Hello friends! :) Question: do you know what a silverfish looks like? Because besides the minecraft version, I didn't until this week. But anyway, I'll get to that.
It's been a great week!! I say that almost every week, but it's true. ;) It's hard not to have a great week when you're doing the Lord's work. The other sisters were going to lend some elders their car for a last-minute baptism, but when they went out to swap, their car was completely dead. So we lent the elders our car instead and spent the next couple hours calling our mission vehicle coordinator and roadside service to come jump the sisters' car. It was super weird; the sisters had triple-checked they locked it last time they drove, but all the doors were unlocked except for the driver's seat. There was a strange buzzing noise and nothing was working. We thought it was possible someone broke in, but nothing was stolen. Hmm. Still a mystery.
Sister Weston and I also witnessed a pretty scary thing coming home from a home visit! We were driving up over a hill and saw TONS of gray smoke. Super black smoke. As we went over the bend, we saw this huge house in flames. No fire trucks were there yet, but the house was engulfed. We went to this park right above the house where you could watch the fire and there was pretty much no one there. Within 10 minutes over 15 fire trucks/police cars (and an accompanying crowd) showed up and started putting out the fire. We heard loud explosions and it started raining a little ash. We only stayed for 15-20 minutes before we left, but it was chaotic leaving. The park parking lot went from 1 car to 5 too many and the police woman started coordinating traffic. She asked us to hold the other cars back until she got the main road cleared, so it was another couple minutes before we could actually leave. It was crazy. I hope everyone was safe. :/
Oh guess what. On Saturday some members fed us salmon (I'm talking a massive fillet as big as my hand each) and as I started eating it, I quickly became a little concerned. It was super mushy and pink. The further I got into it, the more undercooked it got. Sister Weston's was fine, but mine wasn't cooked at all. I ate about 5 inches of it before I couldn't bring myself to eat the other 3. I asked for a bag so I could take it to go haha. :P GROSS. I hope I don't die anytime soon because that was a lot of undercooked fish that was the kind of fish that should definitely be cooked. :{ Woohoo!
Back to the silverfish, we found one in our apartment and named him Scot with one t. :) He was a great pet haha! Besides that random note, our week has been wonderfully full of lessons/homevisits/finding time. Sarah is doing absolutely amazing! We had an incredible lesson with her this past week and I am so excited to meet with her more. I just love being a missionary.
Hope your upcoming week is a fantastic one!! Love you all so so much!! :)
Love, Sister Mary Goss
