Hello everyone,
This week was cool, just a couple of stories I want to briefly tell you.
So last week I forgot to tell you guys that we had a dinner appointment with some members (the Blass family) and I've never met them before. So we get to their house and its just a mid 30 aged couple, Sister Blass was from Bulgaria, and Bro Blass was from Peru, they are a little awkward and talking to each other. So it was quiet at the beginning while we were waiting for dinner to be prepared. So after awkward silences I just asked if I could use there toilet, cause I was bored...I went up to the bathroom and I said a prayer to ask for help to show love for the couple and help us have a nice get to know each other dinner, and that we could relate to each other in some way. So after saying the prayer I went back down and sat down and we started eating. We started talking about random things and they finally asked me where I was from, I said Bountiful Utah. Bro and sis Blass said they lived in Salt lake for a few years. I asked them what they did for work, Sis blass was a nurse, bro blass was a builder, he built "big houses," he said. He said he worked on a couple of houses in Bountiful 3 years ago, ha! So get this...I asked him what company he worked for and he said " BURTON." I was thinking in my head that that sounds really familiar...so I just asked him "Is the guys name Mitch Burton?" He said "yes, I know him pretty well" ha ha! I was like "ummmmmm...I think you helped build my house...." Ha ha so I asked him to explain to me what the houses looked like and he said "Well there was one big house that was 2 houses with a basketball court and had the best view I've ever seen" etc. It was really funny. So I tried to be humble and just said "Yeah, that is my house :)" So we were all like wow wow wow! The conversation didn't end about how cool and funny it was that he was part of building our house. And then the conversation led to how the Burton company was bad and things, Bro blass told me about Mitch Burton's partner that no body liked, I forgot his name, I think it was mike or something, but yeah he went on telling me that he quit the Burton company because they weren't a very HONEST company and I went on and explained that dad chose another builder half way through the construction. So yeah, bro blass was a framer, he said he worked on our kitchens, the framing bit. So that was a really funny story, the church is such a small world.
Another experience was that I received a powerful blessing from my D leader who I live with, and all I can say is is that the church is so dang true. And the Priesthood power is God's power, and it works when we sanctify and prepare ourselves.
This week missionary work was a bit slow...We need to step up and just work our butts off. We have no teaching pool which is ridiculous. We are in flippin London, we should have baptized 2 families already.
Well I ove and miss you all so much! I cant wait to meet my new baby niece on skype this Sunday! If she's fully baked! ;)
I love you all!
Please keep me in your prayers :)
