Hi everyone!:D
I don't have much to tell ya'll but I do have a few funny stories. Last week when we were knocking doors five little black boys started talking to us while we going down the street. They asked us for cards that they could hand out, so we gave each of them a stack of Mormon cards. One of the kids stood really close to me and said "See these six cards, if I hand all of them out will you go on a date with me?" Sister Elms was like yea yea she'll go on a date with you! So all the kids took off and we could hear them across the neighborhood handing cards out to everyone lol Literally five minutes after we gave them the cards one of the boys came around the corner on his bike with his hands in the air and yelling they're gone! He had a big smile on his face and then asked me when I wanted to go out. A few minutes later the rest of the kids finished and they asked if we had any more cards. They cleaned us out! The boys were hilarious. The little kid who wanted to go out called me his girlfriend and Sister Elms has a boyfriend too. Me and Sister Elms are no longer single lol :D They stopped by us four times as we were knocking doors and sometimes they tried to talk to us while we were talking to someone.
A couple of days ago we were knocking doors in a black ghetto and this really nice lady let us in. We started teaching the Restoration, and towards the end there was a knock on the door. Betty ( The lady we were talking to) answered the door and we heard someone say "Are you studying the Restoration?!" "Are there missionaries here?" Betty was holding a pamphlet when she answered the door. We had no idea who this person was we couldn't even see who it was when she answered the door. After this guy asked if there were missionaries here he look around the corner past the door and saw us. He was like "Hi Sisters!" (completely stranger, had no idea who he was) This young man was there to install her TV and he asked us if he was interrupting the lesson. We told him he wasn't and that he was welcome to join. Betty asked him if he knew us and he said he was familiar with the church. We continued with the lesson and talked about the Book Of Mormon and me and Sister Elms bore our testimonies on it. Nick (The young man) also added his testimony and said that he was actually a member and had served a mission in Guatamala. One of the things he said was that the book will change your life and what the sisters have taught you will only get better from here. Before he told us he was a RM, me and Sister Elms were thinking he had to be a RM, because the things he said were totally things that a missionary would say. Towards the very end we told her we would love to came back and share with her more about our teachings. Nick was like " So when are you coming back?" Me and Sister Elms both turned to Betty when can we come back? We're seeing her next Thursday and we gave her a Book Of Mormon. Nick was a big help and I'm not sure if we would have gotten a return appointment if he hadn't been there. It was awesome and it just shows how Heavenly Father helps us, and how he is aware of our every need and concern. He's timing really is perfect and it was really cool experience. What are the chances that a RM would just happen to knock on that door while we were there teaching a Restoration lesson:D #OurGodIsAnAwesomeGod:D
Those are the only stories I have but i'll have more for ya'll next week:D Hope ya'll are having the greatest day ever!!:D #GospelsTrue!
Love, Sister Keables!:D
