May 2: Today for p-day we went and rode a carousel near our house and it was so much fun.
May 3: We had a cool thing happen today, we went on a fire exchange with the Elders. Instead of switching companions for an hour we had 4 elders knocking doors with us so that was tons of fun. We also met with a part member family where the member makes Jesus Fish with LDS inside it and he passes them around to everyone. He gave us each one so I'm super excited about that.
The Hitmen of May 4, 5, 6 - that's right I got hit on three days in a row.
4 - I was on an exchange and we walked up to this old guy and gave him a picture of Jesus Christ. He then continued to talk to us and tell us his life story. Then he asked if there were beautiful women at church like us because he was looking to find a wife. He then told us that he would ask us out but doesn't want to rob the cradle.
5- Knocking doors, this guy answered and invited us in and we told him we couldn't go in because there wasn't a woman home and he told us how his friend really needed a prayer though. So he yelled at his friend to come to the door because these girls were there to pray. Well after the prayer they asked us where the church was because the friend needed to find a pretty wife like us.
6- We had to take our car into Firestone and while we were waiting for it this middle aged guy sat down next to us and started telling us how he works for the FBI solving cold cases. He then proceeded to ask us out for a glass of wine that night and we explained that we don't drink alcohol. So he proceeded to ask us out for drinks and dinner. Then he changed his tactic to taking us next door for pedicures while we waited for our cars to be done. At that point our car was finished and we booked it out of there.
*Note: missionaries get hit on all the time and it seems like we just find the craziest of people. Like they are somehow drawn to us. Well I thought it was super funny and definitely a funny story to tell.
May 7: We actually got to visit a recent convert we've been trying to meet up with weeks. She was actually there for her appointment and so that was an amazing miracle. I'm excited to actually work with her and help her to become more active as well as teach her good friend.
May 8: I GOT TO SKYPE MY FAMILY!!! Also got to speak in church but really the family skype is more important. Really funny moment, at our meal appointment they decided to guess our first names and mine was really hard for them their favorite guess was Karen and Kendra but they also guessed things like Kelp and Key Lime (which turned into Key Lime Pie)
Supper good week! Loving life and Loving the Lord!
Love ya,
Sister Jennings

At the gospel class on Wednesday. The Relief Society room is always cold and there is no way to fix it so they have a basket of blankets that I definitely take advantage of. I never thought I'd be cold on my mission but man they crank the A/C here :D"
