Week 1 MTC

So I landed in Carlsbad a week ago (about a week ago week ago) And I absolutely love my Mission President! I was called to Carlsbad YSA and even though its great they are a tough crowed. they don't believe that missionary work should be the main priority (UGH). My companion is an Angel! I love her soooooooo much! She is going home soon though and I am soo sad! she is from Utah like almost everyone else but she is a southern girl at heart we get along so incredibly well! My first week was awesome! I've had a lot of great experiences! Running is fun I can totally breath here and i'm trying to really push myself! No one really talked about how hard things can be! or maybe they did and I wasn't listening which is a lot more likely! lol But the Biggest experience happened on Saturday! We are only allowed to teach Single women with no kids and in California its hard to find them at their house! We have been trying to work with the members but they aren't really cooperating with us which makes it hard. So when 15 people didn't open their doors (Members) I got into a really bad funk and I told Sister Forsyth that I was really feeling down so we went and got Ice cream! its was awesome! and we prayed and the next person we went to go see was a young man who just got back from Samoa and got some mosquito disease but was still happy we where there and visited with us! so that really brightened my spirits! and then the next girl we went to met with us! and she is pretty cool! She is staying with her Gma for the summer and she wanted to serve a mission but while she was at school got crazy anxiety and depression but the Drs gave her the wrong medicine and it just made things worse so now the Drs womnt let her go on a mission and we shared stories with her and really formed a bond and then we started sharing Funny stories and everyone knows that I have pleanty of those lol I told the Christmas story the broom story the Coln. Cars story and the story of when I slept walked and peed on someone (would I could I Okay) that was my Companions favorite story! But Moral of the story is that she thanked us for being there because she doesn't have friends and I felt so stronglky to invite her to chirch and she said she would think about it (BUT SHE CAME!!!!!) so I was in such a good mood leaving and we had to go contact 20 ppl that's our SOE so we went to Carlsbad downtown at like 8:30 so me and My companion were just telling stories and laughing and I had asked a guy for a ride on his Skate board and he looked at me like he didnted speak English so then I asked if there was room for two! I thought it was funny lol but we just kept going and I was being goofy and there was this guy who had a Guitar on his back and I had felt Prompted to ask him to play Something for us! it was weird but I did it! and he started playing for us he had asked me questions and we were being a little silly but at the end of his song I told him I don't have any money but I have this card with a website on it and it just has videos of Jesus Christ and peoples stories on how they grew closer to him and he said I think that's the best payment anyone could have given me! and he said woul you believe that you are a god sent and I just kinda responded with "Well my name is Angel so .... sure yeah!" and he kinda got emotional and said how fitting I was Praying for an Angel All day!!!! and WOWWWWWWW I almost Cried! I was having the worst day ever! but if those 15 people had answered their doors I wouldn't have met with Allen Or Erika and I wouldn't have met Omar (Guitar guy) and that was just a testimony builder gfor me that EVERYTHING is in the lords time and if we just trust him and have the courage to Open our mouths to share what we Know then God will take care of the rest we just need to have Faith that he Will!!!! I love and miss all of you and i'm praying for everyone like crazy!!! Until Next week! Share what you Know to be true!

Sincerely Sister Prather
