Love you all so much! have a fantastic week!
love, Hermana Josse
