WEEK 12 - Q&A (Guest Edition)

This week, I asked for suggestions for questions on Aidan's and my FB and Instagram pages. We got some awesome questions! Thanks so much, friends! I will be using the questions I got for the next several weeks. Here are the first five. Enjoy!

1. Lindsay Storrs - What is your advice for those preparing for their missions? And bonus question: Who was your favorite Sunday School teacher? :)

My very very best piece of advice for people preparing for missions is to get in the habit of praying and studying every day. Basically know as much of the scriptures as you can and become and expert of the scriptures. Bonus: I think the answer is pretty clear.

2. Tim Provost - What is your funniest rejection story?

This one guy, in the nicest house in the whole neighborhood, when we knocked on his door, he opened the door, there is a second door that is about 10 feet away that we were standing at. He stayed inside his house and said, "What do you want? You are thieves. You are infesting my country." Pretty entertaining.

3. Aunt Karen - What were you most grateful for this week?

I was most grateful for the primary kids in our ward, they gave a wonderful program and showed me that you don't have to be old to be a spiritual giant.

4. Rikke Kotter - If you could have one anything shipped to you from back home for just a day, what would you want? No you can't say your Mom, you can't ship people silly.

I would want a meal from Zupas. Easily.

5. Loni Mitchell- What has been the most surprising thing about your mission and the hardest part of serving there?

The most surprising thing has been that basically everyone lets us in, like everyone. We have really only been turned away like three times. But with that, the hardest part is that everyone here is Catholic and they "like" their church too much to leave it.

6. Andrew - Who has had the biggest influence on your life?

The people that have had the biggest influence on me. My parents -- the examples they have been for me and the things they have taught me. Umm you, the example you have been, the things I have learned from you, and the experience of having something so close to me really has had an influence on me.
