Sister Margaret Plothow: Past The 1-Year Mark

Yes, I am passed my one year mark, I am very old in the mission language. The last 6 months is going to fly by.

This week had a lot of ups and some downs. Our wonderful investigator family passed their baptismal interviews and will be baptized this Saturday at 8 pm. YAY!!! Our District Leader was so impressed by how amazing this family is. I can honestly say that they are the most prepared family for baptism than every single other person that I have taught. Its because they act. They read, pray, go to church and they do it all with the right heart. We had an appointment with the bishop and he was awesome as always.

Throughout Sunday, nobody wanted to talk to us..and it was a little comical, but almost everybody who we talked to told us that they would let us in, but their husband doesn´t like religion and would get mad. And a man argued with us for some time how not everybody are sons of God. He was not making sense. And the top this great day with a huge red cherry, our recent convert called us (we had an appointment her her at 7 because her husband was leaving at 5) and she told us that she could not meet with us.

We will just keep fasting and praying a LOT!! But my comp and I get along really well and I love life, and I feel at peace with everything, I know everything will work out ok.

One day, we had a hard day, a lot of people got rid of us. We were sitting in our last appointment, and we were trying to pray, but both my companion and I got the giggles (its better to laugh than to cry right?) We couldn´t pray because we had the giggles so bad. The lady was looking at us like ¨what is your problem?¨ We controlled ourselves began, and she began to tell us why she will never ever go back to church because somebody offended her.
