November 10, 2014: Inviting

I hope you are all doing well! Things here in Surrey have been pretty good! Me and SIster McKee have been working hard!
 
Last Monday we met wih our investigator Martha again. The first time we met her she was pretty drunk... But she still rememebered she wanted to be baptized so that was good! So we just went over the Word of Wisdom again. Then on Saturday I was on exchanges and we randomly ran into her! So I confirmed if it was okay if we still came and taught her that night. But when we can knocking at her door she basically dropped us. So that was kind of a bummer but she just needs to be ready to make those changes in her life and she feels like she is not quite that ready to make such big changes in her life. But I do have hope that one day she will be! :)
 
We have been doing a lot more finding, or now in our mission we are calling it "inviting", and it is always such a wild time talking to people on the streets! This one lady said she doesn't believe in God but she talks to crows and that brings her happiness in life! Who needs God when you have crows? Haha. :) We were also talking to people at a bus stop and this girl walks up to us and said " Aren't you going to preach to me?"... Which always scares me and little. But she was really nice and and she knew th Bible well adn quotes a scripture or something saying how woman should always wear shirts. And she was wearing a skirt so she basically just liked us because we were wearing skirts. :) Also the sweetest thing happened yesterday! I went up to talk to this old lady but she was completely deaf. So I made the sign of Jesus Chirst and gave her a Plan of Salcation pamphet and she was soooo thankful and it was so sweet and it basically gave me the best feeling ever! But we have also seen so many miricles as we have been "inviting" people! I can see that the Lord puts us in the path his wants us to be in! We also knocked on this apartment complex and it was gold!! So hopefully our appointments with the people we found will go well this week! But we truly are just instruments in His hands! We are nothing without His help! :)
 
Hope you are all doing well! Thank you for your love and support! Have a great week! Also if you wish to write me and send it directly to me. The address to my apartment is
