Honk if you want to be happy, pull over if you want to know how!:)
So this week consisted of A LOT of tracting. We have people to teach but need more. So we spend the more part of our days finding. This is great because you get to talk to so many people and can try so many different approaches an idea which is a great way to learn new awesome skills. But it can also get very boring and repetative. So one day we were thinking of new things to try to find people because truthfully knocking on doors is not very productive. So sister curries like, "Okay here is what we're going to do. We are going to make a sign that says, 'HONK IF YOU WANT TO BE HAPPY, PULL OVER IT YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW!' and then go and stand on a street corner!" haha I almost died laughing. Can you imagine two young girls holding a pink sign on the street telling them to pull over to be happy. I would probably laugh at them. So we vetoed that idea and decided to try to talk to people more at parks and just street contact.

Talking about street contacting.... we were getting out of the car one day to head into our apartment when we saw a man sitting on the side walk facing a bush and talking. Any normal person would have a red flag pop up instantly but not us missionaries. We get super excited because then its harder for them to run away. So we cross the street not knowing what we are about to walk into! When we get to the other side we see what he is talking to..... it was a SKUNK. seriously. This man was sitting on the side walk talking to a skunk. Granted it was a baby skunk and it looked like it was dying or something but he was sitting there talking to it. Haha greatest experience ever. 

So natually we don't let this stop us and we start talking to him. We had a nice little chat and he told us about these prayer necklaces that he is making with his indian godmother. He was a bit crazy but that is totally normal for the people here! But then as he was walking away an other lady walked our way! and she was the one we were suppose to talk to. Her name is Wanda and she was AMAZING. She asked us where we get such long skirt. She looks so hard because she hates how you can only get short skirt in the mall. She pretty much told us what we tell other people about modesty. Then she said that she loves our church and has been to our services before. She loved the feeling that she got and how nice everyone was. We sat and talked to her for 15 min and it was amazing. Sadly she is going to be gone for like a month, but she gave us her number so we could call her and set something up when she gets home.

I think its so interesting what people will tell you when they feel the spirit. I mean just think about this with me for a min. Some random person comes up and starts talking to you. You talk for like 10-15 min and then they ask for your address and/or phone number AND YOU GIVE IT TO THEM. What an amazing thing the spirit is. Sometimes we have such a limited view of our connection to heaven. But when we do man it is powerful!

I'm out of time but here are two quotes that I liked this week...

"THE SPIRIT WILL DRAW UPON THE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS YOU HAVE DEVELOPED TO HELP YOU TEACH WITH MORE POWER." 

"IT WILL ALL BE OKAY IN THE END. AND IF ITS NOT OKAY THEN IT'S NOT THE END."

in the end our family, faith, and love of our savior is all that matters. Those are the things that should be the focus and the top of our list. Nothing else really matters!

I love you all! keep on keeping on!

Love Sister Draney
