This week was probably the most tiring week of my mission so far. With this new challenge from our mission president to talk to a million people this month we have been walking EVERYWHERE ALL DAY and talking to literally EVERYONE! It's been fun getting to know so many people and sharing my testimony! Sister Murphy and I talked to 467 people this week :) Our zone is in the lead with talking to over 2,000 people!!! As a whole mission we talked to 17,307. The work is hastening!!!
In Cardston this week was Heritage days so they had a free pancake breakfast Wednesday through Saturday and us missionaries were at every breakfast because the whole town was pretty much there!! I never thought it was possible to be sick of pancakes, but it definitely is hahah Friday night the RCMP came and do a musical ride for Cardston. Apparently they travel all over Canada performing and they have performed for the Queen before! Pretty cool to watch. Then Saturday morning was their annual Heritage parade. It was so much fun! Us missionaries got our own float! hahah we had this truck we decorated with signs and had some missionaries sitting in the back of the truck throwing candy and then the rest of us handed out LDS quotes with our numbers on the back to the crowd. It was so fun to hear everyone cheer for us! Only in Cardston would the whole town be happy to see missionaries!! hahah Other floats they had was a Native American one for the Kainia branch, a tarzan float (they just did the play of that), a monster truck, Mario and luigi, frozen, and so many more!
One day this week Sister Murphy and I decided to do some street contacting down on mainstreet. As we did this we ran into this guy, Gordon Moutainhorse (yes he's a native lol) and we talked a little bit about religion but then he started flirting with us and asked me if he could marry me and that he will support me and serve the Lord with me...! haha let's just say I try and avoid him now. :) hahah The weirdest things always seem to happen on mainstreet....!
I am loving this "Walk and Talk August" because we are getting so many referrals and I am excited to contact these people and hopefully start teaching them soon! I definitely love missionary work. :) I hope you all are being missionaries to everyone you meet. Have a great week! Love you all :)
Love,
