Rainy Week

It's rainy all week this week, so I won't have much to show for myself, but here are a bunch of pictures I either just got from the other girls or just decided to put up!

But first... tonight Elder Anderson was speaking at a nearby chapel, so Jess, Christine, Heidi, and I rode the bus and planned on getting off at the bottom of the hill our stake center is on to catch a ride with people there. We get on, and first of all the lady wouldn't give us a student discount (some do and some don't, Dr. Jacobs said this lady must have been mad at her husband or something haha) and then right before our stop, she takes the world's longest, most confusing detour, so we lost track of where we were and missed getting off. We got off as soon as we realized we were far away and heading even farther away and started running cause we had only a few minutes to get to the stake center and a LONG way to walk (the bus had been late, plus that detour was so long) It was just so funny when we were running that I couldn't stop laughing the whole time because I was just picturing the four of us girls in dresses, holding onto our skirts and shoes, Christine's umbrella was just behind her and inside out and it was raining, all on a main road. Eventually we started walking cause we wanted to cool down before getting to the church and getting stuck in a stuffy car, but then Christine stepped on glass and by this time we were just soaked. When we got to the church (only 9 min late, I was impressed with our performance), there was only one car in the whole lot, and not a soul to be found. Of course we're cheap and don't have a cell phone, so we knocked on the door of a random house across the street (my first time, thrilling!) and asked to use a phone. We called our teacher, Carol first to see if she had Dr. J's number but she lost it, then Phyllis who eventually found it, then Dr. J himself and he came to pick us up (all during this poor family's dinner that we so rudely interrupted)! They were so nice, and we were just laughing the whole time about what had just happened. Then Dr. J drove us home, the end!
