Recent email from Sister Cross.
In her words:
Hey Everyone!
This week was interesting. We had a couple of dinner appointments, which was good. One of them, Sister L., gave us "Easter Packages" that included toilet paper, tooth paste, canned soup, and a chocoloate bunny. It was great. We had to carry it with us to our appointment after, but our investigator was okay with it. The youth in the stake gave us all bags of food, too. Which was nice because this week we had NOTHING. Like my easter dinner was Cream of Wheat. Haha. It wasn't all bad. We had a pretty good laugh about it.
We counted our lunch appointment yesterday as our Easter meal. We ate with Sister R. and her daughter. So, little hint about missionaries. Their meal appointments are only supposed to be an hour long. Our first meal with her was 2 HOURS! She wasn't even done cooking. This one was only 1 hour and 40 minutes because we had an appointment. Nice of her to keep it short. :) She's funny. Her meals are like 5 star hotel meals or something. Seriously like 5 courses. And all REALLY fancy stuff. She's Polish and makes all kinds of crazy foods. She made this mushroom soup with sausage and stuff. It was way good. Except the mushrooms, but that's alright. And this Polish/Canadian Pizza thing. But not like normal pizza. She just lays out TONS of food and expects us to eat it all. I feel bad that I physically can't finish a meal there. I guess I just need practice.
We're teaching a guy on House Arrest. We're not exactly sure what he did, but he's great! He's turned his life to God and is trying to learn how to do what He wants. He's really active in his chruch; he's an alterboy , actually. We're hoping to help him know that the Priesthood is important. He was homeless for 30 years, but with the help of the government for disability, he's been able to have a home for the last 3 years. He is so sweet. He wants us to love his home. He's talks about it with pride and his face lights up when we compliment something. He won't be able to get baptized till September, when he's off house arrest, so we're taking it slow.
I'm not sure what else you all want to know. There are a lot of little stories I could tell. For example, I got on the bus and sat across from this elderly lady. I was just going to talk with her because she looked super sweet. But then she looked up at me and started talking, like she was talking to me. She said something like, "She's never going to win; she's mentally incompetent." And "She can laugh all she wants, they arrested her last time." And, "We're going to take her to court and (soemthing about lawyers.)" I didn't say a word! Haha. It was an awkward bus ride.
A lot of people have asked about mail and email. I'm getting mail slowly. If you send a Dearelder, for example, on Monday or soemthing. I won't get it till the next week because they don't deliver mail on the weekends. But I get it and I love it! I'm getting a good amount of emails too. We don't have a time limit on email, so that's nice. It's not overbearing either. I love to hear about how your lives are going and how your testimony is growing. Tell me about your easters! I'd love to hear it!
I love you all! Keep doing good and being GREAT!
