Amazing!



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!
