Hey everyone! This week has been such a whirlwind! We were driving to visit something the other day and we saw two huge plastic flamingos outside some random houses yard...so we decided to stop by and take a picture!
Something funny happened the other day. We were walking out the door and it was starting to get dark, right as we stepped outside the door was starting to swing shut and sister Richardson yells,
"WAAAAAIIIIITTTT, I forgot the *DOOR SLAMS* .......keys". So as you might've guessed we were locked out of our apartment. The office was closed and we had no idea what to do! So we decided to start walking towards our ward boundaries and go visit people or something. Well, to
put it simply....we had a grand Praying in the woods moment, I'm pretty sure Joseph smith was laughing at us as we did so. Then we randomly knocked on a house that was filled with old women having a bible study, who let us in and eventually sent us off with some cake.
We then decided that we should figure out some way to get back into our apartment. We considered climbing in some windows or picking locks, but then realized that might not be the best solution. So we sat outside, ate cake and called someone to come open it for us.
At our zone meeting, one of the sisters in my district waved me over as soon as I got there. I walked over and the first thing out of her mouth was, "soooo, I've volunteered us for something!" So Long story short....I believe that was the faster musical number put together in the history of ever!
We had companion exchanges this week also! I was the companion that got to stay in the area, and sister Richardson headed off somewhere else for 24 hours. The first appointment that was set was to a woman we had met the other day. W got in there and we found out that the main reason that she had invited us back was because she was concerned for our salvation! As you can imagine I was quite shocked to hear this.
While out running this week, I unintentionally tested the gravity and ended up flat on my back, with pieces of gravel stuck in my hands. not my proudest moment I'd have to say! And what made it even better was that I didn't pick out the smaller chunks of gravel until several hours later and by that point I had to run my hands under hot water And pull the skin off with tweezers. Luckily it wasn't too bad!
While headed to a different city for our stake conference we were sitting at a stop light and a car full of elders just happened to come up right at the same time and we're sitting behind us. Sister
Richardson and I the. Saw something come sprinting up to our car and pushed our side mirrors in and pulled up our windshield whispers so that they weren't touching the windows this whole time we sat there in shock watching, especially when realized that the elder that had played the prank on us was also the elder that was driving. Not sure how he managed to accomplish that at a stop light!
This week we had a return and report meeting. Basically all of the trainees and trainers all come and have a meeting with president Riggs, then the trainers are out in one room and the trainees in the
other and we are asked to pretty much spill the beans on anything we need to tell our companion, but have felt to shy to say it or just haven't felt comfortable saying it. Then they would take all the
suggestions that everyone had and tell them to the other room as a general statement to them. As I was sitting in the room and people were tossing about things that they wants the president to tell their
trainer I just sat there in shock. I realized that every single thing that was irking them was something that sister Richardson and I had already communicated about! I didn't have anything to say so I just
sat there and thought about how grateful I was that sister Richardson and I had great communication!
In the other room, I found out that the same thing was happening with the trainers, they would all sit there and have president tell us things that they felt we needed to address and I found out that sister
Richardson hadn't had anything to add and that she had had the same reaction to it as I had! It made us both so grateful that we are able to talk things out and fix things where necessary! My companion is great!
Well anywho, that's been some of what's happened this week! Love you all! :)
