I tried to get a good picture but it wasn't so great haha. Guess you guys will have to come see it for yourself sometime :)
Yesterday I had an appointment with the missionaries. I thought that it was just a normal appointment where they were going to talk to me about being a member missionary. But when I got to the institute where our appointment was, Bo was there. I mentioned Bo in a previous post. He is our friend that is investigating the gospel. I guess the missionaries forgot to mention that I was just there to sit in on Bo's lesson haha. It was actually super cool. I noticed that the missionaries asked questions more than they talked to him. Sometimes the best way to tech people is just to listen. People know the answers to things like whether God is real or whether he is listening, but it's hard for them to realize it until they have peace and people to point them in the right direction. Everything that Bo said was really insightful. I only spoke once when the missionaries asked me to share how the Holy Ghost has helped me to know that the gospel is true. That's a really sensitive subject for me so I had to try really hard to keep my voice calm and my eyes dry haha. I think I pulled it off though. I just don't know if what I said was helpful to Bo or not. Usually my problem isn't saying enough, but saying too much. Once I realized that the missionaries were maybe going to ask me to talk I said a little prayer and asked Heavenly Father if he would help me to not say anything that wasn't needed. I don't know if I was helpful or if Bo is any closer to accepting the gospel, but the Spirit was definitely there.
That night we played games with a few of the same people that we played the drinking game with. It was fun but I left at like 10 haha. Then Lela and I went to do the paper route with Rachel, Katie, and Jessica. I got to talk to Rachel a lot about going a mission and I really liked that. It was fun but I was sooooo tired! When we got back to Jessica's house to sleep I was completely gone within 2 seconds. I get to see you guys tonight :)
