AND.... Random/Funny Stories

It was POURING rain last week....POURING. A member told us to meet them at a restaurant and they would buy us lunch. It was raining so hard that in walking from the restaurant to the car we literally looked like we had jumped into a swimming pool. We were all sopping wet. The Elders had to ride their bikes and their shoes and backpacks were full of water. They had to dry off the floor when we left because there was a puddle surrounding our entire table. lol...we all had to go home and change before we could go out again.

Bad things happen when you try to "return the favor" and serve the elders... The Elders sometimes ask us to go pick up their bikes. If they're in a hurry members will give them rides and their bikes will be left on the other side of the city. Usually we don't go because we don't have a bike rack, but one day nobody could help them and they were desperate, so we went thinking that we could fit two full size bikes into the back of a Toyota Corolla. By the time we found the apartment and figured out how to take the bikes apart (because there is absolutely NO WAY to fit two bikes into the back of a car) it had been an hour and a half, and they missed 2 appointments. They don't ask us for help with their bikes anymore.. Ooops.

President Jackson randomly invited sister Cowley and I over for breakfast last week which we were excited about! He told us they invite groups of missionaries over once in a while for breakfast and this time it was us. We assumed it would be with other missionaries, but we got there and it was the assistants and us... Super awkward. They talked about transfers the whole time and then asked us to leave right when we finished eating because they had to have a meeting. BUT the food was delicious lol.

and I officially made it through my first transfer!!! I'm staying in Yerba Buena with Sister Cowley :)


Have a good week!
