Birmingham, Alabama
WASSSUPPP FAMILY?! How are y'all? I've been fixin' on my southern slang! hahaha!!! Not really. I don't talk like them yet but soon enough I'm hoping... ha! So this week was super super super super GOOD!!!! Filled with "Emmaus Experiences!" That is the term we use for Miracles here in the ABM. ha!
So this week we had just finished service at "La Pasteleria," (The Bakery that the Branch President owns) and we went to a nearby trailer park where we have a few investigators. So we have an investigator named Irma who we hadn't seen in a few weeks, and it seemed like she wasn't super interested. So we decided "Oh what the heck, lets give it one last shot." So we walked over to her front door where the sun is beating down on us, and realized the door was open.... so awkward.... ha! So we knocked and then the door swung shut, and then back open as someone passed by. We were just like, uhhhhhh???? "What do we do? Just let them be?" So we decided to wait a few seconds and then Irma came to the door! She just lit up the second she saw our faces! She said that she had been super super busy, but that she had been waiting for us to come back while she was home. She then invited us in, and we shared a little short message with her and her 4 kids. They loved it! After the message Irma said, "Hey I want to find out more about your church, and I'm really interested in it. When are your church services so we can come?" Elder Krupa and I just freaked out! It was so exciting! Then they invited us to come to their son's Flag Football game on Saturday morning. We went and had a blast. It was super fun and we had some good discussions with them! (Shootout to Mom and Dad for going to all these little league/Jr. Jazz/Flag Football games with all of us Hooligans!) They weren't able to come to church yesterday but they said that they would be there next week to check it out. They have one of the greatest families I've ever met!
This week also... Our Branch President took us to the Legendary Restaurant "Mugshots!" Dad... You're gonna die at this... ha! He took us there to try the Legendary Mugshots Challenge. It includes a 3.5 lb. Burger with Onion Rings and fried pickles on top, with a added 1 lb. of fries... You have to eat it all in 12 minutes and the meal is free. So... All 4 Elders in the Lorna Branch took this challenge. But we do have sad news... We all lost.... THE THING IS MASSIVE! I'll send pictures. The pictures still don't do it justice.... But Wow. I have a new respect for the guy on "Man Vs. Food."
Well that's about it for the week. It was super super super good! Love you All! I hope you are all doing well! You're all in my prayers!
