So this week has been....interesting....ASL training is weird when I don't remember actually learning the language so I don't know how to teach the language but I think I am doing ok? I guess? but anywho, this week we had crazy things happening, from investigators wanting us to call the police, to ice cream and tacos (seperately), and then driving all over Tacoma. and getting kicked out of a deaf event in Yelm, Washington.
It was awesome, we had Mengistu come to church yesterday, he is from Ethiopia and he is so awesome! We are excited to be working with him! We are also working with quite a few other people and are honestly trying to help the see the importance of what they are doing!
So the deaf event, was this huge Deaf Retreat in the middle of nowhere, if any of you have ever heard of Yelm before now I applaud you because I had no idea it was a thing. So anyway, we went there and we showed up and it turned out to be a multi church conference thingy and we asked if we could come in and just mingle and meet people. The first guy said "I don't think Jesus would shun people", the second guy said "Yeah I agree, but we have never let Mormons or Jehovahs Witness here before, but I think we can let them in" and they went and got a third guy, Head Honcho and I quote "We can't let you in" "Why not" "We just can't", even after the two guys told him what they thought and he got really awkward about it because we were pretty bold in what we were doing and then we just said ok, we will respect you, but we are going again next year and we will get in so thats good news!!
that was an interesting story, also we had a member make us ice cream that was honestly pretty good but it made us both sick. And tacos from a Taqueria El Rinconsito that were so good!! Also we drove all over Tacoma, super fun.
Anywho I am doing great! I know that the Lord guides His servants to do the most good that they can and that He can guide you too! Don't take my word for it though, follow President Nelsons advice to receive revelation and know for yourself!!
Love you all!
