So, this week has been super crazy! We got to teach Dorothy a
lot this week, and she was so excited to be baptized! :) On
Wednesday, we had our district meeting and the carpet cleaners showed up!
Yep. They were cleaning the carpets while we are trying to have
this spiritual district meeting! Anyway, after district meeting,
Dorothy came for her interview and brought Adrianna with her (her four year old
granddaughter). Adrianna is so cute! :) She decided that she
wanted to comb my hair, but none of us had a comb. So she decided to use a train
to comb my hair with –yeah, that did not work very well! At least it
didn’t get stuck! When the sisters got back (they went to get pizza for lunch)
we all went into the kitchen and Adrianna decided to play hide-n-seek.
Only, there was no where to hide! So we pretended to look in the
cupboards and everything and she just laughed in the corner. But she
really loves Sister Tenney and I and will always run up and give us hugs—Dorothy
was so excited after her interview- She was dancing! And Saturday was such an
amazing day. When her friend came with
Adrianna, She ran right up to us and sat by us. . . we got a ton of great
pictures and had everyone write testimony cards for her. It was amazing!
Then, that night, we got transfer calls. Sister Tenney is
leaving! :( Sad day! It really threw us off because we both thought
she wasn’t going to be transferred! And in all the craziness, we forgot
to check with the Leinbachs about a ride for Dorothy for church! So the
next day, we get to church and Brother Leinbach asks us if Dorothy is here and
we were like, "no, isn't Sister Leinbach getting her?" And she wasn’t!
And we couldn’t get a hold of her! So Brother Leinbach had to go
get her, only problem is that she lives 15 mins away from the church and he
was leaving right when the meeting was starting! Sister Tenney was
freaking out! She also had to give a talk so that probably didn’t help
her stress levels at all! But Dorothy finally got there (though she missed
the sacrament) with Adrianna. The bishop decided that we would do the
confirmation at the end, so everything is going great, Sister Tenney's talk,
Elder Smith talked, and then Brother Jordan (he is the best! He comes to
our missionary coordination meetings even though he got called to be a seminary
teacher now). Then, all of the sudden, Dorothy and Adrianna get up and
walk out. Then Brother Jordan is ending his talk so we had to run to the
bathroom where Adrianna was taking her sweet time and tell Dorothy they were
waiting for her! ahh! It was so crazy!
After sacrament meeting, everyone was coming up to say goodbye to
Sister Tenney and Brother Leinbach wanted to talk to us about a bunch of
things, and we were talking to the bishop and we finally made it to Sunday
school when someone else came and got us! It was chaos! But Dorothy, now
Sister Saunders had an interview with
the bishop on Sunday because she is heading to Durum for thanksgiving with her
family and there is a temple trip coming up December 6th and she is going to be
able to go! We just had to get her
records turned in so she can get a member record number and they are picking
her up in Durum on the way to the temple so she can do baptisms! So
exciting! And she is so excited to go to the temple!
After church, we went to the Leinbachs for lunch and to plan for the
up coming Christmas party. While we were there, we got a call from the
Zone Leaders and I was like, oh, probably for Sister Tenney. Yeah—no. It
was for me and apparently I am training! Talk about crazy! I
thought I was safe because calls for trainers are supposed to happen Saturday
morning! We had gotten a missed call from them yesterday, but when we called
back, they didn't answer and it was like 6 or so when they called so we figured
it was for something else all together. So that really threw me off!
Of course, we also got a new phone this week and it is a pain! We
have not figured it out and I am so slow at texting on that thing— I think
it is even worse than the last one!
Anyway, a little after that, we went with Sister Leinbach to pick
Sister Saunders and Adrianna up to take them to the church so they could meet
Brother and Sister Brewer and head off to Durum. Apparently, Brother Leinbach
had forgotten to tell us that we were supposed to call them after we had picked
Sister Saunders and Adrianna up so we were waiting and waiting! We
finally texted them and figured out the problem . . . Best moment ever:
Brother Brewer is buckling in Adriana's car seat and she starts rubbing his
head and asks, "what happened to all of your hair- it fell out!" "why did
it do that?" :) haha. I love little kids! :)
Anyway, sorry, this was super long and dramatic!
I hope y”all are having a great week! :)
