The Weird One


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
