Stories from Ruth # 41


 
I really admire my companion Sister Lezano. She is very straightfoward and focused on her purpose to bring others to Christ.
This week we did a lot of finding and had a lot of fun with it.
We visited the wife of this recent convert. At the beginning of the week she texted us and asked if we could visit on Friday. She is not a member but she seems to like the church. She was very sweet and her baby is so cute!
Last pday we went to Witham to visit two members who served in Peru on their mission. Sister Gough was a convert who was dating this nonmember before deciding to go on a mission. Then she told him she was going and not to wait for her if he was not going to join the church. She got called ro a mission on Peru and he investigated the church, became converted, and got baptized. Later in life they went to a senior couple mission to Peru. They were wonderful examples and really sweet to both of us. They actually lived in the same area as my companion and even went to the same church building, but were in seperate wards. It was cool.

Oh my days. These Elders are hilarious.
Elder Soares:
"In english it is not funny." Elder Soares telling Jokes"My companion is not sociable"  

"Tomorrow we will see who is the princess. No we are not the princess we are the ch- cha- the thing that carries the princess." (We have a joke Sistsr Nunes and I always asked the elders when they were late which one of them was the princess, and these elders are always late)

Elder Smith:
"If it is not sugar or chocolate you won't like it elder"

When Sister Lezano asks for a joke he just gives us sexist ones like "Why are womens feet smaller than men? So they can get closer to the kitchen sink?"

Elder Schönemeier:
"I have to be in the zone call by 27 or else I am going to hell, quote elder brinkerhoff"
Lovingful

Then there is Elder Stern who buys £10 of taco bell.

It does sound like the Elders are a pair of characters for sure. I'm not sure I get some of their jokes.
I loved the story of the couple from Peru; a miracle kind of story. I loved the first experience too.
Always a fun read from your missionary!
Hugs for Ruth!
