I'm Not Playing Pokemon Go!

We had a really good, really HOT week!
Tuesday we got to do a zone blitz of one of the other hermana's areas! So all like 10 of us in the zone headed over there to contact/teach/find/whatever to help them out. So we were wandering hills of Highland Park (I think that's where we were...?) consulting the iPads for the addresses of where we were supposed to go and some guys yell "there's a pikachu back there!" We are NOT playing Pokemon Go, alright??? Geez. We're searching for souls to save #gottacatchemall

Also this week our mountains lit on fire because of the excessive heat and it snowed ashes for a few days!! Closest thing to snow ;) but the smoke at least blocked some of the sunlight so it wasn't quite as hot. I'll take what I can get out here ;)

We've also been working a lot with less actives recently and we had some huge wins this week!!! One hermana who supposedly said that she wants nothing to do with the church/the missionaries came to our branch activity of pupusas and karaoke!! We'd visited her a few times with mixed results, so this was huge! :) (This is the hermana we taught fractions to, btw!) And then another menos activo came to church AND brought her grandson who we've been trying to teach forever!! MIRACLES EXIST GUYS.

So speaking of the branch activity, that was one of the best activities ever!!! It was a fundraiser for girls camp, so they were selling pupusas and churros--both were delicious! And then they had like open mic karaoke and it was just so fun :) We had like 4 investigators come too! So so cool. And then we had 4 investigators at church as well! Ahhh it makes me so happy😊

A neat thing we've realized this week came rom being rejected multiple times. We had a few people who'd talked to missionaries before forever ago and when we went back, they were completely uninterested and didn't want anything to do with the church. HOWEVER. Not one of them contested us on the fact that the Book of Mormon is the word of God. You know why, because they KNOW it too. They've received the confirmation from the Holy Ghost because EVERYONE who reads it will receive it. And whether or not they want to listen to us, I think it just goes to show how powerful that the BoM is true when no one we've encountered who's actually read nay of it will try to tell us it's wrong.
