So this week has been pretty normal. Our friend Victor decided to drop us because he asked if we could help with food and we said no. But that's okay.
Elaine is our 86 year old friend and oh my word I love her, she is hilarious! She asked if we could give her our mom's phone numbers so that she could call them and talk with them... Sorry mom. Elaine is so sweet and she is working very hard on having a clean mouth. She prays for it every time we talk with her, she loves to shock people but she also tries really hard to follow God.
Brother Conard turned 85 on June 3rd! We called him that morning and told him happy birthday. He was so glad. We also texted the ward council and asked them to call him to wish him a happy birthday. About 4 people called him. When we called Brother Conard later that night he was so excited over all the calls that he had received and told us his day was terrific!! That is quite the accomplishment because Every Single Time we ask how his day has been or how he is, he says it/he's okay. EVERY TIME. We were excited that it was terrific. Someone from the ward council told him we had let them know it was his birthday and he was tearful in thanking us. It was so cute. He told us he had a question that he had been thinking about for a while. We told him he could ask us anything. Well, he asked if he could adopt us in heart and soul. It was so touching because he isn't married, doesn't have any kids, he was heavily abused as a child and only the neighbors take care of him. We told him that we would write up a paper that said he could adopt us. I have no idea how to write up an adoption paper but I did the best I could and we mailed it to him and he signed it yesterday. I love him and he is so special.
So two days ago we got a call. And so we answered it and the first thing we hear is "Do you know who George Lloyd is?" We had no clue who that was then when she explained he was the man who had died we realized she said George Floyd. We said we had heard about it. Then she asked what we and our church was going to do about it. She was being pretty aggressive and it surprised us because she is normally a nice sweet lady but we explained that the prophet had put something out on social media addressing her concerns but that wasn't a good enough answer for her. She asked if we even knew who God was and we said yes then she hung up. So that was interesting.
We saw our first protesters a few days ago. They were peaceful which was good because there were a couple of police cars on the median strip but there were about 100-150 people. It was a lot! But there was no yelling or shouting, they were just walking holding signs. We were glad that they weren't doing anything scary because we were stopped in our car at the time they were walking past us.
We got our transfer board and turns out I'm training someone new and moving back to the Lake Ridge apartment! I was kind of freaking out because this will be my 4th transfer and I still don't really know what I'm doing! But its okay because sometimes the Lord has a sense of humor when I need to learn something.
Mmm let's see... what else.. We are getting everything packed and moved over to the apartment today and tomorrow so that will be fun. Oh! I finally get to drive again! I love driving. Also Virginia drivers stink!
Love you all!
