Ah, this Friday my mission skills were challenged. Erika and i walked from store to store in Capital mall looking very professional( i think we looked like Mormons cause we were in twos) trying to get raffle donations for the Pumpkin Patch Bash. After about 15 tries with no definite yes, my enthusiasm lessened quite a bit. However we persisted and got our first yes from Cinnabon! Woohoo! After that i was ready for the rest of the day.
By the end of the day we received one more definite yes, to which we treated ourselves to a pretzel and Starbucks. My eyes have been opened to just how persistent you have to be to raise money for any cause. Praise the Lord for my experience. Oh and Kelly for giving me the opportunity. We will see how it goes our next time around!
