Desserts, Death, and Driving
This week’s email is going to be short. It was kind of a tiring week and the keyboard I’m typing on is dumb so I have to push really hard and my fingers are already tired 2 sentences in. Apparently I need to do more finger exercises to strengthen them.
We have a family that’s going to be baptized on Saturday!!!! They had their interviews this week and they’re getting so excited. Stephanie said she was going to start telling people and announce it on Facebook. I’m so proud of her and her kids. I love them so much!
On Valentines Day we got to go out to dinner with a single lady in the ward. She took us to a fancy steak place (the steak was AMAZING!) and we got to ride there in her Tesla. If you know anyone with a Tesla, have them give you a ride. She hit the accelerator and you can literally feel your head being pushed back into the seat you’re going so fast. It was awesome and Sis Evans and I decided that all the missionaries should start getting Teslas. Sometimes we’ll hit the gas in our car and pretend we’re in a Tesla. But it’s just not the same.
We also went to a cemetery this week. We’re having trouble finding people to teach and one of the finding ideas is “put your name on lists at hospitals or funeral homes as clergy who will talk to people in crisis” so we decided to try it. We went in and asked if we could put our names on a clergy list and the lady told us to write our names down. While Sis Evans was writing our names down she saw that the lady was filling out death certificates so she whispered “are those death certificates?” The lady looked at her like she was mentally unstable. I don’t think she put our names down for clergy to help people in crisis.
Sis Evans and I decided this week that we were going to eat better so that we could be healthier. We went a whole day without sugar! Then we had a rough day so we needed some ice cream. And then the next day we went to town and had ice cream and chocolate and chocolate pie and candy and cheese cake. Eating healthy officially down the drain. We had a good run though.
Well that’s the scoop. We’re getting smartphones this week so look forward to hearing about that next week!
Ciao,
Sister Schroeder
