Wow,
so much happened this week! Where to begin??? Last Monday, we had a zone activity at the
stake center and it was lots of fun! We were playing ultimate ball and
got so much good exercise that we were totally super sore the next day!
Sister Steimle even got up in the middle of the night to get pain meds!
And then she spent the rest of the week hobbling around like an old
woman! Any time she'd sit down she would stiffen up and then have the hardest time getting up! :) I was sore too but not that sore!!
Also
this week, we had interviews with President Alexander! He is such an
amazing person to talk to! He is one of those people who just lights up
the whole world with him smile and you find yourself just grinning
back at him! We are super excited to continue working with him! :)
Later
in the week, we had a dinner appointment with some members and this particular
member is just a little intense and kind of Intimidating.
So we were both worried about the dinner appointment. So we
sit down for dinner and start talking. Pretty soon, I notice my companion is
just sitting there sawing at her meat with a butter knife and not getting
anywhere, so she asked for a sharper knife. As she begins trying to cut
with this knife, she is still making no progress! So the member finally
gets up and cuts Sister Steimle's meat for her!! I was trying so hard not
to just bust up laughing!!! I just about fell out of my chair!
Meanwhile, the member is just acting like this is a normal occurrence and
goes on with the dinner conversation. So funny!
When
we went to see Tara this week, everything was going crazy! Isn’t is awful
how their lives fall apart when they start learning about the gospel?? The
opposition is real! Anyway, Ethan comes around the corner with blood streaming
down his face! Turns out he had fallen off his bike and hit a piece of
glass!! And since there was no Band-Aid to be had, they got some paper towels and duct tape for a makeshift bandage (and that is when you know you are
in the country!!). They ended up having to take him to an urgent care for
stitches!
So
Sister Steimle enjoys poking me in the side at unexpected moments. So one
evening during dinner, we ended up having a ticking war before heading off to coordination
meeting with our ward mission leader and the elders. And then during the
meeting, she poked me! I have to admit, it was probably quite funny
because I jumped like crazy! I was totally focused on what Brother Watson
was saying! I had to make myself not laugh.
Also,
I played the piano for sacrament meeting again! I really need to practice
the sacrament hymns sometime... On the plus side, I got to play in primary! The kids are hilarious! They made an announcement about an upcoming
stake activity and one of the kids goes, "can I go? I love Steak! Especially when it has some pink in the middle!!" Hehee!
I
went to Harrisburg on exchanges this week as well and Sister Buckner and I had
a great time! We met some really strange people at the park like this Asian woman who, not only had a thick accent, but is also obsessed with exercise and was telling us all about it! I seriously think we were
listening to her for at least fifteen minutes! Every time I would try to
end the conversation, she was just not taking the hint! Haha I just love how some people never want to stop
talking and usually pour out their entire life story to you! I guess that
is just the spirit though—they feel like they can trust us. And really, the
Spirit and Heavenly Father are the best people to trust! It is amazing
how you can pour out your worries to God and how the worries just disappear!
I am also thankful for a companion who is around to remind me of that!
Prayer is real and works!
Sure
love y’all!
Sister A.
