Thank you so much for all the good advice and ideas on how to contact people. We went tracting on Sunday and found two new investigators. Tracting is much easier than contacting, they are already there and we don't have to try and stop them to talk to us. They will tell you within a few seconds if they're interested or not. Sister Smith wants to pick a word like rainbows that we have to insert somewhere in conversations to make us think harder. I think plenty hard, I don't need to add something else to my worries. The little stinker is going home in 15 days and wants to try everything she hasn't so far. Friday night we're going to Lake Ella and "Sing Tracting" which is when we walk around singing hymns and passing out pass along cards. She is making me spread my wings a bit, if I didn't love her I'd hate her.
Yesterday we went contacting at the mall again, it is so much easier to talk to the sales people than the customers, customers can get away, sales people are stuck. I got a coloring book for when we have 5 minutes of down time, I'm very excited. I also got a FSU shirt for only $10. I was proud of my savvy shopping skills. All 3 of us bought the same shirt, how cute are we? We had a BBQ later for investigators, I learned how to play chess - sort of - I can think two moves ahead, after that I get lost and confused. Ashad was patient with my mistakes. Ashad is from Iran, he's been in the US just over a year and speaks great English. He brings his dates to activities with the missionaries, we are teaching three of his past dates. He's not really interested in joining the church because of family traditions, but he wants his girlfriends to be Mormon. I'll take what I can get. We had a good long conversation with Elder Call - he is very genuine and a good guy. Elder Call told us that other day that he thought all Sisters were Elder seducing distractions, but he thinks that we're "Freaking "A" Missionaries".
These three freaking A missionaries have two lessons today, assuming that they don't cancel on us, but keeping faith, all will be well.
Are you still going to send me that DVD of Whitney singing? I can only watch it on P-day, but I'd still like it.
Sister Summerhays says I need a multi-vitamin since my companions are dying. She doesn't know that my body repeals illness.
Anyway, I love you all very much, thank you for all the love and support. Dad thanks for all the great advice, I'm printing it out so I can study it more. Taylor, have a great summer and enjoy the library, it's a peaceful place. Which cemetery in SLC did you go to? The one up by the U is amazing, it has huge monuments, made of all kinds of stone - I think it's the Mount of Olives Cemetery, if you're going to go look at graves that's the place to look. I haven't had time to really wander any cemetery's here, but I walked by two, someday I'll have to go check it out.
Church is true, book is blue, write Kelli letters and have a nice day. Sister Kelli Wilcox
