23 August 2016

Hey everyone, 
This past week has been both good and hard at the same time. I've definitely gotten a teaste of missionary work and the toughest and the best aspects of it. We contact people and go tracting, get doors slammed in our face, and people give us dirty looks and walk away or entirely ignore us as if we weren't even human. We've had drunk people stop us as we're out walking. But drunk people here are very different. They won't hurt anyone, so we don't have to be afraid of them. But they will start talking to you and that's how you know they're drunk, because they'll initiate a conversation when normal people don't do that. We had a drunk guy say I was from the CIA because I was from America and because I was being really quiet, but of course that was only because I couldn't understand, nor say anything. So...that was an interesting experience. Haha. But there's always that side of missionary work.
The other end, we met with one of our investigators, (We'll call her Kristina) and we felt the spirit so strongly, and we just love her so much and we really hope and pray that she will have the desire to make those promises that will help her come closer to her Father in Heaven. We also met a man on the street while contacting. (We'll call him Allen) Right off the bat, he invited us over for lunch. So we went over and he made us some really yummy Pakistani food and we had a really good discussion. We brought the bishops wife along and she helped quite a bit with her testimony.
But anyway, it's been a pretty good week and I'm still getting used to missionary work, and the language is still coming along slowly. I'm slowly starting to be able to contribute more in our lessons and such. But anyway, it's been great either way. 
Hope all is well back home!
Glad to see something from the Tubbs family, and that mom and dad had their anniversary, and Colby and Melissa happy anniversary as well, and happy belated birthday to Logan!
Love you all, and miss you! 😘
