LIL OL ME hangin' in DC: Wise Words: Be Someone's Example and Not Their Excuse

Our darling neighbors!!

Time is FLYING. This week was a blur so I'll just give you the cliff notes version of it. We set off 3 house alarms (I testify of my last 2 emails, still look like a criminal), accidentally attended a stake dance (for sure almost had a lesson with the Jackson 5 playing in the background, there could be worse things tho can I get an amen) and had a man ask us if it was 8 am or 8 pm. I'll be straight-up honest with you, I had to think about it for a minute.

I love my mission. I also love MJ.

Speaking of Michaels, we met the coolest guy this week!! As we were walking to our friends house we saw a man walk out of the bushes. So after we were done being confused why he was in the bushes in the first place, we went up and started a conversation with him. He told us that he went to seminary his whole senior year and the missionaries would come over every couple of weeks!!! How random is that!!! We felt prompted to ask him if the missionaries had ever talked to him about baptism and he was like, "Nope." I said, "Would you ever want to be baptized?" and he said, "Ya, for sure!" SO in conclusion: follow the spirit and if you see a man walking out of a bush ask him if he wants to be baptized. Odds are in your favor.

Also here are some things I'm grateful for cuz tis the season:

1. The sacrament

2. BEING A MISSIONARY!!!

3. This poem

People are watching and that is a fact,

Others will follow the way that you act,

So make this your motto and put it to use,

Be someone's example and not their excuse. :)

Love,

Sister Mod
