We don't care, we're missionaries


What we generally have to say in those moments which usually happen every day where you feel creepy or awkward with some stranger on the street.. I feel like a stalker sometimes.. SO we have been into just hashtagging everything because hashtags are just so much better as a missionary

Yeah, this is what peps us up on those days where everyone and their dog says no... AND THEN this amazing thought popped into my head. I love my mission, really love it. Part of me will always be stuck here, but eventually i will want to go home. So as Sorella Burt and i were talking last night it dawned on me that just everyone in the world is on a 'mission' and they all want to make it home in the end too. That home where there is family, love, and just you feel comfortable. Whether they know they want to go home or not, we all will need to get there in the end. So here comes the birlliance

That is the goal in mind. I know that i would like to be with my family again.. Yes, here after my mission, but more importantly for the rest of forevers.. and that is just what everyone else wants as well and its our job to get them on the right track. We keep finding these little miracles. We have found a less active who has lived here for two years and has never found the church and she has come all these past weeks! She has two sons who are old enough to be baptized. We have investigators who are just so close to that waters edge! And others who have been investigating for years.. Like this one family. We were in a lesson with them this past week and the impression came to my head to pull out the good old Testament because they are hard core bible believers. So our good friend the Prophet Ezikeil (how do you spell him) helped us give confermation of the divinity of the BOM. At the end of the lesson she just looked at us and said 'i finally have learned something.. i finally understand.' We walked away with them saying they know the BOM is true now from one verse in the bible and that Jospeh Smith was called to be a prophet!!!...AMAZING!. Lesson i learned, never ignore the Spirit when using the scriptures.. The word of God will never fail us. Well friends, good week, good times. It is never easy, but its still the best time of my life. Love you all! Have a great week. 
Love Sorella Woods
