So funny story: Me and sis. Robbins and a woman from our ward, Sis.
Clark were all in a car on our way back from an appointment. All of us
are in our early twenties and pretty cute. We are stopped behind a few
cars at a red light and are next to a run-down, punked-out,
in-need-of-a-paint-job car with two college age boys in it. They are
blasting music out their open windows and trying to talk to us and get
our attention even though our windows are up. Then they start revving
their engine. haha, we of course notice them even before this but now we
are paying more attention to them because the light it still very red
and they are being silly at this point. Especially because there's two
sister missionaries who are very unavailable, and sis. Clark is married
with an adorable child. So we aren't the best choice to try and impress.
Then they peel out, and run into the car that is stopped only a few
feet in front of them. They hadn't even looked at the light or in front of
their car. HAHahaha oh dear, those poor boys, and the poor car in front
of them! We shouldn't have laughed, but it was too funny to see! oh,
sadly, it made our day.
Miracle!!
We're teaching a woman named
Pauline. She's from Lyberia and loves to sing. So we're having the
lesson and the spirit smacks my heart and says to sing a song. Now I'm
not the first person to volunteer for a solo, so I volunteered us all to
sing together and we sang a few hymns. The spirit came into the room so
fast and so strong! She was very happy. She hadn't come to church
because she didn't feel comfortable coming, but after singing together
she said she'd come. And yesterday she was in Sacrament meeting and she
was singing her heart out! It was AMAZING!
This week we had a mission tradition... called somoans.
I don't know how they got started or if that's how you spell it. But in
the New Hampshire Manchester Mission these are mandatory to try. The
elders in our district were astonished that we had never tried one on
our own. Once we reminded them that we are sisters and have real cooking
skills and can make good food they demanded we try a somoan. They are
also very very very unhealthy. The ingredients are a package of chicken
ramen noodles, 1-2 eggs, two peices of toast, barbeque sauce, cheese,
and a hamburger patty or chicken patty or bacon. I had hamburger.
yeah... sounds gross... like an elder made it up... anyways... you boil
the ramen noodles whole for only 20 seconds or so. then you transfer it
to a fry pan and pour half of the scrambled egg on the top, let it cook a
bit, flip it over, pour the rest of the egg on it let it cook. Open the
noodles up and put in your meat and cheese. Fold the noodles closed
over the meat and flip to ensure cheese is melted. Remove from pan and
place on a prepared piece of toast. Slather with BBQ sauce and place
remaining peice of toast on top. CRAZY! Yes, it's a lot of food. Yes, I
did manage to eat it all. Yes, it was tasty. and No, I will not eat
another by choice :) haha, I've been told the bacon one is better... and
use syrup instead of bbq sauce...
