Last
Monday, we did an activity at the church with the Kannapolis missionaries and
the concord elders. In an attempt to distract Sister Grace from the pain
she's in (the doctors are trying to figure out what is wrong) we did some
minute to win it games and it was hilarious! Especially the one where we
were trying to thread a dry spaghetti noodle through the top of a soda can and
each companion would have one end in their mouth and have to carry it across
the gym. It was intense! :)

So I totally knocked down all the cups in one try! Win :-)

This one was where Sister Lawin threw ping pong balls
and tried to make them stick in the peanut butter..

Sister Grace and Sister Steimle...this should be fun!

This
week, we had a chance to go on exchanges with the Matthews sisters and I had so
much fun in Matthews! I was there with Sister Rasmussen and we had a ton
to talk about because she was a companion with Sister Shepherd in Lakefield
right after I left! So we spent a ton of time comparing Sister Shepherd
stories and catching up on events in Lakefield.
She is so much fun and it made me laugh because she kept doing or saying
things that I knew she had picked up from Sister Shepherd. We biked all over Matthews having a great time
and making fun of each other's sweaty hair and whatnot :) We even got
some great pictures! (Probably it would have been better to do them at the
beginning of the exchange…oh well!).

| Sister Rasmussen and I on exchanges! |
We
had our last district meeting of the transfer, where did the time go?? We went
out to eat together afterwards and then realized we were in the parking lot where
Carla works! We ended up stopping by to see her and give her some food,
since she forgets to eat. I think she ate half the bag of nuts we had
given her in five minutes flat!
We
had an opportunity to go on exchanges with the Spanish sisters as well and it
was a lot of fun! Sister Luna came here with me and at one point, we were
walking back to our car when a Mexican man in a truck slowed down and stopped,
looking at us. So we went to talk to him and I had no clue what they were
saying! And then he turns to me and says something in Spanish and I was
like, "sorry, I don't speak Spanish!" Turns out he speaks
English too and he proceeds to tell me he has some magazines that will help me.
Haha, yep, Jehovah's Witness! He gave us some lovely pamplets and
we went on our merry way. Sister Steimle got a laugh out of it when she
saw them in the recycle
bin! But it was really interesting because as she pulled them out and was
showing me some of the pictures—they are so depressing! When we put it
side by side with some of our literature, it was a huge difference! I
know what church I want to be part of!
Funny
moment of the week, we were over at our ward mission leaders home for dinner
and Sister Steimle tried to pour some more water. Only, she totally
missed the cup and poured it all over the table! Haha, guess that jug was
a little heavy for her…she is probably never going to live that one down!
I can imagine the Watsons years from now talking about the Sister who
spilled water all over their table because she wasn't strong enough to hold it
:)
Also this week, we pulled up to go see
a less active member and saw an older man outside on his porch. So we walk
over to talk to him and as we got closer, his music got louder. He was listening
to opera music! And he loves his music! Every Time we would try to
talk about the gospel, he would bring the topic back to his music. Yeah
we eventually just gave up! I really do love the south, even the people who
talk without breathing! I appreciate those who are willing to listen and
who feel the spirit! I love sharing the gospel!
Hope y’all
have a miracle filled week!
