Pictorial evidence we found the EZ
Grill
Hello everyone!! I hope everyone had
a great week! We had a crazy busy week here in Arlington!
Last pday we went back to the zoo and
it was SO fun! We got to FEED THE STINGRAYS! Yep. It was crazy. We put these
little anchovies between our fingers and the stingray came and sucked it up
like a vacuum cleaner. It was wild. We also got to feed birds and they came and
hopped right on your hand! At one point I was feeding my little bird and he was
just chillin on my hand when this other bird swooped in out of nowhere and
landed on me and tried to steal the nectar. It was terrifying but I survived.
The JAX Zoo is 10/10 and I def recommend it
The zookeeper
called me a Komodo dragon whisperer
Tuesday was insane. We had to drive
all the way to Dunn Ave for district Meeting which is about 30 miles round trip
which took the last of our miles for the month. We decided to work from the
church the rest of the day so we took food and walked from there and went and
saw some people. We also had a few lessons planned for that evening at the
church. Our first lesson showed up 45 min late(bleh) and we had a crazy talk
where he rambled on and on and on (probably the moss) about how he thinks we
are all actually just solidified paint that has figured out how to talk and do
other stuff. Major kook hahaha so we didn't even get to teach much, which was
frustrating. After his lesson we had a Skype lesson planned with one of our
investigators! It was our first time and it was kind of weird getting used to
it but it was really awesome! They are really emphasizing us using our iPads in
our work so we are encouraged to do more Skype lesson with our investigators
and even Skype members into the lessons if they can't make it in person. Crazy
right? Technology is awesome
Later in the week we had been
contacting people for a couple hours and had just finished a super strange
lesson with one of our less active members. We were dead so we decided to head
to a nearby gas station to take a slurpie break. We were cutting through the
McDonalds parking lot when a lady ran right into our car. She was backing up
and wasn't looking and rammed right into the back end. No one was hurt which is
a blessing but our tiny slurpie break turned into about 2hrs of filling out
paper work and talking with the mission office. We might be without a car for
the next little while which will be a bummer. Yay for bikes!
Shawarma <333
Saturday we were out on the other
side of town contacting people and decided to go out somewhere for lunch rather
than driving all the way home. The elders always rant and rave about this
restaurant in their area called the "EZ grill" and this mysterious
food called shawarma. Seriously like 85% of our conversations with them are
about it. They go every week and call is shawarma Saturday hahaha so we decided
to hit up the EZ grill and try some...it was SO GOOD! It was a blessing and we
are totally converted to shawarma Saturday now hahaha
Well I think that's about it for this
week! We are teaching so many amazing people and meeting so many kooks and I'm
loving every second of being a missionary! I hope everyone is happy and well
out in the real world!
I love y'all! Have a blessed week
<3

One morning we were praying before leaving the apartment. We were standing by the door and I was saying the prayer when all of a sudden I feel the car keys un across my neck. Sister B was trying to Kill me mid prayer. She's such a kook haha!
