(Sister Neilsen gave me official Texan permission to say y'all even though I'm Utahn)
Some people have asked me what poutine is from my email last week so I'll explain. Poutine is French fries, gravy, and cheese curds... basically a heart attack. But so so good.
Anyways, I hope yall got to watch General Conference! If not (or if you don't know what it is), go check it out of churchofjesuschrist.org! It was so amazing! But when is it not amazing?
This week we had miracles! So Sister Daku and I were going to visit a member but we decided to knock all the doors on their street. We started knocking and asking people if we could sing them a song about Christ since Easter is this month. Up until then, 100% of the people we offered to sing to this transfer had said no, but this time 3 people said yes! The first dude wasn't really interested in church but he said we could sing just because he wants to have an open mind. The next man said no to us singing at first, but after a few minutes of us talking to him he changed his mind and let us sing! We sang I Know That My Redeemer Lives and he started to cry! We asked if we could come by again and he said we could the first week of May because he's going to Tennessee for a few weeks to visit his mom. The last lady that said yes was SO COOL! It was a really rainy day so after we sang, she let us into her house and we talked with her for 30 minutes! I remember me and Sister Daku looking at each other in complete shock when she let us in because this never happens!
Her name Alejandra and she had just barely gotten home from a Discipleship Training at her church when we knocked at the door. She had so many questions about what we do as missionaries and how we deal with rejection and stuff because she has a huge desire to share her faith with others. Then we found out that her husband, Michael, has a daughter that is a member of our church and lives in Utah! So Alejandra invited us to come back on Tuesday to come teach her and Michael more about our church! It was so crazy! Music softens hearts, my friends.
So many funny stories from this week but here's the most embarassing-
We had lunch at this woman's house and she's Fijian/Indian. We were eating and she was cooking more food and we didn't have any utensils so I look at Sister Daku and she shrugs and says "It's cultural" so we just start eating with our hands. The woman walks back to us and looks at me and starts laughing and says, "I was going to get you forks, do you want a fork?" Aghhh I was so embarrassed. Sister Daku thought it was pretty funny though.
I love you all! Remember that Christ knows you and knows exactly what you're going through! He also knows what is best for you so trust in His plan and in His timing. Be patient and stay focused on His gospel and everything will turn out better than you could have imagined.
Love, Sister Rigby
