Dang it. As soon as I walked into the library today I realized I'm not wearing any green. I'm a St. Patrick's Day dud. Oh well. Pretty sure no one will pinch me out here.
So we found the phone. The next day. It was neatly tucked away into Sister Goble's folded skirt. Yup.
The weather was a bit nicer this past week. There was actually sunshine to the point where you could feel the warmth of it on you. No, that doesn't happen often.
Embarrassing moment of this week: Sister Goble and I were making some copies in the church library before our meeting. In the meantime, we also began to break out in song. Naturally, I grabbed the stapler and started singing into it and just as I did that I turned around to see a head peering into the door laughing. It was our Zone Leaders (the two missionaries that are over a whole Kent area of missionaries). They proceeded to make fun of us for the rest of the night. I knew I shouldn't have picked up that stapler.
It's really funny when people try to hit on missionaries. A few days ago we were at a red light and there was this macho man truck next to us with two guys in it. They decided they wanted to rev their engine for us. We just laughed to ourselves and said "If only they saw our name tags." People are funny.
Our mission is starting a mission choir and we had our first practice on Saturday. It was pretty good. Sister Goble insisted that I sing the song I made for the people in charge because they were doing solo little audition things. We are trying to put piano music to it now.
This next piece will probably only make me laugh because it was most likely something that's only funny if you saw it, BUT I'm going to write it anyways. I have never laughed so hard for the past 8 months. We were leaving our house and the Carters (our neighbors) were outside. Their little boy is 2. We asked if he wanted a popsicle, of course he said yes. So we gave it to him. And their golden retriever apparently wanted one too because he basically attacked the little boy. But this little boy was determined. For the next 5 minutes the little boy held his popsicle in the air and frantically spun in circles as the dog spun around him trying to get it. He even tripped and continued to spin on the floor (all the while the popsicle was held up from ever touching the ground). He got to his feet again and continued. The dad simply laughed and said "Survival of the fittest!" What a dad. The little boy ran over to a chair and climbed over the arm rest all with one hand. He made it to safety and ate his popsicle finally, but it was the most funny scene ever. If only you could've seen it. Sister Goble and I were crying.
Lake Sawyer ward is seriously full of the most loving people. I'm so humbled by how much they always want to do for us. It's ridiculous. We had a member take us to dinner last week and another buy us boots and the list goes on and on. These people are God loving people and you can see it by the way they treat their brothers and sisters and I can feel it by the way they treat me. I'm so grateful for them.
Aside from some sad news that the two girls who were planning on being baptized this weekend actually won't be, we have had some other miracles unfold. There was something that a departing Elder said before he left that has always stuck with me. "God's work will be done regardless of us and what we do, it's simply are choice if we want to be a part of it or not." I am so grateful that I am a part of it. And we all can be. :) That's the best part. This Sunday we were surprised to see an investigator at church. He didn't tell us he was coming. His mom didn't know either and that was the sweetest part. He was sitting right behind her and "hushing" us so we wouldn't ruin the surprise.... well eventually she turned around and saw her son (as in adult son, he's 52 and she's in her 70's) sitting there. She of course, broke down in tears. It was beautiful.
Something unique about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is we believe that our Spirits existed before we came to earth. We lived with God as His spirit sons and daughters before we came here to earth. He created this Universe. And he created this earth for us specifically as a place where we could learn and grow. :) Here's another science-ish/religious video. ;)
Until next time,I'll be doing it the Federal Way.
Much love,Sister Pearson :)
