What's up family!? So last Monday/p-day was absolutely beautiful. Not a rain cloud in sight, warm weather with a cool breeze...today, not so much! Rain Rain and more Rain! haha! Last week we had a picnic in the park with the other sisters close by us (Sisters Neal and Horvorka). It was lots of fun to just hang out the 4 of us girls. They wrote letters and painted and colored. I played on the swings and tossed the football to myself and ate broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, a wendy's frosty, pizza flavored pringles, and circus animal cookies! Haha! I listed the healthy stuff first to throw you off! I will send a pic of each one of us individually, I wanted to get one of the group of us but my camera battery died. :( I listen to the recording of Sister Chatwin singing and playing the guitar and look at all my pictures too much, and I forgot to charge my camera, so it died... Oh well! This week was pretty good! Not too many exciting stories to share, sorry! The work moves forward and we continue to try to find and teach people. Okay, here is a funny story that is not too funny and taught me something that I will never do again. I was calling the couple that we were going to be having dinner with the next day and they didn't answer so I left a message. They called back and we didn't answer because we were in a lesson, but they didn't leave us a message. So I called them back and when I did the husband answered the phone so I said, "Hi, can I speak to Sister 'So-In-So' please?" (I omitted her name) He said yes and handed her the phone. I proceeded to identify myself to her and make arrangements for dinner the following night. We hung up the phone and we continued planning for the next day. Next thing you know the phone rings and its the same people I just talked to so I answer and Sister So-in-so proceeds to tell me how rude I was in asking to talk to her and not wanting to talk to her husband and how this shouldn't be a habit. She asks me why I was like that and I told her how incredibly sorry I was and that I would not ever do it again and I had just assumed that she would know more about the dinner than he would have and continued to apologize many more times. I felt absolutely HORRIBLE and it never even occurred to me that I had done something wrong. If she hadn't of called me then I would never have known what I did and she would probably would have not liked me forever. I have decided to make a conscious effort that every time I call someone I will be more friendly to the person who answers the phone even if they are not the person that I think I should be talking to. Well we went to dinner the next night and I was thinking that it was going to be very awkward between us but it all was ok. They are a very nice couple and we had a nice conversation. She made us each a home made loaf of wheat bread which was super nice! We were just finishing up dinner and Sister so-in-so reached across the table to get something and spills her water...ALL OVER MY LAP! It was ice water and it was freezing! It ran all the way down my leg into my shoe, so cold! I am not sure why things always get to be spilled in my lap! haha... So hopefully she was able to feel bad enough about dumping her water on me that she forgave me for my unintentional phone "rudeness" the night before. The couple we live with has been out of town for the past week and so it has been fun to be in the house and not have to worry about how loud we are or walking into the kitchen and them having to mute the tv or what not. Its nice living with members but at the same time its very difficult because I feel like we can never really relax. On Saturday my grandma, Sister Cooper, who was Sister Chatwin's trainer and Sister Faamau's trainer came back to the mission with her parents to visit all the people she met while she was serving here. We didn't have a dinner appointment so they took us out to eat which was so much fun! They are awesome people and I know why people always talk about how amazing Sister Cooper is. I don't think a day went by when I was with Chatwin that she didn't bring up Cooper in some way, shape, or form. haha! It was a great dinner and I don't think I have ever seen Sister Faamau so excited and happy! We get to teach FHE tonight so say a little prayer for us. We will see how it goes! We get transfer calls this weekend can you believe its already been that long!?!?Me neither! I am excited to hear what's going to happen!! So its almost time to go and I want to make sure that I send pictures, so I hope you all have a great week and I love and miss you all!
