Sister Roberts and I have started joining the Drumm family on Sundays for Spirit Time! I am addicted!! Every night they gather their family together and have an opening song, a prayer, then they do something spiritual like on Sundays they share what they have learned in church. Other days they sing songs or read the scriptures and then they close with a prayer. It is genius!! They have 6 kids all under the age of 10. I think that is impressive! Sister Drumm heard a talk and they said if you spiritually feed your children everyday then they are less likely to stray and if they will be able to find their way back easier. I love that! Something I will definitely be doing with my future family.
So as we are walking up to their home their 3 year old Chelsea sees us and starts running around yelling "The missionaries are here the missionaries are here" She had the biggest grin on her face and it made my whole day!! I love little kids they always put a smile on my face!
When we walked in and sat down, Shelby, who is 4 or 5 saw me and ran and cuddled right up to me! She is adorable she had me walk her to her primary class on Sunday! I just felt right at home!
Emilee then sang us a song she wrote and played the guitar! I was impressed! Then she told me that she decided that she wanted to go on a mission after I gave my talk in sacrament! I talked on Mothers Day about why I decided to serve a mission! I was so excited to hear that my talked helped someone want to serve as well! She is super cute and is now Kiera's new pen pal!! They are so much a like.
This is definitely a highlight of my week! Family is so important and I definitely miss my family! It has been nice having a family away from family. I really admire the Drumms because they put their focus on family and they keep it there! They are raising their kids to love the gospel and to love each other! "Family time is sacred time and it should be protected and respected."
They call me Young, Sister Young
Haha ok ok ok so one of my investigators, Norm, has decided it is like a sin to know my first name but he has been so curious what my first name is!
He decided to guess one day and he thinks I look like a Linda, Nancy, or a Theresa.
On Friday we had Nick (member) come to Norms lesson! Norm was so excited to show Nick all he has learned.
He goes "Ooo Oooo watch this, I get to pick who prays because the Sisters say I am in charge." hahahe is so funny!
Then he gets real serious and looks at Nick and says "Nick I have sinned, SIster Young over there left her Bible closed one day and I saw what her first name is...and it is not Gertrude."
Hahaha I was laughing so hard. Nick thinks he is funny and responds saying, "Norm have you confessed this to a catholic priest yet because that is pretty serious." They were both on one!
Lets just say it took a little to get to the lesson but we finally got there!
TORNADO
"And there will be tornadoes in diverse places" Haha I do not know what the heck is up with this weather! So I am about to tell you a true story...it is so true they may put it in the Book of Mormon one day! Ok that is a lie but I do have a true story that is pretty funny!
Sister Roberts and I were out and about missionarying around like we do. We were walking and it was nice outside and after a lesson we came out to a calm rain. Jessica asked if we would like a ride and we agreed because we were running a little late.
By the time we got to our apartment to get our car it was raining pretty hard. We got in our car real quick and drove to Indra's and by this time it was coming down pretty good with a lovely wind. We hurried into Indra's store. She welcomed us with a look of shock!
She says, "Girls don't you know better than to be out in a storm like this?"
Haha we were like uhm... no!
Haha she then shows us this weather thing on her phone and there was this red coming towards us and a hook and she said something about a tornado and to get home NOW! Wonderful right??
Haha so then we hurry home and bunker down in our hallway ON THE THIRD FLOOR like Indra told us too! Haha we were panicking and grabbed my mattress and put it in the bathroom just in case. (I kid you not we really did that)
hahaha I am laughing just thinking about this!
We sat there for like 20 minutes and I went to check outside and it was just as Sun shiney as could be! Haha I was like Sister Roberts come on we have lessons to get to! hahaha we both felt silly and left!
At this point... I really wish I could say I was just kidding...but I can't! Hahaha Sadly enough it is all true! don't worry the Lord truly protects His Missionaries!
