We met with this guy named Michael this week. He was referred to us by his friend that is on a mission in the Provo area. He's very interesting. He doesn't believe most of the things we are telling him but he's willing to read and pray. And he came to church yesterday! I think that he enjoyed it. So we are hoping that he will keep putting in that effort. Our second lesson with him we were able to get a member Sophia to come to the lesson with us and she was so helpful and was perfect for the lesson.
We've been teaching Lisa a lot and she's doing so well. She has so much faith and she is preparing so well for baptism.
On campus the other day, this guy came up to us and sat down and was trying to soft bash us. It was pretty funny. We shut him down pretty quick because we weren't about to bash with him.
On Thursday we had exchanges with the Athens 1st sisters! So Sister Witham came here with us and it was really fun! We had english classes while she was here and that was fun as always. I learn way more than the people honestly. English is hard.
On thursday we got to go to the temple! It was amazing. I love going to the temple. It's especially amazing being able to research my family and do their ordinances for them. That's one thing that I love about this mission is the emphasis on family history.
Let me just tell yall though that I'm glad I didn't have to drive to the temple. Atla ta traffic is so horrible. I would not have made it honestly.
We had a pretty good lesson with one of our friends named Dele. But he dropped us a couple days ago so oh well. It happens.
The Lee's from the 1st ward invited us to dinner on Friday and it was a lot of fun. They made super good tacos. I had a lot of them. And they made this chocolate fondue stuff with fruit to dip it in. So yummy.
Also, our zone is getting zone shirts so that's exciting.
The best part of the week was the game. Georgia played Arkansas state and they won big. The weather was a lot cooler so it was much more enjoyable. This may be hard for you to believe, but my favorite thing is street contacting. I love stopping people in the street and talking to them. At the games, we wait for the light to turn red and we go up to people's cars and give them free lemonade and a pass along card. It's so fun. Also, this radio station sets up across the street from us and gives out free Dr Pepper and I won a free t shirt from them. It was incredible.
Last Saturday, I burned the top of my mouth on some fried chicken, and it is still super burned. It hurts really bad to eat. So basically, dont get too excited about your chicken. Let it cool down first. That's my lesson for the day.
Something I've been thinking about this week is how satan gets to us. I was reading Alma 30 about Korihor and its interesting to see the parallels of the things he was saying and the things that are said today. It's the same. So as I read, I saw the ways that Alma was able to deal with Korihor and I've learned a lot from him about how to stay on the path and not let the devil get into our hearts. So I would invite yall to read that and look for those parallels and the things that you can to to resist the temptation.
Have a great week!
Sister Coleman
