Our tire EXPLODED on the freeway on the way to our meeting... our minivan SWERVED like crazy and was bouncing while we were on a sky ramp because there was some metal bar on the road that we couldn't avoid without wrecking. We slowed down to 7 mph with a fat line of cars behind us and pulled over on the bridge/ramp only partly out of the lane because there was no more room. We evaluated and got back in the car to call the elders on their way to the meeting too and right then- MIRACLE. Two cars of elders were passing and pulled over when they saw us! The dang spare was underneath the seats on the bottom of the car. We couldn't even find it for a while, then we couldn't get it out because we didn't have the right wrench. Our seats were just chilling on the side of the freeway. A policeman pulled over and helped us, he didn't know how to get the tire out either. Poor decisions were made, and the elders put a Chevy Equinox tire on our Sienna minivan. It was pretty dumb, they followed us for SEVEN MILES going 10 mph on the freeway and we made it to the church an hour late for the meeting we were leading haha. After the meeting, we put the right spare on and had to get a new tire! It was crazy.
We got transfer news and we thought that Sister Case was leaving because she has been here for 3 but we get to stay together! I'm super excited! We were trying to convince president Needs and Farias to put us in a trio because I have to leave a week early but no trio (sad days). The sisters we live with also are staying!!!
Eric! Eric is someone that has been taught for a SUPER long time and we have been a little confused how interested he is. Well on Saturday he signed up to feed us dinner and after we had a lesson. We asked him what he believes and he told us some of his concerns. We ended up inviting him to pray to know if the Book of Mormon isn't true and to read it every day this week and promised him that he would get an answer. The Spirit was super strong!
We are finding a lot of people up in Forsyth which is about 30 min from the church. It's been super cool being able to find in a place that hasn't had much finding in the past. Really cool story: we were driving down a little road in Forsyth and there were a few houses and we passed one that has a women and a little girl outside on their porch. We drive past and I keep thinking we need to stop. So we turn around and walk to them and she was so sweet. We shared that God loves her and talked a little bit about the Book of Mormon. She said that she needed to hear that and we set up a time to go back when we go up to Forsyth this week!
-also I learned what frog Frisbee is...our apt complex gets so many frogs and every morning they are sadly ran over and on top of it the "Macon Funk" was so bad this week. Macon has a nasty funky smells it smells like chicken guts.
