Hey Everyone!
Wow! This has been a super crazy week! Mary was baptized on Saturday!
We had to teach her everything in a week and a half! It was crazy! We taught
like 4 lessons in one night! The member we had with us was a total trooper and
went along with the whole thing. She just wants to know everything! She is way
cool. Ok so now I will go by one day at a time because it is easier to remember
things that way. Not that I can remember anything as it is. My companion says I
have a freakish memory of all the rules and every training I have ever heard
about anything so I guess that is crowding out all other information in my
brain! I guess it's like when I had a freakish memory of so many things at the
pharmacy. Now I forgot what I was going to say. Alright well we will start with
Monday. Monday we went to see Tina to see how she was doing and on Monday she
was doing well! We saw one of the recent converts named Barbara and she told us
the person who is also a recent convert who rents a room from her named Wilbert
was in the hospital because he had a stroke! Now he is in an assisted living
facility. He is recovering a lot faster than they thought he would so that is
good. Tuesday is when we taught the marathon lesson to Mary. I had a huge
headache after that was over! We taught her the Gospel of Jesus Christ, Tithing
and fast offerings, Word of wisdom and law of chastity! It was crazy. Wednesday
we were supposed to have a lesson with Tina on Wednesday but she wasn't there
and she wasn't answering her phone! This is the start of the drama that was Tina
this week! Just wait, it gets better. Wednesday evening Mary had her baptismal
interview. She passed of course. Thursday we had ZTM. It was ok! Not the best
that I have been to but that's ok. I got to see Sister McNeely again! That was
fun. We also got a brand new car! I guess mission cars get sold when they get
over 50,000 miles and ours was over that so on Thursday we got a brand new 2015
Toyota Corolla! It is super duper nice! Although the new car smell does make me
slightly naseous sometimes. We had dinner with the Bishops family that day and
Bishop was telling us all sorts of crazy stories about his mission! He went to
the same mission in Taiwan his parents had been mission presidents of. Then
while he was on his mission his parents got called to be the temple president of
the temple in Taiwan and for the last 6 months of his mission he lived in the
same apartment complex as his parents! There were just all sorts of crazy
stories. Then life was pretty calm until Saturday afternoon. Saturday morning
was really nice, we had Mary's baptism and it was just great. We were feeling
great and happy and then in the afternoon we got a call from this sister in the
ward saying she was on her way to pick up Tina for her baptism! Mind you we
hadn't been able to get in touch with Tina since Monday and had not been
planning for her to be baptized! It was a huge mess and we got majorly chewed
out by the member for not letting her know, which was partially our fault but we
didn't know she was going to pick Tina up so not all our fault! She had a lot of
other things stressing her out so mostly she just kind of needed to rant. She is
an interesting lady so we just let her vent. I kind of felt like I was back at
the pharmacy. Well we ended up baptizing Tina Sunday after church because she
didn't want to wait a whole week! We also baptized her daughter. So lots of
prayers for them that they make it through this week and to church next Sunday
so they can be confirmed! That was basically my crazy week! I am running a
little short on time so there isn't a spiritual thought this week! I will just
challenge everyone to choose one thing from conference to work on and improve!
That is my week in a nutshell! Have a great week everyone and I love you
all!
Love,
Sister Price
