Wow! This week has been our most semi normal week of this whole transfer! Haha ok so I on Tuesday we get a text from the APs asking if we have time to do a language study with two guys from SLC so we told them that we had time. The guys were super nice, but oh my goodness. I have learned how to just embrace the awkward. They literally sat in front of us and watched us study and they had their lap tops and were taking notes on everything that we did..it was so weird! They got into Willits a little bit early and so they asked if they could watch us do 12 week as well. It was crazy! They were actually in our mission for a reason though..not just to watch us study :) They came because they are "testing" out a new pamphlet. It is going to be a follow up pamphlet for our less actives, investigators and recent converts. They had a little meeting with my ZLs, DL and me and my comp to hear our feedback about the new pamphlet like what they could improve on? What we liked about the pamphlets, etc. I am horrible with feedback! I just kinda sat there and listened to the conversation. It was really cool though to be a part of that meeting! I think they said that those new pamphlets are coming out in like December maybe? Super cool though!
Okay....we totally got harassed by this one lady this week. We were out tracting and this kid about 13 yrs old pokes his head out from the door neighboring from where we are at and I happened to see him so I said hi to him. We asked if we could give him a card, he was super cute! Then we hear this lady's voice coming from behind the door and she was like, "whose talking to my boy that is under the age of 18 without my permission?" the little boy told her that we were Jehovah Witnesses and I was like "No we are from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints" the mom started yelling stuff like "We aren't interested! Get out of here!" but then her husband came to the door and was like "I love Jesus, what do you have to say?" Oh my goodness. It was crazy. Her husband got all mad when he heard that we actually went to church and he was like " Ms. Do you want to know why I dont like your church!?" I was like "No I dont" and then we left. Well once the lady heard we were leaving she came and stood on her porch and was screaming at us and telling us to leave her town and that we were strangers to her town. This continued for like ten minutes. We kept going door to door and everytime a person wasnt home she would laugh at us. Well the worst part was we had to turn around and go back to our car, which was on the other side of her apartment. So she follows us for a good five minutes. I was a little scared! We were in a sketchy place of town too, so everyone else we were around were on something (if you know what I mean). But we made it out alive! It was crazy! Some people!
Friday we finally received transfer doctrine! I am leaving Willits!!!! :( I am so sad, but I was expecting it. I am going to San Rafael!! I am so excited! The golden gate bridge is in my area! The only thing is that I am in another zebra. So..we will see how that goes. I am so excited! I get to do exchanges in Novato! I get to be in my old area again!! I am going from Willits to San Rafael...HUGE difference! Haha but it will be good! So that is weird mom that you will be in Oakland. I will be like 30 minutes away! So weird. We will be neighbors for a couple of days :)
Anyways sounds like a lot is going on for you guys! That will be fun to have the Sorensons over for two weeks...they are family anyways :) but I am really sad about their house :( I dont want them to move!! They will still be in Eagar, right?
Ok you all have a great week! I love you! Thanks for your love and support!
Love, Hermana Hamblin
