Reppin' That Gospel

December 9, 2014

We had transfers!! And, well, it was a surprise, that's for sure. So here's the story. Yesterday we had district meeting (probably the funniest district meeting I have ever been to) and afterwards, Sister Corbridge and I felt like going out for lunch. So we went to Applebee's. We sat down and she gets our phone out and says 'we have a missed call from President'- what?? So we went back out to the car and called him back. He said that both of us were training- suh-weet! We were all excited to be in a trio (because that was my prediction) until he said 'and Sister Munro, you and your new missionary will be moving to the elder's area. We're taking the elders out'. Holy cow! This is the second time I've whitewashed within the same ward! That doesn't happen. Anyway so Sister Corbridge will be in this area with her greenie and I will be in the elders' area with mine. Also both new missionaries are ASL! The elders were on bikes and all I had to do was ask and we now have a car for that area. Being a sister is the best. Also, weird situation, that was the district leader's area so now we have a new district leader AND the elders' house literally shares a wall with the zone leader's house. Yeah so now with sisters living literally next door to elders.... We'll see how long that lasts.

Speaking of district meeting, I have a quote from Sister Corbridge's letter:

"Yesterday we had district meeting and they're starting this new thing where the zone leaders record our role plays that we do so that we can watch and evaluate during comp study the next day! So we were watching ours this morning and oh my goodness I look like the biggest brat when I teach! Like when Sister Munro is talking I stand there with this awful look on my face as if I'm like smelling something sour! That was definitely a wake up call! I need to practice..not looking like the devil. "

Hilarious. There is definitely a picture of that coming.

Remember the awesome deaf investigator and son who came to church? Yeah well we were planning hardcore for them (even moved them to a big box on our whiteboard) when,can the middle of planning, he texts us and says this church isn't for him! Excuse me! Oh but he made it better by saying 'you can come over and talk friends not church'. Sorry, Andy, that ain't the deal. So yeah he dropped us.

Oh and the next day, we went to go visit our other investigator with a baptismal date and she says, in the middle of the lesson, "Oh! By the way, girls, I meant to tell you- I can't get baptized." She explains that she's been baptized before (we've been over this- the priesthood and things, so we talked about it again) and she's still hung up on how does one know the difference between a false prophet and a true prophet. She believes there is a true prophet on earth somewhere but I think she doesn't believe that anyone can truly know who he is. If no one knew who the prophet was, he wouldn't have many people to prophesy to, would he? Let's be real here.

Today we were walking into Walmart and we saw our elders (the ones being transferred out) and, bless their hearts, they bought a new filter for their tap and gave it to me, then told us that Hannah (the investigator who said the foulest of foul things to us and said to never come back) was in the store. Not gonna deal with that! So we went to Target instead. Whatever, I like Target better.

David, our investigator in Pakistan, sent us pictures of him at church! I'll attach them.

Okay well both of us are having a stupor of thought about what even happened this week so I guess that's all, folks!
