Sister Jayne Lee: PUPPIES, RAIN, AND HAWAII!!‏

This week we had this huge activity planned to try and find more investigators. Our Ward Mission Leader wanted us to plan a Hawaiian party and teach people how to hula and do the haka and then eat afterward. We went to a member's work and got invitations made and we asked for 100 invitations. And when we got there they had made us over 500 invitations to pass out. So we were determined to get people there. We split the stack in half with our Elders and we went out and were handing the invitations to everyone. My companion and I passed out our 250 invitations and so we went and took over 100 invitations from our Elders and passed them out. And we had people telling us that they were coming so we were super exited! We also were going to our really country areas and were handing out invitations to our less actives in that area. We found the cutest dog when we were out there! She had puppies and you could tell all she wanted was for someone to love her. So we kept playing with her and her puppies while we were waiting for the bus. We were having so much fun passing out the invitations and talking to a lot of people. We ended up passing out over 420 invitations to people on the street and the day of the party happened and no one person showed up... not ever our Ward Mission Leader who planned it with us! It was just so funny!! So we ended up going and grabbing two of our members from their house and we went along with the activity and then our Branch President came with his family and we taught them. We ended up having a really good time with them. The activity didn't turn out how we wanted it to, but it was a really strong testimony builder for me. That sometimes things don't happen like you want them to, but God has a different plan and maybe all of those people we handed out invitations to were not ready for the gospel then. But later they will be!! That's something I have learned a lot on my mission. And to always be positive because negativity never gets you anywhere!

One day we were out proselyting and one of our members called us to come over to her house to eat right then. We went over and all of the sudden it started raining out of the middle of nowhere. And we didn't have any umbrellas so we just walked to the members house in the rain. By the time we got there we were completely soaked!! We were just dripping wet. It was funny to see her face when she saw us so wet. But it was a good day!!

We have also been proselyting a lot with the origami fortune tellers we made and we have been getting a lot more success with them. So we're having fun with them! We also went on a hike today to a top of a mountain.
Love you all! Have a good week!!!
