HEYYY! Another fast week on the mission!
SO we contacted a nice guy on the street the other day and out of now where a group of people formed around me and they all genuinely wanted to hear us preach the word hahaha So I straight up pulled out some fire book of Mormon verses and they liked it hahaha!
Now we have some person that found where we live and she has come and knocked on the door a couple of times. Because there are no police here we came up with our own solution...we have a little window on our door so we put AT LEAST 20 pictures of Jesus hahaha! THEY NEVER KNOCKED AGAIN hahaha!
Then I had MORE BAD LUCK hahaha! I was walking down the street and then all of a sudden blood splattered ALL OVER ME!!! I was so confused until I looked up and saw that a little bird on a powerline that was dying. So I had the greatest honor to clean bird blood off of my shirt that afternoon haha My tide to go stick has never been so useful!!
Then we were on our way home one night and a guy who is a little slow saw us walking. He started to follow us and I noticed it super quick so I told my comp we had to take a different path home. So we turned a different corner and started to walk faster and he did the same!! So I told my comp we had to book it. SO we SPRINTED down the street until we lost him and we hid on some random door step. Then my comp peed her pants cause she got so scared hahaha! So we were stuck on the door step and I knew he was for sure gonna catch up soon so I had to drag my peeing comp off the door step to book it up to our house without the guy seeing!!! hahaha! We ended up making it! Who knows what happened with the guy following us but we've been keeping our eye out the past couple of days!
Well these past couple of days I have been reflecting a lot. I have seen on my mission that it is possible to have no physical possessions, but at the same time feel like you have everything. Most of the people here have nothing. The use the same shirt everyday, a family of 5 lives in a one room house, they dont have food or drink, or they have dirt floors. But they are 100% happy. How is it possible that the people without anything are happier than the people who have everything?? The people that dont have worldly possessions usually are quicker understand in whom they trust. They know that if they have faith and keep the commandments their heavenly father will take care of them, and really thats all they need. I stand in awe everyday to see the testimonies of the people here. May we have eyes to see the things we could change to be happier with less.
Con amor,
Hermana Salisbury
