letter dated 2/13/12

mom!  well we FINALLY moved into our apartment and as usaul about this time of year i recieved an injury... i was packing our car really really full of stuff and i went to slam the car door shut really fast so stuff wouldn't fall out and needless to say my middle finger on my right hand got in the way...... and well now it is currently fat, and bruised, and brokenish.. i haven't gone to the doctor yet but i had an RN from the ward look at it and she was like ya you should probably come into our office (she works at an urgent care) i'll be there tuesday, so i'm going there tomorrow. maybe. haha i yelled a lot when it happened and ikey was scared to talk to me cause she thought i was gonna lash out at her or something haha i kept telling her i was just mad at myself. but yaaa that was an adventure. and its hard to type cause it hurts so just ignore the typos... so before i forget my new address is: 8020 SweetBrier Ln SE Apt A-201, Lacey, WA 98513.
so funny story: we went to wendy's for lunch this past tuesday and as me and ikey were sitting at our table eating our spicy chick nuggs (spicy chicken nuggets) a lady came and sat down by us and after a few minutes she looks up and says are "you guys mother and daughter??" and me trying not to laugh says "no..." and the lady goes "oh.. you guys look alike.." and i'm thinking what the?! then you should ask if we are sisters not mother in daughter! haha everyone knows you play the are you sisters card BEFORE the are you mother and daughter card. so we continue eating and then the lady says "wait what church are you from?" and we say "the church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints" and she says "oh i used ta go to that church but i left." and ikey askes her why she left. (i should inform you that this lady is really weird looking, she is missin some teeth and is pretty dirty and kinda has a crazy look in her eye, oh and she is indian but that has nothing to do with the story i just wanted you to picture her well) anyways so she proceeds to tell us and the rest of everyone at wendy's why she left the church and it went a little bit something like this: "well one time at church i was sittin behind this lady and she had red hair about shoulder length, and she had a friend by her with brown hair and it was this long (she points to her shoulders) and the red haired lady had a baby and it was cryin ya know so the brown haired lady gave the baby a pen. and everyone knows you DO NOT give babies pens cause they can stick it like this (and she makes a fist and starts jabbing into her mouth) (ps i'm trying REALLY REALLY hard not to laugh cause this lady was crazy lookin and talking SO loud) anyways: " so i walked outta there as fast as i could cause if i wouldve stayed in there i would've choked the brown haired lady to death for putting that baby in danger. and i was really close to callin the cops on her for attempted murder." haha so ikey (bless her heart) is keeping a straight face and keeps talking to her and oh man i'm sitting there with my frosty trying so hard not to bust out laughing cause this lady left the church cause someone gave a baby a pen. hahaha oh and then! she continues to tell us ALL of her past sins.... (remember all of wendy's can hear this) and she is like ya i've done it all! i've smoke cigarettes, marijuana, and goes on and on about all the drugs she's done. it was crazy. and i walked outta there like 20 minutes later and had to contain myself until i got to the car. and then me and ikes just busted up. so ya thats my funny story for the week! and now its spiritual story time.
so we've been teaching a guy named donald wilson who's wife is a member. we had dinner with them a few weeks ago and asked him if he would want to take the lessons from us and he agreed. so we came back and had a really awesome lesson the following week and then this past week we taught him and it was even more awesome! he opened the door and he was all bright and happy and it was great! you could just tell that he had prayed about the church and gotten his answer. we came in for our second lesson and he had went with his wife and gotten a quad scripture set and has been studying from preach my gospel hahaha i was like well  i don't even need to teach you cause i probably just quoted half that book haha jk i use my own wordsss but ya it was awesome! before we even began the lesson he was like i want to be baptized on feb 25th. and we were like OKAY! that is sweet! so donald wilson will be baptized the day after my b day! woo! and we have found out that he wasn't interested in taking the lessons from any missionaries for years until we asked him. apparenlty he was really not interested. but now he is on date for the 25th! ya so my finger hurts and i gotta read some more stuff from the mission office before my time runs out! i love you and miss you! love tay
