Week!

Monday 2/27/2012

woke up- studied- went to library and wrote emails- went grocery shopping- went and ate dinner with the Grisham Family... on our way back from the Grishams, we decided to stop at Cold Stone and get Ice Cream..
BIG mistake

6:30pm - we skip into cold stone with a huge smile on our face and SO excited to get ice cream.
6.33pm- I debated on whether or not to get sprinkles.
6.33.58 pm- I decided yes on the sprinkles
6.37pm we skipped out of cold stone over to our car..

6.38pm- banks saw that TWO of our windows had been smashed- BOTH of our bags were stolen!!!

ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

They stole my pretty leather bag- my BRAND NEW scriptures- all my lipgloss- all my cash- my ministering certificate- and basically my life hahahaha
banks and i were DEVESTATED!
banks had her camera in her bag and it was sad.

so here we are...
scriptureless..
bagless..
ministering certificateless...
and hopeless..

and so we called our district leader...
who laughed at us.

then we called our vehicle coordinator who is in charge of all the cars in the mission (he is a senior missionary)
...and he got mad at us.

then we called the cops
..who actually helped us

then we called our Ward Mission Leader
...who saved us!

Our ward mission leader took us back to his house and helped us suck up all the glass, and put plastic on both the windows (the front passenger window, and back drivers side window were both shattered)
Banks and I got back in the car only to find that my seatbelt wouldn't work cuz it had glass stuck in it..

so I had to sit in the back seat.

we looked pathetic. hahaha we both started crying cuz we missed our scriptures, and then we were just sad.
We pulled up into our house and both (by habit) went to grab our bags.. only to be disappointed to remember that we no longer had them. hahahha we sat on the driveway and cried.

So far, in the first month of my mission, I have...

-Gotten sick every week.
-Drank Mouse poop
-Had my scriptures and bag stolen

I'm off to such a great start!

haha in good news-
we found 4 new investigators~
John, Lisa, Teta, D.

John is a former drug addict, and is so so so happy to have found the gospel. We are putting him on date for baptism tonight! yay!!!
Lisa has 3 kids, divorced, and is having a hard time paying bills- but she LOVES coming to church and loves how she feels at church.
Teta &D are married and have 4 kids- they are from Africa and are SO knoweledgable in the bible, it's great!
