Publisher's note: I think the photo with Laurel and Sister Watts below has got to be a missionary classic.Check out the freshener scent!
I ate so much moose for dinner last night.
It's also 40 degrees in the mornings now...and it's getting dark.
We run into moose on the daily.
It's rained rained rained rained.
And that's your Alaskan update.
So MIRACLES this week.
We went to a gas station and asked the guy working there if he saw
missionaries a lot. He did. Also he had a Book of Mormon. And he had
read some. Yes he had questions. Sure he'd like to meet with
missionaries again. His name was Brandon.
We went to another gas station to buy the product that we hadn't been
able to buy at the previous gas station. The lady there had seen
missionaries before. Yes she had met with them, about a year ago. Yes
she would like to meet with us again. Her name was Pam.
Then we got pita pit. This really rad girl that works there that we
see all the time got talking with us. Yes she would like to meet with
us. Yes she DID meet with us. Her name was Audrey.
Oh boy there were miracles. We have needed a new investigator SO
badly. For so long. Thursday morning we called sister Robinson, and as
we were getting off the phone with her she said the most inspired
thing: " I hope you meet a new investigator- TODAY!" That was the day
we met Brandon and Pam. The next day we met Audrey. God is good and he
allows us little success for just long enough that we KNOW it's not by
our efforts that we have investigators.
My dear compy had been sick, and she has been so nice as to allow me
to witch doctor her. It's worked great.
We also got to go to the temple! Everything Is better with a sister
Dall with you.
God has taught me resilience. But I still don't listen to it all the
time. Also, this Ward is FIIIIINALLLLLLYYYY getting more missionary
minded. That's been one of the main things we've been doing here.
Challenging challenging challenging, inviting, cajoling, promising,
begging, pleading, following up following up.... What's it take
people? But we are seeing change. We've got some good ideas on the
horizon.
So I challenge, cajol, and plead with you. Take a Book of Mormon with
you. Give it to someone who you think,probably won't want it, but just
might. It's the most joyful thing.
I love you!
Sister Galli
