Ok first of all, it was so awesome to Skype! I think Mothers day is my new favorite holiday. I can't believe I only have one more Skype and then I will be home! We didn't get much done this week because my companion has been sick pretty much all week. It started out Monday when she kept getting these recurring bloody noses and I mean what good is tracting and visiting people when you're companion's nose is bleeding all over the place? So we stayed in Monday and then Tuesday we had exchanges with the Sister Training Leaders and that was really fun! For me at least, Sister McNeely (my companion) was miserable most of the time. Sister Frandsen came here to Columbus with me and we tracted a lot and also visited some part member families and less actives. We met some really cool people tracting and almost all of the less actives answered the door which never happens! Awesome things always happen on exchanges though. Then after we found one of the less actives we were getting in the car and there were some people looking at the house for sale next door and they started waving us over, which never happens. Then they asked what ward this was in and it turns out they are members in one of the neighboring wards and they were looking to move and so we chatted with them for a bit. It was fun! Well while I was having a good time with Sister Frandsen, Sister McNeely was miserable with Sister Maifiti up in a different area. I guess in both of their teaching appointments her nose started bleeding and then the last time it bled for like two hours so by the time I got her back on Wednesday (24 hrs later) she just looked awful. We made it back to our area and I told her to lay down so she slept for like four hours and then she just still looked terrible so we decided she needed a blessing. We went to the church because our ward mission leader was there for activity night with the youth. The Ward Mission Leader asked the Elders quorum president to assist with the blessing, it was good but then the Ward Mission Leader who is a Physical Therapist in the Military gave a big lecture to Sis. McNeely on how she needs to take care of herself. He is like Mr.Drill sergeant for the army but I think he is pretty funny. He also told her how she needs to eat properly and kind of like have a mind over matter type thing when she is having her nausea she sometimes gets when she eats. Anyway then I took her home and I started like forcing fluids down her to try and rehydrate her. It was a fun night! (not) It took her a while to recover and I decided we should take it easy because she was still super tired and I didn't want her to relapse or something. She is finally I think almost all back to normal so we should be able to have a normal work week this week. Then yesterday morning (Sunday) we got a text from one of our part member families! Her husband is a member but she isn't and she said that her husband wasn't going to make it to church but she still wanted to come so she wanted directions to the church! It was awesome! She came to church and I think she will come around, we just need to find her more friends in the ward, anyway that was super cool she wanted to come. She has a cute little girl about one years old that has RED HAIR! However as we were on our way to church we were approaching the gate to get out of our apartment complex and the person in front of us decided to back up and just backed up right into the side of our car! We still have the rental Malibu as our Cruze is getting the recall part still put in! That took a while to deal with so we were late to church. I feel like Satan is just really working against us the past two weeks so there must be some awesome things that are about to happen here in Columbus! I just had to deal with the mom of the girl who backed into us who was an angry white woman and "wasn't responsible for anything she said or did because she hadn't had her coffee yet!" Later though on Sunday we got to Skype and that was awesome! It was so good but also really weird to see all of you! It almost now seems like it was just a dream and it didn't really happen. I did get to read a lot while Sister McNeely has been sick! We have a bunch of Ensigns in the apartment so I have read all of them for about the last two years again. I have been reading conference ensigns again and this morning I read President Monsons talk about”The Race of Life” and I remembered how much I like that talk! President Monson is just awesome and every time I read or hear him speak I am reminded that he really is a prophet of God! Well I hope everyone had a great Mothers day and I hope everyone has a great week! I love you all!
Love,
Sister Price
