This week was amazing! On Wed. we helped clean a recent convert's
home...yeah it wasn't the cleanest house..but Sister Tavenner and I made
the best out if it! The lady had us clean the counters, and her
floor..and she has a dog and cats and they had left "gifts" all over the
kitchen floor and the living room...who knows how long it was there,
but it was smelly. She had also purchased Swiffer wipes for us to mop
the floor but they were the wrong kind! haha and so I mopped where it
wasn't contaminated first so we didn't spread any germs around the whole
kitchen...and then we got to the dirty mess and had to move the kitchen
table cuz it was all underneath the table, and my comp and I were like
this Swiffer stuff is not goin to clean this bacteria..So I ask the Lady
if she has any vinegar and she couldn't find any. So we ended up using
this spray stuff that was orange we had used to wipe the counter down
and we sprayed it on the floor..then it was too bubbly and soapy! haha
so we had to poor water to tame it down and my comp. and I were slipping
every with our shoes on because the whole floor was wet and we could
only be there for an hour so we had to walk on the wet part...it was the
funniest thing cuz I was mopping and sister Tavenner was pouring water
in front of me walking on the wet part, and she was trying not to slip
and fall (it was a you had to of been there moment) but
anyways...Thursday was a long day we had to go to a ford dealer that was
out of our area..we waited like 20 miles...and the guy fixed the oil
button thingy in like 2 seconds! so we realized we could've just called
them instead of drove all the way there, and because we had spent so
many miles we ended up walkin 5 miles and saw a ton of members in our
ward and they were all honkin at us and it was hot and humid but it was
fun :) I crashed that night! Friday we did exchanges with the STL's and
that was interesting I stayed and had to drive we had a good lesson with
one of our investagators, and she is thinking about being baptized this
month! And she said she believes that its is true! Sis. Tavenner went
with Sis. lortz to the ysa ward and Sis. Lorts got bit by a dog.. so
they didn't have a productive day cuz you have to report it as
a missionary no matter how bad it is. and then she went to urgent care
and all that jazz so she was excited to come back. Then on Saturday we
helped Sister Singleton (relief society pres.) with the missionary mall
that they are doing...(the whole stake is donating clothes, shampoo and
conditioner, body wash, tooth paste tooth brushes etc...for sisters and
elders) and she needed help to organize everything out she fed us lunch.
And then we helped another member with his lawn and he taught me how to
mow!!!! both ways on the motor and the pushing way...man it was a work
out. but it was fun! So far my comp. and I are staying together this
next transfer so I should be stayin in Sharpsburg! :) we haven't heard
anything yet so that is what we are assuming :)
I love you
guys and I am so grateful for you and your prayers! I love this
opportunity to serve The Lord and to spread The Gospel. It has been such
a HUGE blessing to meet new people here in GA!
