This week we finally went to Tappahanock, AKA Narnia.
It is the furthest part of our area. It takes about an hour each way to drive,
and everything there is super spaced out (Adios, monthly miles... we already
have about 400 miles this month, and we only get 1200 for the whole month.
Looks like we'll be doing lots of walking/begging members for rides.), so we
were there for about 6 or 7 hours. First we were in the Elder's area, and we took
some beautiful pictures of some blossoms and went to a Mexican restaurant,
because that is always a good place to look for Hispanics. Plus, wonderful
food. Bonus!
Then we went to the English Sister's area, and they came with us to
an area where some Hispanics live, and we split up, my companion with Sister
Page, and me with Sister Robinson. Me and her are now best friends, we have a lot in common! The whole time we were tracting (Not a single door
opened on the whole street until the very last house, where we found them a new
investigator. Yay for tracting!). It was so exciting. When we met up again with
the other companionship again, they had found us a new investigator! Yay! I have never
met him yet, but apparently he is pretty cool. So yeah, it worked pretty well,
we each got a new investigator out of it. We'll probably do that again. But
first we need to get about 500 extra miles. Or get a member to come with us and
basically just spend the whole day with us. Hopefully.
Today we are going to have a zone pday and play oompa
loompa. I think I've explained that game before. But I am excited. This morning
for our exercise, we went to the church and met the other Sisters in our ward
there and practiced with the football I got especially for this game. Who even
knew I would ever have the desire to buy a football, but I have loved it and it
has helped me exercise! I also got a volleyball for $5 and that has been a lot
of fun. I love volleyball. Fun, fun! Hopefully I will rock it when we play
today! Haha just kidding there is no way. Mostly I just walk back and forth and
no one passes it to me. But occasionally I have had some really good moments.
But that is a story for another time.
Well, I love you all lots! I hope you have a lovely week!
Remember to share the Gospel with all the Hispanics you see!
Love,
Hermana Emily Pratt
