Week 58

HOLY SNOW!!

HEY its been a good week!!! we heard from several people that it was supposed to snow....aaaand

Sister Bost and I decided that it would be smart for us to get a shovel and ice melt. So we headed to the store and didn't find any....went to another store. Nothing. We went to several different places and all of them were out, but for some reason the Stores were packed and traffic was bad! It was a random week day. It's never like that. No place had any shovels or ice melt. Supposedly we are supposed to get 8 inches of snow. And I think people were panicking and they were stocking up on stuff. Seriously. People were going crazy in the stores and loading up on toilet paper and water bottles. It's like they were preparing to be trapped inside for months.

Then, Thursday morning, Holy snow! Well they were right about getting snow. It snowed and snowed and snowed. 

People here are so funny. Whenever it snows like two inches people are say, "sorry! We can't meet today! We're snowed in!"

Margo (a member of our ward) called us, she had fallen again. We weren't allowed to drive. It was right when we were about to eat dinner and we threw everything down and told her that we were coming. She just needed to hold on. It took us about a half hour to walk there

Sister Bost had thrown a sparkly headband away, so j asked her if I could have it. I felt like I was wearing s tiara ha ha and I told sister Bost that she should call me my lady and your majesty. When we got to district meeting, sister Bost pulls out my chair, motions to it and says "your majesty..." And then right as I go to sit down she pulls it backwards!, not enough so that I'd fall in the ground, but just enough so that I would semi fall into it ha ha we both just died laughing and a couple sisters right next to us were pretty confused.

We were supposed to have a lesson with the Ibanez family tonight. But we got to their house and no one was home. I was quite relieved, I didn't really feel like going there tonight, so we left them a note on the door and drove away, about 20 minutes later they called us and asked if we were going to still have a lesson, we said we were headed in the opposite direction, but that we would look over our schedule and see if we had time to come back. But we got there and they had a random friend there. But he said he didn't know much about our church. Haha The Ibañez tricked us! Ha ha we start talking to him about the church and telling him more and then right as he said he was about to go.....we found out that we had just taught a member....it was hilarious!!

The friend had planned this in the car, told sister Ibanez and she said she wasn't sure if they should do it, then she figured, "eh they're good natured sisters, let's do it!" 

While we were our knocking on some potentials, there was a couple pots of flowers outside of one house. Sister bost leaned down to smell them, and as she was going, I realized at they were fake, but she didn't realize that until her face was smashed into the flower ha ha .

A couple weeks ago we received a referral. When we'd asked for the referral it was the little girl who piped up and said, "go visit them! They are Christian that's all I know!" Haha so finally after a couple weeks, we were able to go by today. Imagine my surprise when a member of our Ward answered the door. I stood there speechless and my mouth was moving like a fish. Sister Bost had never met this Ward member before, so she was staring at me very confused. It was hilarious. She invited us in for water and cookies. 

We saw someone in their garage in a storm trooper outfit. Ha ha so classy. We wrote down his house number so that we could go talk to him later. 

anywho, that's about it! have a good week!!
