This week was kinda crazy, but super fun!
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday I have no idea what happened haha, because our phones have deleted all of our apps!! It's been a fun adventure and I'm excited to see what happens tomorrow without all of our plans that we made...
Friday we had district council and it was so cute because the elders threw Sister Macbeth a surprise pre-birthday party!! It was a lot of fun, they made cheesecake and sugar cookies and blew up a bunch of balloons that they taped all around the room! It was fun, It was also kind of super awkward because they had us sing happy birthday as the opening song and everyone started singing super high and it just sounded awful, Haha! Later that evening we had a lesson with J and C. That was interesting... Do you know how weird it is when you're a missionary and the people you're teaching tell you that they are evangelizing to you as well??? Well let me tell you, it's weird. I just think it's weird because the message we share adds to the knowledge that people already have. We aren't here to take what people have, throw it on the ground, stomp on it, and set it on fire!! We're here to give people more knowledge!! And so when people try to evangelize to us, it's like they're trying to destroy what we know, to take away from us the knowledge that we have and give us less. It's like someone is trying to take our real car that works perfectly and give us a cardboard box made to look like a car and say it's better! Anyways, haha it's fun...
Saturday we went to the Pease's farm up in Tunnridge and it was SO FUN!! I got to muck the stalls of the cows and then(!!!!!!!) I GOT TO MILK A COW!!!! If you know me at all, you know that that's been on my bucket list for years!!! It was awesome!! I'm horrible at it, but it was fun!! We also went up to Bethel and did THREE HOURS of finding... Maybe I sound like the most spoiled missionary on the planet, but that was a long time to be wandering around and by the time we got back in the car I was ready to crawl into bed and never leave it ever again. But then(!) when we made it back to the car we were about to go, but Sister Macbeth made me talk to this guy whose name is John! He was the first drunk person I've ever met! Haha! He was very nice and just seemed like he had a very hard life, but we sang him a song and then we prayed together and it was fun!!
Yesterday was Sister Macbeth's birthday!!! She turned 20 and it was so fun!! We went to church and had like 70 people tell her happy birthday!! And we sang a song in Sacrament meeting! We sang Peace in Christ and it was so fun and everyone was crying and it was just so good!! Then a family from the Hanover ward (we're in the South Royalton Ward) who knows Sis Macbeth came up and brought her a birthday cake with candles and pumpkin spice muffins and cards from everyone in the family! Then we went home and another family brought her a cake and the senior sisters who we work with got her a cute card! Then we went to sing to Sister Pease who is this super sweet old lady who lives in Tunbridge and can't come to church because she's too old and that was fun. Then we went up to Chelsea for dinner with the Gilman's and that was so fun!! They are just the cutest family and we had tacos and ice cream and birthday cake and we got to take some of the cake home. Then we went to Randolph to support Donna at her Baptist church and eat Romanian desserts! Then we drove back to Tunbridge to visit one of the members who threw Sister Macbeth a mini surprise party and gave her a shirt and cake and ice cream. So I don't know if you counted all that, but we now have 4 cakes sitting in our fridge at home!! Haha, it was so fun!!
I love this gospel, I love the Lord, and I love my Family!! Have an amazing week!! Don't forget that you are so loved!!
Love,
Sister Warburton :D
