Sister Haley Baker: Week 25--HELLOOOOOO💖💖💖

Hello!!

This week was great!!! As per usual!! We had a week full of blessings, funny stories, and crazy people!!! My favorite kind of week!!!

This week we meant with Samson again!! And he is so amazing guys!!! Legitimately amazing!!!! He found the I'm a Mormon messages and wanted to make one haha!!! So he did! It's awesome!! I'll send it to you!! And we talked about missionary work!! He wants to go on a mission so bad!! But is so nervous cause he says that when he is in front of two people, like me and sister Cressler, he can share his testimony but when
there is more he gets afraid!! But we explained how strong his
testimony really is!! So we will keep working on that!!!

We went over to Amir's!! He has family over to help take care of him while he is healing cause of his foot and they have a teenage son. And it was so funny! During sister Cressler's prayer (really loud) thriller from Michael Jackson came on, on his big surround sound system thing!! And it was so funny I was trying so hard not to laugh during the prayer!! And then he turned Ellen on which didn't really make sense cause the kid only spoke Persian so he had no idea what she was saying!! So like she would say some thing funny in the background of us talking and they wouldn't laugh cause they didn't know what she was saying! But luckily he turned that off! Then like 10 minutes later, while we were talking, even louder, Candy Shop by 50 cent came on!! Hahaha and Amir was like ohhh I love 50 cent!! Do you know this song?! And sister Cressler and I just look at each other and say uhh ya! Can we chose a song now?? And we turned on Glorious by David Archuleta haha!!! We explained he was a member of our church and served a mission in Argentina! But then they wanted to turn some more 50 cent on so we asked if they could turn it off till we left! Haha but they fed us some food from Iran and it was the weirdest meat I've ever eaten!!! I literally have no idea what I ate!! It could have been a dog for all I know!!

We talked to so many people on the bahns and busses this week!! It was so cool!! We only got turned down and had to sit there awkwardly for 15 minutes like 4 times!! It was really cool!!! Sometimes I don't get why when people have time, they can't just listen to what we have to say... It really makes no sense to me!! Your literally sitting there in silence not doing anything for 20 minutes anyway... Just listen to me!!! It's worth it!!! Like the other day we were walking home from the church and we have to walk down this pretty path way for like 15 minutes of it and there was this guy and I started talking to him and he goes "oh sorry no time!" And he literally walked in front of us the whole time... Excuse me sir, you had at least 15 minutes!! Ya liar!
But that's okay cause people like that make the people who do listen 10X better!!! Like this guy Ben was way cool and he sat down in front of us and we started talking to him and casually brought up the church and he said he's not super religious and when we asked if he had interest is learning more about our Church he was just like "hmmm why not!" And now we are meeting with him later this week!!!

Oh my goodness coolest thing happened!!!! So on Sunday we were leaving church and we usually walk home, but this day I was being a tiny bit lazy and wanted to take the bus home... Even though it takes a little longer. But we did and we got to the Bonhof and we saw Frank!! Little back story, we used to meet with Frank a while ago and it was going really well but all of a sudden he stopped answering our phone calls then everytime we called his phone, our phone would just hang up! We figured he didn't want to hear from us anymore and blocked us!! It was really sad cause he was really progressing!! But then we saw Frank and I was like no freaking way!! And we walked up to him and he was so happy to see us!! I asked him where he has been and he goes why do you stop calling me?! And I was what they heck?! We used to call you every day! You stopped answering! And he explained his phone broke and he has a new number! So he gave us the new number but our bus got there and we had to go! And as we were driving away I tried to call his phone and he gave us the wrong number and we were so disappointed! But I had the strongest feeling I typed it in wrong and we had to go back!! I fought it a little but told sister Cressler and she agreed and we got off the on the next bus stop and walked back and he was still there and I said, "sorry I think I typed it in wrong can I have it again!" And he was like ya!! And I did type it in wrong and we were able to make an appointment with him!!! I'm so excited!!

This week, cause we have no money literally haha, we cooked! And it turns out I can actually cook! This week we barbecued some chicken and sausages that a member gave us! We made cheesy potatoes and grilled chicken again and had vegetables!! Not to brag but I'm a pretty good cook!!!

So a while ago, like my first transfer we went over to Cicillia's, a
less active, house for dinner and while we were there a man came over and was so excited to be in the same room as Americans. He was literally so excited and said that he loves America, Americans, and anything from there and it's his dream to go there! So I thought wow this guy a little crazy but way nice!! But to be honest I kinda just forgot about him! But this week we were eating at Cicillia's again and on our way there we heard a man yell out the window "AMERICANS PLEASE COME UP HERE WHEN YOUR DONE!!" So Sister Cressler and I just look at each other and are like okay!! Haha but we ate at Cicillia's and told her and she got so excited and walked us up there and stayed for a little and introduced us to his family! He has a wife and one son!! And then she had to go so she left us!! And I wasn't exactly sure
where this was going to go... Like did he want to just talk about
America or what? But then he goes "so your here for a church and I
want to hear about it, my wife and son are Muslim but I am a Christian and I want to hear about your church" and we were so excited and we talked about our church and his son is totally interested to! It was an amazing spiritual experience!!! The spirit was so strong in the room!! And you can see that him and his son felt it!! I'm so excited to go back!!!

That's so fun for Jace!! And oh my goodness Gage's dives
are so stinkin good!! Go Gager!!!! And that's so fun about the hotel!! I want pictures of that too!! Haha

LOVE YOU!!!!!
TALK TO YOU LATER!!!!!!!!
