Hey everyone! This week has been great! :)
We had exchanges this week....in a singles ward. That was definitely an instating experience. One particular girl that we saw told us about how she had been engaged and broke it off, then how she got a call in the middle of the night from the cops saying that he was coming to kill her! Scary! Luckily the police got there before he did.
I think I had a major heart attack this week. We pulled out of our parking lot and we were sitting in the car saying a prayer. All the sudden we heard screeching and squealing tires, and mid word we both looked up to see a huge truck come barreling towards us, so we both started screaming....only to see the truck come to a halt, and two elders laughing their heads off in the driver and passenger seat.
Scared me half to death and I was on high alert the rest of the day! Haha needless to say, they informed us that our reactions had made their day.
The other day I was driving and we were at a stop light. The man next to us had his window rolled down...so I looked at sister Richardson and jokingly said, "well hey,...perfect opportunity....". She
sloooooowly rolled down the window and started talking to him and tried to give him a card.....and he was too far away....haha so it ended up being rally awkward when he rejected.....and then the light
proceeded to stay red for several more minutes...I tried my very hardest not to start laughing....not sure if I completely succeeded or not.
We had interviews with president Riggs this week. I found out that when president asked sister Richardson how our relationship was that she broke down crying and said how much she loved me haha apparently she really likes my company or something;)
The other night we got a call right before we headed to bed. It was from an old man in our ward named brother bold. He informed us that he had invited probably 10 nonmember friends over and that he wanted us to come and mingle with them and possibly share our testimonies with them and stuff. And it was happening tomorrow night. We were thrilled! When we got there we met the funniest blind man, named Richard. He told us several great stories. In one particular story he told us that him and 2 of his friends had went out drinking. He hadn't really had anything there, but his 2 friends had had A LOT. so...they were sitting on the side of the road and the 2 friends had the most wonderful idea that Richard should be the designated driver. hmmm...after arguing for an hour of why he should not drive, Richard gave in and decided to test his driving skills. They all hopped into the car and the 2 drunk men proceeded to give Richard directions of when to stop and go and where to turn. They made it 3 blocks on a very busy main road, until the 2 men couldn't decide when to tell Richard to turn. So Richard decided that he was going to turn right then! and.....turned right into a pole. When the police men arrived...they didn't ask for his drivers license, but they decided that it would be really smart to ask him to walk the line to test how drunk he was. Well obviously the police man was REAL smart in asking a blind man to walk on something he couldn't see. But hey there aren't any laws against driving blind, so he had to ticket him for something right!? haha

Another story Richard told us was that he had gotten a ride down to the airport from a friend. Since he couldn't see his way to get inside, the friend parked in a no parking zone and took 30 seconds to walk him to where he should go. In the very short amount of time he was inside, the police had ticketed him. He decided to protest it and when the judge asked for an eye witness....he pointed to Richard. The judge just shook his head and let them go.
Oh also! I don't know if you've heard of the church thing that's going on, but on Easter day they are buying out all the adds on about a 100 different websites and they are posting all sorts of Mormon things on the sides. They posted a really cool video called "because of him" I posted it to my Facebook...but its super great! just on Easter day alone, they're assuming that about 109 million people will see their adds.
I'm headed to DC today, so I should have a lot of fun pictures next week! Although I wont get to email until next Wednesday or Thursday, so it'll be about a week and a half til you hear from me again! we're going to the temple and we cant go on Monday or Tuesday.
Anywho that's about it!! have a wonderful week!:)
Side note from Kali's sister Karalee (who updates this blog) -- Last week I was in DC on a Business Trip and thought ... Hey... It's Easter, (and to anyone who knows our family well knows that... we all still do an Egg Hunt every year. All of us. Adults.) SOOOO, upon realizing that Kali's apt was 10 miles from my hotel.. I formulated a plan. To make an Easter Basket full of goodies, catch the subway as close as I could get, and take a taxi the rest of the way to go and "Ding and Ditch" said Basket on Kali and Sister Richardson's doorstep from "the Easter Bunny." I wish I could have seen her, it was tough being so close and not being able to! Here are pictures and Kali's response.
Thank you sooooo much for the basket!! hahaha I was so surprised!!:) as soon as I saw the handwriting on the card I thought, "hmmm...looks like Kara's hand writing..." but I wasn't actually sure if it was hahaha until I read the card and I definitely knew it was you then hahaha I thought it was just so so sooooo sweet that you decided to take a hike allll the way up here and I absolutely loved the card and goodies!!!:) I felt really loved. hahaha It was really funny some girl next door actually knocked on our door and was like, "ummm....this stuff is outside your door...." What time did you actually end up showing up to put the basket there? We didn't find it until morning, I think we must have gone in the other door that night. Haha! You probably felt like a ninja ;)
