I feel like every week this transfer has been NUTS, but this week....it bets them all haha.
Monday..I became a official California Girl. I got my licence, but to be honest i thought i wasn't going to pass...there were about 10 questions on alcohol and the whole time all i could think was "how the heck should i know...I'm a missionary..." but thankfully i passed. The DMV worker thought it would be funny to trick me and tell me i didn't. BUT i did :)
Tuesday...So we got to take Sister Brown (one of the sisters we live with) to the doctors, she has been having really bad migraines and need to see a doctor. But the doctor was NUTS. He talked sooo fast and just kept telling her to do silly things like pat her knees and pinch her fingers. and as soon as she'd do it he'd yell "no! faster! faster! faster! " haha it was pretty funny. In the end though he gave her some new medicine...which ended up not being so good. But ill get to that later.
On Wednesday i got to go on exchanges. It was tough. The sister i was with was particularly bad at conversing with people. Me included. So...it was a long day. I think the best conversation i had the whole day was with an 80 year old woman who had just had a stroke and was learning how to talk again.
When i got home though i found out that sister Brown had been having bad reactions to the medicine and had been throeing up all day. and sister Christensen was taking in for an emergency root canal. So she was i horrible pain also...So we had to take care of them a little that night.
Thursday was awesome! well. Mostly..we did have to get Sister Christensen new medicine also because hers wasn't strong enough. But we took her to get ice cream at this delicious place called Handel's, and then went to the local college and set up out booth. When we got there the elders had set up the table right in the sun. AND IT WAS HOT. we were going to move but we realized that people were talking to us a LOT in that location so we stayed. It was awesome and we talked to TONS of people, gave out a few Books of Mormon, and set 3 return appointments! It was great, except sister Cook got burned really bad.
Friday i went on exchanges again....I was with a Sister from Monticello, Utah. And she is awesome! we had a blast together! We had a few lessons, but we also had a few uncomfortable door approaches that day, that we laughed about pretty hard later.
Saturday. Me and sister Cook FINALLY had our first investigator lesson together! it was soo good. We started teaching this girl named Jazmine, she's from LA but is dating a guy in our ward. She is a rock star and already committed to baptism and has already been to church 3 times! It was a little rough though because we haven't had the chance to teach much so we were out of practice :( BUT it still went well and we are so excited! We also went to Fontana that day and helped a member of our ward make sack lunches, and then we went and handed them out to homeless people in the parks. It was really fun. She is from a HUGE Tongan family and we were in the car with them and she would just yell out the window to people and throw them dinner. It was really fun.
Sunday was great, I think the highlight would be when i got home that night the sisters we live with told me i had a present on my bed. I went and got it and it was the shirt from Eric's Run! I was soo happy. They told me that some lady came, dropped it off and said she had worn it in the race but she didn't say who she was. I was so excited and i was seriously about to cry. I was so sad i couldn't be there but was so happy to have a little piece of it brought to me. SO thank you to who ever that was! (i think dad said kami wallace?)
Which brings us to today.. We had a tennis tournament for our zone activity. Mom i think you'd be proud to know i made it to the final round with my partner. We lost in the 5th match just barely. I guess your tennis skills got passed through the family :) I was really fun though.
And that was pretty much my week :)
I love and miss you all so much. I hope you are all doing well. By your letters it sounds like it.
Keep me updated. Thank you for all the letters :)
I love you,
Sister Redd
