Happenings
Something I learned this week: so laman and Lemuel did the
same
things as nephi-they left Jerusalem, they went back for the plates, they
helped build the boat, and went to America. So why weren't they like
nephi? Because their attitudes were awful! Attitude is everything!
Finally here in North Carolina! It is so green and
beautiful here! (And humid! Luckily not too hot yet). My companion
is sister Perea from Arizona and she is amazing!
And people
are super friendly here! They also really like making me pray
because I'm the newbie....And when I tell people I'm from Utah, everyone
groans! Seriously! No joke!
Anyway, we've taught lots of people and had one storm (luckily we
were inside!) And the members are so nice here! Everyone hugs ands
says "I love you." It's super great!
Funny story: so we're driving back to our apartment from the transfer
meeting with two bikes on the back of Shelby's car. And then all of
the sudden Shelby is like "I have to pull over. The bike rack
just broke!" So we pull over, get out, and then the three of us
are on a busy interstate pulling the bikes off the back. So we are
all standing around trying to figure out what to do and we eventually call
elder and sister Reidhead. Then we start trying to make the bikes plus
my two huge suitcases fit into the trunk and backseats. We eventually
got one in, but there was no way another one would fit. So while we are waiting, a police car pulls
up behind us to see what's going on...awkward!
The Reidheads eventually get there and they put my bike on the back (the
third bike on their car) and then realize the tire will have to come off so the
tire won't hit the road. So we take the tire, and they take the rest
of the bike...
It was a while until the tire got reconnected and we still don't have
the brake connected! Oh well...guess I don't really need
the front brake.
So random fact of the day... Apparently, the area I'm in is one of
the top five places in the United States for allergens! Yeah for Greensboro! And
my poor companion has allergies! (And just about everyone I've met).
So one day we were walking to our dinner appointment and she was sneezing like
crazy! Don't worry though. We have a car for this week
and next. (Three of us share two cars).
Oh and my ward/area is Summerfield! And we've had dinner
every night so far! I think my favorite was with the Bridge
family! Their cute son Riley wanted me to pick him up really badly,
and I totally couldn't! So sad!
Also, the flowers are so beautiful here! I really need to
get some pictures of the flower bushes! So I totally loved our dinner appointment with cute sister Powsowski who gave us a bag of bunny shaped marshmallows and told us we need to eat
one a day so we'll be "hoppy" :) that definitely makes me happy! Also,
an investigator came to church on Sunday and he liked it so much, he changed
his availability at work so he could come every Sunday!
Hope y'all are having a fantastic week!
