Our poor car has been through a lot
this week! On Tuesday night, we got out of an appointment to find that we had a
flat tire. I was like "o cool I know how to fix this." haha
apparently not. We got it jacked up alright but we didn't loosen the bolts
before so we had to start over. We were right down the street from some ward
members so we ran over to their house and brother D came outside to help us. He
jacked it up again and got the tire off then it TIPPED OVER off of the Jack! It
landed on the Axel and bent the roter in !? (I dont really know what I'm
talking about but I think that's what they said.) Any way, we jacked it up
again then it fell over again! Brother D ran back to his house to get his jack.
while we were waiting by the car, some guy walked up to us and informed us that
"it's bad for the car to just sit on the axel like that" and that we
"should jack it up and put the tire back on" -----no
kidding.............. that's kinda what we were trying to do haha. We had a
good laugh about that all later. we didnt drop it on the axel on purpose!!!
oh well. it was pretty funny. Then
brother D came back, got it jacked up and put the spare tire on. We had to take
the car into the shop the next day. There wsa a shard of metal in the tire and
it the hole couldn't be repaired. They replaced the tire and bent the roter
back away from the axel.......I think? We also had to take the car to the shop
on Friday to get the window wiper fluid motor fixed. It took about 5 hours!!!
So we did a bit of walking this week while our poor car was in the shop, which
slows down the work a bit but still a great week!
R is actually in the zone leaders area so they
will get to teach her now. Sister M and I taught her for the first week then we
did team teaching with the zone leaders for the second week, and now they will
take over. We are going to miss seeing her, but we still pray for her and we'll
stay in touch I'm sure.
Our new we are now teaching N and he
came to church this week! I think he really enjoyed it. It was so sweet to see
one of the new families in our ward talking to him and getting to know him. I
think they'll be great friends! It is so much easier to have a good Sunday if
you don't feel lonely and left out. It is super nice when they can feel welcome
and befriended when they come.
we'll this last hour went by WAY to
quickly. I'm already out of time. I hope Rebecca, Caroline and Trent had a
great time in FIji!!!!!
love, Sister Hodgson
