Last Week's Letter

Hey, so there’s not much to report on for this week. It's been pretty uneventful for the most part. We have been  loving life here!! We taught Fummi and John and Word of Wisdom and for the first time John had a hard time with the teaching but it was really neat because Fummi  was behind the commandment.  They were willing to exercise faith.  Both of them kept saying, “it's too broad” and then they would ask if all these crazy drinks were ok. I kept telling them I don’t know what that is and on about the sixth drink that I didn't know John was like man either you need to go to Africa or you need to bring an African here so they can explain this to me because there is a miscommunication in language. Last Monday we had a lesson with them and we skyped  an Elder from Nigeria that is serving in our mission to help explain it a bit more. Come to find out, the so called tea that they didn't want to give up is essentially chocolate milk haha after reassuring they can still partake of that it went over a lot smoother. They still want to receive a conformation for themselves to believe in it wholeheartedly, which is exactly what we wish for them to do!!  

Sadly Jimmy and Chloe moved out of our area this week and into the Elders area.  It was really sad for me to hand them over, but I know they are in good hands and it will be good for them. 

Ok but funny story, so we were helping them move which was... um.... let's just say my OCD was freaking out they were in a rush and they just had to throw everything and anything they could see into a box and call it good.  (this will come into play in a bit)  not to mention they live on the 18 floor of the apartment. It was a good time, quite the workout.  We used the elevator but that only got us so far. There happened to be one box that had China in it and it had been clinking around already without putting it in a moving truck so I made the wonderful decision to place it into our car so that it wouldn't be tossed around. Ok so it was in our car, we finished the apartment and then we had to go to a lesson. We planned on meeting them at their house after to continue to help. We got out of our lesson and got into the car and itsmelled terrible I was honestly gagging it was so bad.  We could not figure it out it was terrible!!! We pulled up to their new house and Sister Pruitt went to go grab the box in the back seat and it split. Everything was coming out.  I ran up to the house to get a box and when I came back Sister Pruitt was leaning over about to throw up. In the box there had not only been china but about 8 types of raw fish. They had just been cooking in the heat of our car all day!  Man oh man! I almost wet my pants I was laughing so hard! Good times! Next time you move anyone who is Chinese, check for raw fish in the box before you put it in your car!!

Something kind of neat happened this weekend.  Sister Pruitt had some friends come into town and she got permission to have a lesson with them.  One is not a member and she agreed to take the lessons so she'll start that this coming week, which is cool.

As far as the rest of the week goes there's not much to tell that you that you don't already know so I'll leave it at that.  Short and simple 

Love ya all
Sister Kendrick
