KOKO (In honor of Sis Collins) (August 26, 2013)

QUEEKLY:
ok this week we got our car taken away because i started giving homeless people RIDES!!!
jk jk jk we just had transfers and got put in part time car OMG FIRST WORLD PAINS.
literal.
so.much.walking. but i LOVE it im like a 80 year old grandma at heart because i LOVE walking, KANSAS IS GORGEOUSSSSSSSSSS
think like Sacred Grove....but EVERYWHERE its so so so awesome.
90 degree weather with 100% humidity......so so so not awesome. but we meet like AWESOME people walking!?!? i.e. people invite you in not to talk about the gospel but to give you water?!?! and "cookies" called narnia cakes?? and we're like
"WHY are you so nice......jointhechurch...Wait what? Oh i said cool coin purse....."
no. but serious these people are like "oh missionaries...i have no time to talk to you....wait do you want some water? come in and chat and talk about how i am a free lance journalist for CNN....Book of Mormon MUSICAL....oh but no no no I dont want to talk about religion...." #HARD

we had our investigator on date, Melissa, tell us yesterday that she had doubts because she was afraid of being "dunked" im like WOMAN THIS IS NOT NBA BASKETBALL THIS IS YOUR SALVATION. DO YOU TAKE A SHOWER???? ITS LIKE THE SAME THING!!! BITE THE BULLET DANG IT. probably not the right approach......but we'll work on that PRAY FOR HER.

We moved in to the ELDERS apartment........(ree ree ree ree ree <---scary like squeaky music you know?....sad attempt)
TRINITY OF TERRIBLE
ANYWAY walk in....bathroom....just like NIIIIGHTMARE.
1. First night = GIANT beatle/cricket/loch ness monster on the ground??!? LIKE WHOOOO is supposed to kill that??? So they left their tennis rackets so we gained like ALL courage to throw a towel over it and just started attacking it with this racket.....turns out it is IMMORTAL??? So we lift up the towel....STILL LIVING.. start smashing again....FLIES OUT AND LANDS ON THE TABLE!!?!?!? we're like what the, Twilight-Bug?????
Anyway that was NOT an adventure I wanted to have....
2. Next night, saying our prayers....gurgling in the bathroom "WHAtthe".........
FOAM FOAM JUST SPEWING OUT OF THE TOILET
SO.MUCH.FOAM.
it smelled like lilacs like laundry detergent you're like "mhmm delicious...WAIT this is the toilet????" so i thought oh, flush it. NO explosion.
SUCH a disaster...no towels...except the towels we use on our BODIES ..........awkward eye contact like who will volunteer theirs first.......FINE we both will make it even.
3. tiny toaster....tried to shove this GIANT bagle from panera (btw THE BEST BAGLES EVER???) doing something else....look over...FLAMES!?!?!?! that was 100% my fault...but we still blame the Elders.
I have videos of all of this but its too big to send but just know it is SO classic.

Lawrence is AMAZE. Since the Elders transferred we now have DOUBLE the teaching pool which actually is just SO overwhelming?? like i feel like so many people are falling through the cracks but HOW could we ever complain about TOO much work!?!? yeah never.

KOKO.
Sorry so short CRAYZAY busy day. More next week.
LOVE YOU ALL

Love,
Sister Murray
