So
not a lot of amazing things have happened this week. I really don't
have an miracles to tell but I have some pretty entertaining stories
that you will either laugh your head off at....or you will just shake
your head and go.."That Sister Myers and her companion are the bizarrest
people to walk the planet..." Yeah....the latter is probably true
though haha.
Well first off...we got to go to
the Temple this week! The day before was seriously like Christmas Eve
and the morning off was like Christmas morning....and then when it was
over we were just like...this like when all the presents have been
opened and you're just like oh....it was sad to go back to the real
world. But anyway it was was amazing! Haha it was funny though because
the session started out in Spanish! You should've seen the officiators
face! Haha! :) Okay but when we got into the Celestial room we were all
just sitting there and President and Sister Anderson were hugging the
missionaries and I was just sitting there and I just felt so much love
for all the missionaries and President and Sister Anderson! It was just
like, "these people are my family!" (Mom...don't freak out)...but anyway
it was awesome! I seriously love all the missionaries here! And the
people! It's crazy how much you can love people in just such a short
amount of time. Also, don't worry this is like a family love...no one
freak out...haha "Lock Your Heart"!!! :) Haha Garrett remember when you
told me that before you left and you were like, "You'll understand when
you're a missionary!" haha when I read that talk I was like, "Oh!"
Anyway random...probably no one cares....
Okay so here's your entertaining stories for you:
So the other day I went to get a drink of milk and so I poured some and luckily only
took a sip. It was so disgusting. It was thick (not sure why I didn't
notice when I poured it) and it tasted like sour yogurt. Oh my....I was
so grossed out. I looked over at the counter and saw some wafer cookie
things and I seriously just started stuffing them in my mouth....ah! I
can still imagine that taste! Oh yeah PS the milk was definitely not
supposed to be expired....anyway....so then I went and told Sister O and
when I was telling her the story she literally fell to the floor
because she was laughing so hard! Haha it was so funny. But yeah...I can
still imagine the taste of it! Yikes!
Okay story number 2: so at lunch on Thursday
I was sitting at the table writing in my journal and Sister O was
making a smoothie. I'm just sitting and writing and all of the sudden
Sister O starts screaming and so I run into the kitchen.....smoothie all
over the counter....the bottom of the blender had gotten unscrewed and
so when she lifted it up and bottom came out and...yeah....so then there
was thick smoothie all over the counter and so Sister O goes to start
wiping it up with paper towels and I was like, "No." And so I go get a
plate/bowl thing and 2 spatulas and I start scraping the smoothie onto a
plate and the dumping it out and Sister O thought it was the funniest
thing. She was like, "Sister Myers you are going to be a greatest mom
because you will have creative ways to clean up throw up and stuff."
Um...thanks?
Story number 3: Okay so it was Thursday
still and we were having our dinner hour in our apartment because we
didn't have an appointment. I went to go take a nap. But then I decided I
didn't want to and so I got up and I walked in the room to go sit at
the table and I saw Sister O standing, her back facing me, at the
counter writing in her journal, waiting for her food to cook. Quick
background: Sister O gets scared REALLY easy. Like you could scare her
ANY time, any way...So knowing this I was like, "Okay I could scare the
crap out of her but I do that way too much so I'm not going to." But,
she didn't turn to look at me and so I was pretty sure she didn't see me
and so I noisily tossed something onto the couch so she would know I
was there and when she heard the sound she turned and when she saw me
she screamed. I didn't even mean to scare her that time! Haha it was so funny.
Okay last one: So we go to do a lesson (it's still Thursday)
with the Jay and the family and we sit down and all the sudden Sister O
stands up screaming and everyone was like, "what? what? what?" Yeah
there was a giant beetle in her hair and so then it was crawling around
the couch and then it went in the couch....but it was so funny. I was
dying......we sat on the floor the rest of the lesson.....
Sister O screamed a lot on Thursday....
So
I had chia seed pudding this week. It was bizarre. It pretty much
doesn't tasted like anything so you just mix stuff like fruit and yogurt
or whatever to make it taste how you want it and supposedly it is
pretty healthy (well, maybe not the stuff you put in it but the actual
pudding is).
So guess what? Terry was going to come to church this week!!! Then he didn't. Bummer. We went and saw him Saturday
night and talked to him and he was SO willing to come to church and we
asked his son, who we had talked to once...for like 3 seconds...to come
and he was SO willing too! And so we told him we would call him to make
sure he was awake and was coming and he said that was alright and so we
did. We probably called him like 592 times - and he never
answered...bummer....
Jay.....well....he's fine
I guess. Still has pretty much no desire to be baptized or
anything....*sigh*...we are just praying that he does. He is doing
everything! He prays, he reads (he has a goal of reading at least 1 book
of the Bible a week! Well...maybe no Isaiah but still!), he comes to
church (he didn't come yesterday so that was sad...)....and he listens
to our lessons and everything. We know we've done all we can do though
and so now we are just trying to keep that spiritual environment there
to his desire can grow.
So we got this
referral from Elder Bastian (one of the ZL's) and so we went and saw
them but no one answered and so we went to the house next door. This
girl named Melissa answered and we were talking to her and she was like,
"Oh yeah, my best friend is a Mormon. Her name is Talia Jurinsky." Whoa
pause! Talia Jurinsky is a less active in the ward! What?! Anyway we
talked to her for like an hour and she said we could come back and talk
to her! Crazy! Then we went and saw Talia that evening (because she had
actually been gone for like 3-4 months because her dad has cancer) and
that went so well! She's actually not even really less active per
say...she just has a lot of health problems and she literally can't sit
through church and so we set up to have someone bring her the sacrament
because they were doing it for a while and then stopped and she was
wishing she could take it. Can we talk about the timing of this whole
thing? Sister Jurinsky was gone...for like 3 months and she just got
back and she's only back for a bit! We didn't even know that until
Melissa told us! God's timing is crazy.
I guess that was pretty miraculous! Anyway, I hope y'all don't think I'm insane and you were entertained by my stories! :)
Oh yeah but quick before I go I have a question and a quote for y'all:
The quote is, "One thing more contagious than enthusiasm, is lack of enthusiasm." President Monson.....enough said....
And
here's the question: If Christ came to you and let you ask 1 question
what would you ask? And you can't say "Well I ask him questions all the
time through prayer." Yeah someone said that when we asked that while
tracting....anyway, really...what would you ask Him? If y'all have time
you should email/send your responses somehow because I am really
curious.
Anyway, I hope y'all have an amazing week! Love you so much!!
Love,
Sister Myers
