A letter of advice from a wised-up missionary:
- If you pass a drunk man in the street, resist the urge to drunk-tip him. Also DO NOT contact him. He might chase you down a dark street to show you the tattoo of a cross on his face and scare the wits out of your companion.
- If you are adventuring in the unexplored territory of your area, make sure the disgruntled lady you contact knows you are missionaries from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. You may just find yourself on the neighborhood Crime Watch as "two girls with long hair in dresses talking about Jesus."
- If you decide to do service at the local Restore, ALWAYS get Mexican food from the taco truck. Always a good idea. Yes. Just do it.
- When your district leader turns a delicate shade of green right in the middle of district meeting, don't try to catch him (remember, white handbook). Just yell at someone to grab a chair and try not to faint yourself. (Tip: it's always nice to have the mission nurse in your district).
- When you fry some bacon for your companion, make sure to turn the heat down and remind her to watch it before you get in the shower. You may step out of said shower to a hazy apartment, a disabled smoke detector, and a irritated companion.
Haha so yeah, it's been a WEEK, lemme tell ya! The wonderful things that happened was we had an amazing lesson with our professor and he came to sacrament meeting!! Also, our little Russian girl is getting baptized next month! Something I've been studying lately is JOY! One of Satan's best tools is keeping us in a state of unhappiness. We have joy when we understand how merciful, loving, and powerful God is. Remember, you can do anything if you're happy. Satan's got no chance:)
Love you,
Sister Johns
