This week’s adventures took us back to where we started in
England. We were summoned back to the
office to help out with transfers. Dave
helped in the office while I helped with meals.
The first day we made, I think they called it Café Rio? I thought it tasted just like the pulled pork
salad at Costa Vedas that just opened a little while ago in Kennewick. The next day we made the big meal for lunch
and made my chicken enchiladas. We were
just feeding 28 but as it turned out it was like we fed the 5000. Elders just kept coming out of the
woodwork. The first 28 are the only ones
that got the enchiladas the others got left over rice, salad along with chips,
bread, peanut butter and jam and left over rice crispy treats cut smaller. That night the 28 new elders and their
trainers got a Greggs Sandwich and cookies to take with them on their travels
home.
The next day the Kearls took us to IKEA on our way back
home. We were looking for an end table
and lamp. We didn’t find anything we
liked there and ended up just buying a bulletin board, to hang the letters we
get in the mail, (Thanks Nancy, Jeff, Carter, Mackenzie, Madison and Ashlynn)
and two broken boards to make shelves in a closet.
We found our end table this morning at our friendly thrift
store for 25 pounds. It was actually
three tables. They are what they call
nesting tables. We called the Zone
leaders and asked them to pick us up at the store instead of our apartment so
they could take them home for us. We had
an appointment with the Zone Leaders to visit a lady named Sarah. We had a very good visit with her and she
said that we can come back. It was a
referral from a lady in our Ward. Sarah
also lives in Sidcup not far from us.
She was a very nice lady that thought that because she was divorced that
we wouldn’t want her. She had a brain aneurism
a couple years ago and it is a miracle she is still living.
The last two days we have spent mapping out and going to
visit new converts in our ward. We have
found that 5 out of the 6 we have gone to have moved and the other one no one
has been there to tell us if they live there or not. It would really be nice if we could get
addresses for all of these but that is just too much to expect.
So this brings me to the trip home from visits. I had my camera in my purse and took some
pictures of how close all the houses are and there are soooo many. Then I decided to take one of the traffic in
front of us on the bus that shows how small the roads are. Kinda like in Seattle. Well little did I know that I would be taking
a series that led up to a five minute bus trying to pass a bus on a small road
with cars parked on both sides of the street.
Both buses had to pull their mirrors in so they didn’t rip each others
off. The one bus just stopped while ours
tried to get past it inch by inch. I
still can’t believe he made it. The bus
drivers here are just unbelievable. They
can weave in and out and turn the buses on a dime, and all while driving on the
wrong side of the street!! Oh that’s right, that’s how they do it around here.
We LOVE IT!!!!!!
