Missionary Life


It's crazy how fast this past week has gone. I totally understand how they say that two years flies by. The days all blur together and they got by so fast and there is just so much to do, but it's so amazing and awesome!

On Saturday we had dinner at a members house. They live at the top of the tallest building in Wichita. The view was amazing! It looked out over the river and the trees were turning colors and the sun was setting and it was the most beautiful thing ever. However, from that experience I have learned the Kansas is REALLLLLLY flat. When I'm in the city I don't really realize it but once you get above the trees and the buildings you see how flat it really is. I felt like Mufasa and Simba "As far as the sun reaches is your kingdom" I know I just butchered that line, but its something like that.

So last night we got a text from an investigator that has been meeting with the missionaries for about four months now. The text said "My wife and I decided that we can join the church. Can we talk tomorrow?" My companion and I were freaking out and we were at dinner at a members house and they were all excited. So we texted them back "That's great! When?" and then it all went down hill from there. He responds "whoops, sorry I meant can't not can lol" WHAT?!??!!? we were so bummed. We had gotten so excited and happy only to have our dreams crushed. But I guess if nothing else at least we planted a really good seed and in the future they can know that it's true.

Life as a missionary is great and I'm loving every minute!

Love you all!
