Hey everyone! :)
Hows SPRING BREAK?! Spring sounds like it would be nice...
Actually! It is nice here today! But its supposed to be cold again tomorrow and Wednesday :( It cant last.. :)
"North country surfing!"
Thats fun that Brad, JT, Andrea, and Drew are in Santa Cruz!!! That sounds like so much fun!!
OK, so I have to tell you about our day a few days ago! It was so good......
So it all started when a member got mad at us and canceled our dinner appointment with her.. why she was mad at us, I couldn't tell you. But our backup was to go tract North street. So we walk over there, knock on the first door, a teenage girl answers, she is super hilarious and has crazy ADD, like seri- Squirell -ously...We ended up talking to her for about a half hour though and she is super awesome and totally interested! She is going to get baptized! :) but so we talked to her for a while, and then as we were walking down her front walkway a car crashes about 12 feet in front of us (getting in a car crash right in front on the missionaries... coincidence? i think not!) So we go and talk to the lady that just crashed. She was a little frazzled and we were able to calm her down and we talked to her for a while as she waited for the tow to come, and she was super nice and sweet, but doesn't live in our area so she wont be ours to teach. But its ok.
Good news! Erin is FINALLY doing good again!!! So I'll recap a little on her story because I haven't really told you all much. But she randomly ended up here in Potsdam and had no place to live, the only person she knew was a recent convert and so he told our branch president and she ended up moving in with an older couple in the branch. It was good for the first few weeks and we had some solid lessons with her, but then the people she was living with were getting really pushy about her joining the church and were shoving deep doctrine down her throat- it was bad. Then she moved in with another member who was complete opposite, smokes, drinks, and ended up being really bad towards Erin. This lady was not even letting us meet with Erin and called our mission president and told him that Sis Lang and I were horrible people (so ridiculous). And so it was just drama and we were staying out of it. But then, Yesterday, the sister Erin was living with freaked out on her again while she was on the phone with a different member of the branch, and the member heard and said pack your stuff i'm coming to get you. So Erin ended up moving in with the Akins last night who are so solid, so awesome, and so normal. Three things that Erin needs right now. And so yesterday we had a lesson with her and it was SO SOLID! :) So exciting! She is doing so much better! :)
"A Nice North country park."
This week we were trying to find a potential and almost went to Canada on accident.That was cool. #northcountry
Joke of the week: (I came up with while tracting)
Knock Knock
Who's there?
Interupting Potential..
Interupting -"No thanks, all set, bye now"
^^ literally every door. All set? what does that even mean? we aren't selling insurance if that's what they're thinking.
Ok so Friday night, I had a dream that I was supposed to give a talk in sacrament meeting and I totally forgot then when I got to church my name was in the program. When I woke up I thought it was Sunday but it was Saturday and i was so weirded out. Then Saturday night, I had a dream that I went to church and a bunch of people didn't show up so the branch president came up to me and asked me to give a talk. Then they asked me to play the piano because i was the best one at piano there and they were songs i had never heard. Then... Sunday I woke up and was like what? And since it was two nights in a row I decided it might be smart to prepare a talk. So i did during study just in case. Then we got to church and the branch president asked one of the Elders to give a talk on the spot and i was like phew! Then one of the sisters came up to me and was panicking because they didn't have a pianist and I looked at the songs and was like "I'll try" even though i had never played them before. Then right as the meeting was starting the pianist showed up and so i was off the hook for both. But I was prepared. So funny. :)
Ok, so this letter is pretty long so I will end it now. Just so many stories this week :)
I love you all and hope you have a great week!
-Sister Davis :)
