Sometimes we don't want to
write letters home. Sometimes we just like to read letters and then not
have to worry about responding haha(: But we still write because we love
you! So mom...dad...I just love you. And that is why I am writing this
letter today haha(:
This week was complicated...
Our
investigator from England came. (: We got to spend 2 days with her! Ah!
The dream of any Temple Square missionary! We met up
on Friday
afternoon and took her to the Conference Center and Beehive House. We
also took her to the mission offices and she met President Poulsen! He
had us come in his office and we all sat around and chatted for a while.
He's so awesome. (: After which we ate dinner with her, which was fun.
We went to the mall across the street but then took our food to what we
call "the celestial vending" in the bottom floor of the Church Office
Building. It was closed but since she was with us we were allowed to
take her in through the tunnels. We then took her to the teaching
centre's with us and she watched us take chats and phone calls, which
she was completely curious about! I let her look in my area book and
read all my records I put in about her hahaha! She enjoyed reading that a
lot.
On Saturday morning we met up again at
9 am and showed her around the North Visitor's Centre. At
10AM
our investigator from Provo came up and we all met up and watched Meet
the Mormons in the largest theatre we have. Yes. Yes we used our largest
theatre for the 4 of us...it was awesome. Then she went with us to our 3
hour shift in Guest Services haha! I let her get on my familysearch
account and look around on what that was like, which she seemed
entertained by! She even found herself! Haha(: We talked a lot. Well, we
always talk a lot even when she's not here but ya know. Then I brought
her to Sister Mathias' District Meeting! (My companion and I split up
each week and attend different district meetings.) So she went with me
and sat in and experience the ever-so-exciting district meeting of a
missionary! Of course, all the sisters were just awestruck by the fact
that she was an investigator from the other side of the world who was
really visiting us! They all adored her accent as well.
[Random
side note: it's interesting how there isn't just one British accent. As a
child I always just assumed there was one but our investigators accent
is completely different from Sister Mathias', and Sister Mathias' accent
is very different from other sisters here and other people I know. Just
shows you how cultured I was as a little child...#merica]
We
then ate dinner and showed her the rest of the buildings on Temple
Square. The Assembly Hall was closed for some reason but we decided it
would be ridiculous if she came all this way and didn't see every
building!!! So we took her in through the tunnels. #shh... But there was
nothing going on in there anyways so...don't judge us! #yolo THEN! Alan
(you'll remember he was baptized 6 months ago and is now married to a
member and they attend BYU?) came up with his wife and a friend and we
all met up to go to Saviour of the World! We originally were not going
to sit in the show with them but circumstances worked out that we could
and we were SO HAPPY! Not only that, but we went in and the theatre was
packed but, you know me, determined to have the best seat for our
investigator I walked down to the front where the special reserved seats
are and asked the host if it would be possible for our group to sit
there. I was about to tell him we had a non-member in the group (I know I
know I'm aweful) but he ran to the other host and then came back and
said YES!!! So, no joke, we literally had the best seats in the house!
Heavenly Father loves our investigator. (: Yes He does!!! After the show
we had to say our goodbye's and she left with Alan and Mikah (they gave
her a ride back to her hotel).
