IIIIIIIIIIIII'm Moving Out!

SO MUCH THIS WEEK.

 

Saturday we spent all day moving out of our apartment. We had the Elders and a couple ward members help us, but it was exhausting. We're still living in our current apartment until Tuesday though, so all we have left is our beds and a box of breakfast food (cream of wheat, oatmeal, and pancake mix, of course). Saturday night we realized that our food accidentally got sent to our new apartment, so we didn't even have pasta to cook, haha. So we just went to Wawa and got sandwiches (I love Wawa sandwiches!). This morning I just sat on the empty floor and studied. It was a sad sight. 

 

 

Tuesday we did service for a former investigator, John, that the Elders worked with. I trimmed hedges (just call me Sister Pro-hedge-trimmer from now on) while Sister McNeil cleaned the pool. As we were leaving, the Sister that we had with us invited the man to dinner at her house. He said that he would check to see if he had anything going on and would come if he can. Well, lo and behold on Wednesday we headed over to dinner at Sister Penrod's house and John showed up! We were both really excited, and I was excited mainly because I've never had that happen before.

 

On Friday we met with Brother Laws, a less active member (due to his health). We read a chapter from the Book of Mormon with him and had a lot more time leftover than planned. Sister McNeil pulled out her iPod to listen to a Conference talk, and I suggested that we listen to President Uchtdorf's talk. As we were listening, Sister Laws (who isn't a member) stopped and listened in. Halfway through she asked curiously, "Who is that?" You see, Sister Laws is from Germany, and she was curious as to who was speaking with a German accent. So we talked to her about the Apostles and were able to talk about the priesthood and a little bit about the Restoration. It was super awesome because right before we came into the area, Sister Laws started showing interest in the gospel but we haven't been able to meet with her until Friday. Yay!

 

Also, transfers is this week! Sister McNeil is being transferred, which was a shock to the both of us. But it was a fun transfer, and I look forward to staying in Medford. And the fun new is: I'M TRAINING AGAIN. It was funny because I gave President a call on Saturday, and he said, "Well, while I have you on the phone... will you train again?" I joked that I just shouldn't have called him, haha. 

 

Fun story: we had dinner with a part member family earlier in the week. We showed up, knocked on the door, and...... it wasn't them. However, the family that we accidentally knocked into were super nice to us, and he told us to come back if we needed anything. So we were like, "Maybe 302, not 802." So we walked to another apartment, knocked, and...... it wasn't them. The guy just looked super confused and I just said, "Wrong house again. Sorry!" Well, we eventually found the right apartment, but it was pretty funny. Missionaries are just awkward.

 

Love you!

Moving. Of course we're going to take pictures outside...
