Dear Family,
The exciting event of this week is when the Mission President's wife, Sister Taggart, decided to hang out with us for a whole day! On this eventful day we:
~organized men's boxers
~put sketchy clothes into sketchy bags in a sketchy basement
~got juked three times
~taught both of our recent converts (she just loved them)
~got on GOOGLE to search for services opportunities! I haven't been on Google for ever but when Sister Taggart is with you you can do anything! Weeeee look at me goooooo
~Tracted in the richest neighborhood in Short Hills (and Short Hills, I have heard, is the richest town in America. Whether that is true is debatable, but I think it illustrates Short Hills pretty well). This is the story of this memorable tracting experience
*Driving through Short Hills*
S. Taggart: These houses are beautiful!
S. Jarman: Yeah, they're super nice. As you might imagine we don't do much tracting around here.
S. Taggart: Well why not?!
*Pulls over and we get out*
S. Taggart: It will be fun just to see there living room.
So we knock on a few doors, one person says they want us to leave, another doesn't answer. But the third door an Indian man answered! He was Hindu and told us that God could be that rock if we wanted it to! (see subject) So we asked him to read the Book of Mormon after discussing who God really was and hopefully something great will come from that!
Overall it was fun and S. Taggart is crazy.
I also had my first exchange as an STL! Yay for me it was fun!
The other exciting event of the week occurred in church yesterday. A less-active of ours names Jose came to church, a 60-year-old man from La Ceiba, Honduras (GREAT place) and so I was very happy he came! So I sat next to him during Sacrament Meting.
After Sacrament Meeting Jose looked at me and said, "Hermana, I have to tell you something."
Me: "What?"
Jose: "I don't know if I feel very comfortable here."
Me: "Why not?"
Jose: "I was wondering if you would be my future wife."
Me: "Well...I don't know..."
Jose: "You don't have to decide right now. I can wait."
Me: *panicked because I think he came to church just because of me* "Do you even believe the church is true?"
Jose: "Of course I do! I believe--"
At this point God answered my prayers and Sister Jarman came up and started talking to us. Thank goodness for companions. After that I ran away with her to Relief Society.
Guess the elders get to teach him from now on. That's one less person we have to teach :/
Well, I love you all and I know the church is true! Remember to choose the right and know what you stand for!!
