there's a ton of fun times out here. Transfers are next week tho so
the 3-pack is probs getting split. I have no idea what will happen but
I'm sure it will be good no matter what. Newberry is dope tho I love
it here. Church is always way fun cause our ward is like half southern
rednecks and half crazy black people so it's pretty wild. This week
the speaker told a joke and some of the black people in the
congregation were cracking jokes back and clapping lol. Also I love
the ghetto of hoodberry and all the crazy people there are. You see
some wild stuff, but I feel 100% safe riding my bike past what I
expect to be a trap house hahaha. This week had some pretty cool stuff
tho!
I crashed my bike when I was going down a hill:( I fell on some gravel
lol but I'm good mom:)
This week we got chased and driven off the road by a less active
member. We had to reschedule for the next day and he wasn't
answering his phone, so we went to his house that is out in the
country. He was in his shop and we didn't know, so we assumed he
wasn't home and left. Apparently he didn't see who it was and was
yelling to us, but we didn't hear so we just drove off. He bought we
were running. Now this guy was in the military, ran a martial arts and
boxing gym for years, and used to be a pro rally car driver, so he's
pretty wild. He ran to his truck and started chasing us down the dirt
road. We were going like 50 and had no idea he was coming. He caught
us going like 90 and pulled in front then hit his breaks to pull us
over. He got out freaking pumped ready to kill someone, then saw it
was an old man and us 3 missionaries in the car and calmed down. He
to,d us he had a gun and was about to throw down cuz he thought we
were robbing him lol. Then we taught a quick lesson and rescheduled
our appointment:)
On Thursday the BYU women's soccer team was playing Oklahoma in the
playoffs, at USC's soccer stadium. One of the players on the team and
a sister in our mission are sister so everyone in the Columbia and
West Columbia zones got to go!! It was so fun to get to watch some
sports again! 2 of the Elders tried to make us into like a student
section and run cheers, it reminded me of my gentile days but I
controlled myself and didn't go up and get going like the old days.
BYU won 2-1, so we had a celebratory dinner!
We went to HuHot which is a Mongolian grill in West Columbia that is a
lot like Charlie Chows in Salt Lake. The AP's, 2 sets of zone leaders,
and a couple of other companionships, so there was like 15 of us
eating. While we were eating the waitress came up to us and said the
guy that just left paid like $150 for all of our food, and that we
need to tip tip our server and keep working hard! That's how to be
Christ-like right there. Thank you for all the prayers it seems to be
paying off!
On Friday night, since the soccer team won we had a fireside with
them!! 3 of the players spoke and the 2 sisters both spoke. They all
did way good and were pretty motivational not gonna lie. It was cool
to see hear the stories they have had through sports and how Heavenly
Father has always been watching over them. There were 2 bountiful
alumni on the team and I talked to them for a while:) I talked to
their families and some people that live like 2 minutes from us back
home lol. Small world.
Mission life is way good! I'm happy and enjoying myself! We have a
baptism this Saturday so way pumped for that! Our whole coming week is
planned out to where we have to plan people for next week. We're doing
good out here and enjoying it! Hope y'all have a great week!! Luvs
