amish market!!!

April 19, 2012

So today we went to the Amish market. Everything there is homemade and looks/smells/tastes delicious! I had to try a chocolate covered bacon, it was okay but it's nothing I would bend over backwards to buy again. I also bought a carmel/chocolate covered apple, oh boy I can't wait to try it! I was so excited to buy it. There was a guy behind me in line who saw that I was a missionary and bought those sweets from heaven for me. He was so nice. Also he was probably a member, but I don't really know, either way he was so nice!
Well... Awesome news. The Mfogmi family told us that they were going to start coming to church every week. That floored us, we were shocked and excited. The fifteen year old brother, Prince, told us that his mom had a dream that God told her that the Mormon church was the right church. People really do have dreams. So get this, that morning my companions and I had been joking around about people having dreams, not being serious at all. Well, now we won't be joking around about that anymore. They didn't come to church on Sunday though, but Prince told us that something came up and that they'd be there this week.

We went to a dinner apointment yesterday and there was a random person sitting on their couch. Come to find out her name is Ashley, she was locked out of her apt. The Graff's (members we ate with) had never met her before and are, by the way, some of the best people ever. They invited her in to wait, then to eat with us all. She listened to our spiritual thought and told us how she felt about Christ. Oh, Heavenly Father wants her in His church so bad! We couldn't make a returning apointment with her, it wasn't good timing and it just didn't work out. But, we gave her a Book of Mormon and invited her to church. Sister Graff will definately be working with this one. She's great - both sister Graff and Ashley.
So, moral of the story, pray for a missionary opportunity and one might unexpectantly come over for dinner with the missionaries. It's SO cool!


 We helped get a guy to come talk about the pass over to the relief society. We knew it was bad when we called to remind him the day before and he told us to call him 2 hours before. He's a jew so we thought it might be good... yeah, he got caught in traffic and couldn't come... but aparently it all worked out okay. We did splits and sister Lewis stayed at the Relief Society acitvity with the ward and some senior sisters while sister Fehlman and I taught a less active and Rose, aparently it all worked out. Our other baptism dates have been extended because of scheduels being busy, so we'll see what happens with them.
Well I love you all and have a great week!
Love, Sister Wankier
