The people who live next door

Sister Cowley went home last month, she lives in Idaho. I got a letter from her this week that said she had missed her connecting flight home, and had to switch flights. Her family got confused about the time change and she said there was NOBODY to pick her up when she got off the plane. The funny thing is that she had a dream that that happened while we were companions and we always talked about how awful it would be. The missionary nightmare came true! :( In other words..I'll see you at the airport on the 27th. right? haha ;)

Things are going good here, we are going crazy with plans for the baptism, and interviews are this week and our car broke down...Hectic! But awesome. We are doing great and enjoying our last 2 weeks as companions. Sad :( We keep trying to figure out how we could possibly stay together, but so far it hasn't added up. If it happens we will both be stoked! We are having a good time, Sister England is hilarious. We taught the law of chastity to this couple the other day.. you would think that would be easy when they are a married couple. Which it was, they are great and totally in agreeance with everything. But they went off for like a half an hour about different ways that people break that commandment. By far THE most awkward conversation I have had on my mission. Sister England kept looking to me to translate what was going on, because I'm pretty sure it was clear how horrified I was. In the end I think we all laughed so hard we were crying. I have never been more grateful to have been raised in the bubble! Yikes.

We've been wanting to talk to the people who live nextdoor to us for ever, and this week they invited us over for dinner and a lesson. They are a Son and his mother here from Germany and she was raised there during WWII. She has some crazy stories. The lesson went really well, and they seem to sincerely want to learn more and to be closer to God. It's really neat that they live right nextdoor to us and that we see eachother every day. It's different when it's somebody you feel like you already know rather than just someone you knock into on the street. We are going to have a lot of fun teaching them and getting to know them.
