This
week, we met an older black lady, who would be perfect for our Ward! And she
was willing to have us come back. So the next day we pull up and Sister
Blaylock goes, is that like a lamp I can see through the window? Looks
like we're going to have a séance or something. So we headed up and saw
she had set up a little table with four chairs and a lamp on the middle of the
table. So we all sat down and she asked us if it was okay if she recorded
the lesson. We told her that was okay so she turned it on and started
narrating, "it is October the 7th, 2015 and I am here with the Norman
girls and we're about to pray!" I was trying so hard not to laugh at
the Norman thing and then she wanted to hold hands for the prayer and I am sure
it looked like we were going for a seance! It really was a good lesson though
and she had some great questions for us. After, we helped her put the
table and chairs away and we're looking at some pictures of her family.
She started telling us all about her family and then said, "you
won't find any pictures of my husband here, because I killed him. Just
like I'm going to kill you!" She was looking strait at Sister
Flaherty, who backed up, and Sister Blaylock and I were just standing on either
side in shock. She had seemed so normal up to this point! It was
seriously scary to be standing there trying to figure out how to save Sister
Flaherty when Beverley was staring her down! After about ten seconds or so of
shocked silence she said, "haha just kidding! I got you
though!" And then she started telling us about her ex-husband, who is still
alive. Haha we are still laughing about that one!
Also
this week, we went on exchanges with the Matthews sisters! I went to Matthews
and we were on bikes for the day. Haha, such a good work out! I
loved it though! Sister Vos and I got to eat dinner with a super cute
recent convert- less active. She fed us chicken and dumplings and let us
play with her cute kitty :) I also managed to get pretty sunburned...
Oops! Wish I'd had sunblock with me! As we were getting back to
concord, we met at a warehouse where a member of the
church has a huge distribution service thing she works with. She has hundreds
of Coats, strollers and car seats that she was then distributing to those who
need them in the community. When I got there, she said she needed me to
fill in for her on Sunday. Apparently she was supposed to give a talk.
Nice. Of course I didn't have any time to plan at all until after
we'd gotten home and finished planning for our day, so I was trying to figure
out what i wanted to talk about....then we had Ward council the next morning at
7:30. Haha, so pretty much I was making it up as I went along! Luckily the topic was the gospel of Jesus
Christ and the atonement so I
brought a pamphlet up with me :) everyone said I did a really good job,
but I don't really remember it! Haha. I just testified of Jesus Christ
a lot and of our Heavenly Father and of their love for us.
I
hope y'all have a great week!
