So yep.......................STILL don't have a companion...........things have gotten WEIRD.
but awesome.
Since we are in the middle of a transfer they are waiting until the 18th to send me a companera. WUT.
So I've been bopping around town to all these different companionships which is fun.......................and exhausting.
Had a miniature melt down yesterday at Church (which sucks because OH who is in my Ward?? Prez Bell.)
But we talked it out and isss all good now! I mean I just question my purpose and my calling of life on a daily basis but you know....whatevs! Got the Spirit as my comp.
It's actually KIND of fun because blessing from da Lord this girl named Merriah moved home from BYU Idaho early and has been my pseudo-comp a few days?? So that's been weird/fun because she is TOTALLY NORMAL. Love her.
MURRCLE!! (get it like a Murray Miracle HAH just came up with that omg I'm so lame IT KILLS ME)
Ok so we get this HQ referral named CAROL. love her to pieces. Go to meet her, she's in a wheelchair, she's also like 68 and has CURAZY eyeliner....teach the first lesson....getting BAPTIZED December 15th-24th......baaasically any one of those days. Her cousin from Florida wants to fly in for it??? YEAH. All this...and we've only met the lady ONCE. #prepared #literal.
My old comp Sister Call and her new comp were my companions for a few days and she has this crazy intense GPS and her life is a little bit crazy intense like her nick name is the Russian Assassin.....ANYWAY they figured out to do "voice command" on the GPS.
NEEDLESS to say I was in the back seat literally dying like snorting trying to hold in my laughter as she is yelling in the most robotic voice "VOICE COMMAND- FIND DILLONS, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, No UP, DILL-ONS, no not drive thru, DILL-ONES, CANCEL,"
..................silence........................
"VOICE COMMAND"
So I only speak to her now in voice commands and I think it is super funny but no one else does......IM LIKE HELLO this is funny. No comp to reign me in. ITS TERRIBLE (my text messages are literally just off the wall now, no filter i.e. no comp to check them.)
SWO-K.
Took Judy to a baptism on Saturday.
With me and make-shift "Sister" Endsley (Merriah).
So.......we go to pick Judy up. She's in her fanny pack. 2 knit sweaters on that she has made. TWO. (it is 60 degrees outside #kansasweather) she just got eye surgery so her left eye is black and blue with a HUGE slash down the middle with stitches..........just dyed her hair maroon because she left the red dye in too long.
So yeah she looks like totes her greatest.
Take her to baptism.
Cue: Elders who were in charge of finding this sweet Sister being baptized her baptismal suit. FAIL.
She is .................endowed....with largeness????
So none of them fit her.
So she has nothing to wear.
Baptism starts in 5.
SO THE ELDERS decide it would be a good idea to send her home to put on white sweats and a tank top and throw a TABLE CLOTH OVER HER cut a hole for the head...belt it...........THIS WAS REAL LIFE ABOUT TO HAPPEN. And they are so sure this was the best solution.
!(@*$&%^#$)!(*() %^(#)&%)!*#)$!&@ $
So after that was shot down in about 3 seconds some Sister offered to go get her Temple dress (the tent kind) and she wore that.
45 minutes LATER baptism starts.
Meanwhile amongst the crazy JUDY is just basically peddling her sweaters to everyone waiting for the baptism.......business cards in her fanny pack....scaring little children cause she looks semi-crazy. But SOME people were sweet.....mainly the Zone Leaders because they were trying to finagle her into knitting them matching ties.
Ok baptism finally starts....first talk...great...spirit really strong......cue Judy: "Can I make a comment?"
(speaker) um sure...?
asdkfja sd;lfkj;s dsomething about defining "righteousness" that she learned a bible college--just thought that would suit well in your talk."
*high fives me*
....im like WHAT. whatever embrace it.
Moves on, baptism of Karen....shes sweet has overcome a TON to be here....baptized....2 Elders in the water to ......make it happen..........dunks her.....comes up..............................
.................grey sweat suit on underneath???
At this point....no on questions it. Its been done.
While changing they open the time up to bear testimonies. NOOOOOOOOOOOO
First one up.
Judy.
literal 10 minute long speech about I don't even know what just PRAYING that it stays appropriate (because she has a really rated R terrible theory about what Adam and Eve's "original sin" was that she decided to whip out last week when we bring our first team up ever from the Relief Society)
Anyway everyone ..... confused.......
she sits down whispers super loud "great speech wasn't it" DYING.
Beautiful musical number....she claps.
COULDNT BE MORE CLASSIC.
But I could tell everyone was totally judging her as she sat in her 2 sweaters she knitted. fanny pack still on, her magnifying glass she brought from home to read her program with her black and blue eye...but I LOVED her. Even more as I sit and reflect on it. If those people just KNEW what this woman had gone through--the kind of life she had to live--THEY would be applauding for HER even being able to stand and testify of the blessings she has received from the Lord. In her own words "being one of the Gods spoiled rotten little brats!"
God's love is so real, I pray for that now because it truly changes you.
LOVE YOU ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Love,
Sister Murray
