Funny tidbits:
-We knocked on the door at a former investigator's house and her two kids answered the door. She wasn't home and we asked if we could speak with her husband. One of the sons ran to get him. Then he came back and said, "Dad can't come to the door because he's going number two."
-Me: "We're missionaries from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, we
talk to people about God's plan for us and how we can be happy"
Random lady walking her dog: "Well, you can talk to somebody else."
-Someone at the library asked us, "So are women still not allowed in your temples?"
-Someone at the town hall asked us why we had short hair- "Aren't you not allowed to
cut your hair?"
-This is one of my favorite conversations. I called a former investigator, we'll say
his name is Bob:
Me: "Hi, is Bob there?"
Kid: "Who is this?"
Me: "It's the missionaries, he was expecting our call."
Kid: "Hang on, Dad?...Wait, who is this again?"
Me: "The sister missionaries."
Kid: "The WHO missionaries?"
Me: "The sister missionaries. He was expecting our call."
Kid: "Okay,Dad?...Um, he's sleeping right now."
Me: "When would be a better time to reach him?"
Kid: "How about tomorrow?"
Me: "Okay, what time tomorrow would be best to call?"
Kid: "Um, let's say between 2:00 and 1:50."
-I asked a family what music they wanted at the baptism and the 12-year-old son said, "Can we have 50 Cent?"
-We were running late to an appointment with Sue so we called her home
phone number to tell her we were on our way.
Sue: "Hello?"
Me: "Hi, is Sue there?"
Sue: "Speaking."
Me: "Hi, Sue, it's the sisters"
Sue: "I'm at work."
Me: "We had an appointment for 2:30"
Sue: "Yes, but I'm at work."
Me: "When can we reschedule?"
Sue: "Not for a month."
Me: "What day should we call you?"
Sue: "Call me next week."
I could write a novel about the funny things that happen out here.
We were blessed with a wonderful baptism this week but since my computer time is almost up I'll wait until next week to post the details.
Love you all,
Sister Monson
