Today is just weird. P-day should not be on Tuesday because it just throws everything off. This'll be a weird week.
Got
some great stories for you this week! Most of them aren't really
miracles but they are so entertaining! Haha prepare yourself.
Well
first of all Bennie is doing great :) We pushed his baptism date back
because we just know he isn't ready yet but that's fine! Don't want to
rush salvation! This week when we were talking to him we asked him if he
believed that this was the true church and whatnot and he was like,
"Well I can't answer yes or no." And we asked why and he was like saying
stuff about how he's just not ready to give the answer...but he knows
the answer. And soon everyone is going to know his answer when he
announces it. I don't even know...he is just one odd duck.
So
one of the families in our branch: he used to less active and she just
recently got baptized and his brother died this week. We went to the
memorial service. Then afterwards we decided that we were going to go
"heart attack" them. So we go to their house and we drive by their
neighbors who we know that are less active and she is His aunt and so we
just thought that they were all still at the funeral home. So we park
down the road and start walking towards their house and all of the
sudden they come out of the driveway. We are a little bit down the road
and so Sister Sumbot being....well Sister Sumbot just turns
around....haha like they wouldn't know she was there and she just stands
there!!! Haha and then I'm just standing there and oh it was so funny.
So they drive by us and they are like, "Hi....what are you doing?" And
we are just like, "Oh just walking down the street...." "yeah down the
street that pretty much no one lives on but us....okay...are y'all
okay?" And we were just like, "yeah! Everything's great! Pretend like
you don't see us." And they are like "Okay then we don't see you..." And
they drove away. Oh it was just soooo funny. Then the next day at
church we were joking about it and they said thanks for the heart attack
and they were like, "How on earth did you do that without us seeing?"
haha it was just so funny.
So we had District
meeting in Pikeville on Thursday which is an hour away and we had to
drive for an hour with the 4 of us in the back on one car. It was quite
uncomfortable haha. But DM was good. Sister Sumbot and I trained
together on comp unity and it was so funny because we started by
pretending like we were going to train on something else. We were going
to not have comp unity and then be like "just kidding!" Haha so we start
out but the way it happened was just that it looked like we were just
so unprepared. Elder Westra (the DL) after we said JK was just like,
"Wow I was worried because you guys just looked so unprepared and I
thought it was going to be so inspired since you changed it." Oh it was
so funny. The rest was really good though :)
Oh
guess what? So there's this less active family that we have been working
with....well pretty much just the mom. And we go visit her and stuff
and she loves to talk to us but she just won't come to church!! So
anyway, on Sunday we are sitting there in sacrament and guess who walks
in and sits in the back? The 14 year old daughter!!!!! We like...never
talk to her and she just showed up. Her family dropped her off but
didn't come in. After we sang (all the missionaries sang in sacrament)
we went and sat by her. Then we were talking to her on Facebook and she
was saying how she hopes her family will come with her next week!! But
the thing that is so awesome about it is that literally...just that
Friday we had added that family to our prayer list and BAM!!! Wow.
Prayer is real. That was just awesome.
So here's
the crazy story for you. Haha so on Thursday we were at a relief society
activity and after it was over we were going to go out with Sister
Tucker to see Clem and Ashlee but they cancelled and so we just asked
Sister Tucker to take us to Walmart. But our phone was dead so we before
we went we called the other sisters from the church phone and told them
where we would be (we left them a message). So she drops us off at
Walmart and we went and talked to people and then at 9 we went and
waited for the other sisters. So then it's like 9:05 and we are like,
"Where are they?" So we put the battery back in our phone and just
prayed it would work. Miraculously, it does and so we are able to
call them. However, THEY DIDN'T ANSWER. They never check their
phone...like ever. So we texted them too because they are pretty good at
that and we got nothing. So then we were trying to think of someone
else who could take us home and the phone died. Great. Try again...no
such luck. Soooooo it's like 9:15 right now and we just...started
walking! Home from Walmart! We are crazy!! And, Walmart is on the
interstate and so we had to walk along that for a bit and then walk up
the on ramp so we could go over the over pass rather than cross the
interstate. Crossed the over pass and then walked to rest of the way
home. We didn't get home till 10. And when we came home we saw that the
sister's lights were all off...they went to bed early. And we go in and
no one had called or texted us. So yeah we had to call president and
tell him (because you have to when you are late) and he didn't answer
but wow it was just crazy. Yeah we did that.

Yesterday
we went on exchanges and that was fun :) Nothing much to say about that
really....Pretty normal day I guess :) except for the fact that it was
Monday :)
Yesterday and today have been over 60 degrees. No jackets on us today! :)
Well, sorry this letter is so bizarre....
Hebrews 6:12,15 is a really awesome scripture. That is our transfer theme for our companionship :)
Love y'all!!! Talk to you in less than a week ;)
Love,
Sister Myers
