BLOGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Highlights from the week:
-We had two sisters move in with us for the week while they get a new apartment. One of which is Sister Brown! We have finally been reunited since the MTC. We have lead such separate lives during our mission. She has been in the valley and I have been in the desert. I love her so much.
-While knocking on a street we were able to talk to one of our sisters. She answered the door and this is how the conversation went:
Me: Hi I'm Sister Starr (I have my hand out to shake hers)
Lady: Is that your real name?
Me: It's my real last name... What is your name?
Lady: What are you trying to do?
Me: Well, I'm trying to meet you...
Lady: I don't just give that information out to just anyone.
Me: Well, we are here in your neighborhood today as messengers of Jesus Chr..
Lady: NO YOU'RE NOT! Your a liar. That's what you are. From the pit of HELL! I know what you believe!
Me: Hmm, Why do you say that? What Church do you go to?
Lady: Get off my property!
Me: Would you accept a card?
Lady: Leave!
....
She obviously isn't ready yet. Hopefully one day! Also on her street we were able to teach 4 lessons and find 2 new investigators. Good thing we didn't get discouraged and turn back or we never would have found them!
-Apparently there is this new dance called the "shuffle". We visited a less active family and their daughters taught me it and I already have it down for when I get home. No worries.
-I plan on baking a treat a week since it is now the HoLidAY SeASoN!! So If you have any favorite recipes for fall or winter... please post them and my mom will let me know. I hope you are loving fall and ending the year strong.
LOVE, Sister Heidi Jayne Starr*
