Sister loo and I have progressed from story time to free-styling it as we walk. it's a party to say the least. and, just in case you were getting worried, it totes helps us OYM people because we're just laughing and smiling all the time!!!!
Our zone leader told us today that every time he talks to us he just gets more confused because our english is hard to understand....... he's american.
anyway! cool story: sister loo and her comp before i got here tracted into a less active one day and she's come to church every week since they met her (5 weeks in a row now!)! don't worry the story continues. she is super mahiya (shy) and always brings random people to church with her so she doesn't have to go by herself (she's 18) so we have been trying to help her feel more comfortable at church and whatnot. anyway this week she came out and worked with us for a whole day! she was such a champ! cuz it was raining and none of us had umbrellas and she was with us from like 12:30-8:30 and walked allll over the place! it was awesome! and then on sunday she came to church all by herself even though it was raining! She's legit.
Cool story number two. yesterday we got done with church at like 5:30 and we still had to knock 4 doors to meet our nova project goals. so we took some time to knock a random street.
1st door chatted with us a bit and ultimately said she would never let us in because her dogs are scary.... lame.
2nd door didn't even bother to come outside just yelled through the screen that she's busy, next time na lang..... also lame.
door three!!! tao po this random house and the lady is like umm why are you here? and we're like for you! and she's like umm what do you want? and we're like umm to talk to you! how's life! and she was like umm im alive! and then they told us to come in! so we did! and when we got there we were pretty much forcing a conversation with one lady whilst errybody else was watching tv and the dad was at the comp in the adjoining room. then! we just kept talking to the dad and he was like oh hey i have your bible! and he pulls out a book of mormon (sweet) and leaves his comp to come talk to us. then slowly the family gathers... then the dad turns off the tv..... then we talk about everything!!! it was great. we were there for like an hour and set a return apt.
life is good! sister loo and i have way too much fun! she's teaching me how to hula and i'm teaching her how to juggle a soccer ball.... bummer for her cuz im not actually good at juggling... basta. good enough i guess.
we went on splits with the sister training leaders and i worked with sister nunez (filippina) and she was like umm doesn't it annoy you that everyone stares all the time??? and i was like i just thought that was normal..... sometimes we forget that we stand out like an..... american thumb.
that's life!
