When feeding puppies is service, you're in a good place :)

Gosh, I hate the anticipation of transfer calls--especially since this was the first time I really had no idea if I was staying or leaving. Aaaand I'm leaving, which is kinda sad 'cause we've got a lot of exciting stuff going on, but I'm always up for new adventures :)


We had a lot of really cool things happen this week. We went over to H's on Wednesday. She started out by asking if we could start coming Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. We gladly agreed! At the end we asked the boys if they wanted to be baptized, and they both said yes! So they're getting baptized in a couple weeks :)

Also, B--the awesome marine from Bloomington got baptized on Friday! But unfortunately we couldn't make it :/

And D continues to be wonderful :)

On Tuesday, we spent a chunk of the day inside 'cause Sister Mumford wasn't feeling so good, we were kinda unmotivated as we headed out in the evening to go meet a less active lady who'd moved in from Shelbyville. She wasn't there again, but we met her sister. She said that she was kinda busy 'cause she had some puppies to feed. We offered to help, and she gladly accepted. When feeding puppies is service, you're in a good place :)

On Saturday, we had the missionary dream come true. We had about an hour and a half before dinner, so we parked in a neighborhood across the street, intending to go check back on some people we'd previously met. We ended up spending about an hour in the car just coordinating things for the next day. The whole time, these people whose house we were parked outside kept coming out and going back in, probably wondering what two creepy girls were doing sitting there in a car. Eventually, the lady backed out of her driveway--in her car, of course--and pulled up to our window to see what we were up to. To make a long story short, we are now teaching her. We always dream about people coming to us, and sometimes it happens!

That's all I gots for today. I could be anywhere next week! I've got it mostly narrowed down to IU, IUPUI, or South Bend. We'll see!

Much love, and warm weather!

Aaaand sometimes getting out of the car isn't as easy as it should be :/ #skirtsinthewind
