This was... a weird week. (7/27)

This week was super bizarre.  I don't really know why... we continue to have a great time here in Sisaket.  We really did try our hardest all week... and yet we felt like our efforts yielded few results as far as numbers or investigators found.  But... I trust that when we work hard :) we get an opportunity to learn patience, and then success will come :)  And I also very much so hope that people came closer to Christ as a result of our efforts :) so that's good.
This week.  Haha... we just had a million weird things happen to us.  I'll give you just a little taste test with a few little snippets from our week.

Last MONDAY we went to a family home evening at this sweet sister's house.  It was just really funny.  For some reason me and Sister Hughes got put at our own little table away from everyone else.  :)  We had fish stomach soup.  It just feels like spongy stuff.  Apparently it's a chinese dish.  Anyway.  We were so full.  Every meal feels like Thanksgiving when you eat at someone's house.  :)  But because we were sitting by ourselves... we may or may not have snuck a plate of rice back into the rice cooker and just split one plate between us.

TUESDAY.  We had a funny English class about Cowboys.  We told everyone to dress up like a cowboy.  Only one person and us missionaries did :)  But it was still fun.

WEDNESDAY.  Was the weirdest day of all.  Haha... we made a list of all of the very odd things that happened that day... the list would include.  Us learning about someone that was lying to us.  Ouch.  Us seeing someone throw up in a grocery store where we were eating lunch.  Ew.  (I personally didn't look.)  Us hearing a lot of really really weiiiiiiird religious beliefs of an investigators mom.  It was weird.  The list went on and on.  But.  It was an amusing day.  

SATURDAY.  This one isn't weird.  It's just awesome.  WE went to a less active woman's house who hasn't been to church in a very very long time.  There just happened to be an activity at the church.  A cake making activity.  We invited her to go.  She told us she'd follow us there, but she had to shower first.  Sooo... we just stood outside while she showered and then went all together to the activity.  It was a miracle.  

SUNDAY.  Was a really cool day.  Brother Moo got the gift of the Holy Ghost and is now a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  There was also a really special baptism.  That amazing sister I told you about a couple of weeks ago.  Well... her brother got baptized this week.  He has changed immensely.  Again, I see it manifest primarily in his smile :) There mother also came to church and was there for the baptism.  It was amazing.  

ALSO.  Later... we went to a member's house for dinner.  And Elder Angkham caught this lizard.  I was so scared when I heard about these in the MTC.  They're called Duke yeahs.  Haha... they can bit you and lock on.  Elder Angkham says that one time one bit his stomach.  It took him like an hour to get it off.  And it made him bleed and tore his shirt.  He also says he likes them.  He caught it with a string on a stick.  I don't know how... but somehow.  :)  Haha.  Great times.

There is nothing like being a missionary.  I wouldn't give it up for anything.  It is a joy to be here.  If you ever wonder if you should be a missionary.  I think you should :)  Jonathan.  You have to :)  It's already in vinyl on the wall.  I really do love it though.  I know it's true.  I know that Jesus Christ is our Savior.  I know that this is His church.  

I love you so much.  So so much.  

Have a wonderful week.

Love,
Sister Croft
