This week was fun! Looking back it had the makings to be a kind of stinky week, but it wasn't that bad. All of the sunshine probably helped. Yes. It FINALLY got warm here. Blessed day.
You know the week is going to be entertaining when it starts with a man stopping in the middle of the road, getting out of his car, and moving a turtle across the road with his foot. ONLY in Florida.
Speaking of weird animal experiences...Sister Jeromchek and I were driving down the street to a neighborhood where we were planning on contacting and we saw this runaway wiener dog. So we pulled over and started chasing after this wiener dog. Stinking dog ran fast! But we kept chasing it. Who wouldn't open the door to two girls holding a lost wiener dog? No one could deny that. We saw at least 3 baptisms coming from that runaway weenie dog. We kept up the pursuit, but alas, we did not catch it. In fact, we lost track of it. Then Sister Jeromchek stepped in one of it's presents that it left behind. That was less than fun. Stupid dog.}
That was my email from about 3 weeks ago. It was too glorious not to send. I KNOW, I know. I shouldn't toot my own horn, but I really enjoyed it.
So this week didn't really happen, did it? Just kidding, it did. It was a good week! Also, we are going to get this one out of the way. I AM being transferred. I'm going to Gainsville, which is where the University of Florida is. I'm going to be in a Young Single Adults ward. Pause. Let us hark back to my first email in Florida. For your convenience I will copy and paste, because ain't nobody got time to scroll back that far. (You're welcome)
"This transfer 12 new areas were opened and I'm in one of them, which means... drum roll... I get a new apartment and a new CAR. That's right. A CAR. Heavenly Father answers prayers y'all. He listens. He does. Deep down I know that I'll be in a bike mission in the dead of summer though... I should have thought this one through better... "
Welp. I did it to myself. I, Sister Laura Perkes, am getting a bike. Yes. Those two wheeled death contraptions that I haven't been on since I was 14 years old riding around the neighborhood with Jennifer Clontz. I consciously remember thinking, "I hate bikes. I'm never riding one again." This is real. I've already started praying. Please pray for my everyone.
Well I hope you've stopped laughing by now. Now for a mildly terrifying experience. We were going to an appointment with a member in an apartment complex and we were early, so we went to go try and see this less active member we have never seen. So we were walking to where our appointment was after no luck with the less active when this pretentious lady jumps out of her Fiat and asks us if we are lost. Apparently she calls herself the manager of this place of residence. She was quite rude and apparently didn't like it when we told her that we weren't soliciting and that we had an appointment, so she followed us around until we left and took down our license plate number. What a crazy, crabby lady. She must not like Jesus, which I just do not understand. He's the best.
This week was also the General Women's Broadcast. It was magical and I loved every second of it. So many really neat things happening. There are too many miracles for this Church to not be true. If you think about it none of this could happen if it wasn't true. God HAS to be leading this church. No mortal man could make things work this smoothly by his own intelligence.
This week has been full of interesting cleaning experiences.... The most interesting was when we helped a lady clean out her closet. We were there for 3 hours. 3 HOURS. We took 6 garbage bags to Goodwill. She had this pair of pants that was her husband (who has been dead for at least 2 years) and they were rather large. I jokingly said that me AND sister Jeromchek could fit in them, so we had to try it out. We also found some really great earmuffs. They made cleaning that much more fun (she had 4 pairs).
Watch out. There are lots of really great pictures coming yallz way.
Us in the pants!
love you all and hope you have a marvey week!!!
love,
Sister Perkes
Me with Sister Smedley! She came for a visit!
Me with the Sheppards.
Brother Sheppard is our ward mission leader and he and his wife were in the
chastity pamphlet.
Sister Jeromchek and I bought these GIANT apples. You can't really tell how big they are, but trust me. They are BIG. Really BIG.
