#WreckStuart

Hey friends and family.

Just to start, I love you all, thanks for all your support, you truly are amazing.

March 7: P-day was so much fun! We had a multi-zone activity and it was a blast, we played kickball and soccer and charades and really just had a lot of fun as a bunch of missionaries. #WreckStuart was our text theme all week as we totally demolished them in our activities. Super fun to see them all though!


March 8: Today fun but bad experience. We had a meal appointment with a member tonight and they cancelled last minute. We were trying to figure out where to go eat when we got a text from a different member saying they had food for us and we should come pick it up! Yes!! Except it was Haitian soup which is made of like straight oil. Let's just say our stomachs did not thank us for that and we felt sick all night and part of the next morning.

March 9: Cool miracle today. We got a random text from a guy named David who had previously been investigating but didn't have time because of work. Well now he is ready to learn again so that is awesome. Truly a blessing because we haven't been able to find people to teach for a while and we've been knocking doors like crazy.

March 10: God is truly so good. Today was a crazy day and we were all over the place and didn't really know where we needed to be. Well we still needed to knock for an hour and decided to knock these apartments by us. Well we met Richie (over the age of 30 so not YSA darn) who was truly touched that we had the courage to walk up to random people and offer to pray with them. He'd had a bad experience with religion in the past but had recently turned to God a little more and wants to come to church because "if they are half as nice as you two girls it must be pretty great".

March 11: We got to do service today which was awesome. I love service! It's cool because when we go they call us Sister Sister. Also cool thing is they are starting to trust us a lot, we got to do intake of donation items for the ReStore and kind of be the face that people see today which was awesome.

March 12: Today most of our appointments fell through and our investigators weren't home. Funny experience though we walked up to these two guys on the street and were talking to them about church and one of them said "the street is my church, I learn all the lessons I need from it". It was so funny! He did say he would try and stop by our church on Sunday (not sure if he knows the right one since he thinks its the Church of God but that is the name of a different church near ours.)

March 13: Sunday was truly just a miracle day. A former investigator texted us telling us he wants to come back to church and meet with us again. We had people come to church, Yeah!!! An investigator who hasn't really wanted to meet with us told us she is finally ready to start working towards baptism and wants to be baptized in April. Our investigators brought friends to church. Crazy how great God is.

Love you all! Have a great week!
