A Hilarious "Missionary Experience"

Fam and Friends,
So this week I finally had one of those hilarious "missionary
experiences" almost every missionary has. So we had set up a meeting
with a less active at our senior missionary couples house and we were
way excited cuz we were gonna get a free good lunch ;) right before
the lunch meeting we get a call from a lady we had given a Book of
Mormon to on a bus a few weeks ago. I was way stoked cuz it was the
VERY first time anyone had ever called US. So we set up a meeting to
head over right after our lunch meeting. Of course I ate way too much
and was stuffed after the meeting. We get to this other ladies
apartment like 30 minutes later and right away we realize she's a
little crazy. She had a HUGE lunch set up for us with a HUGE bowl of
borsh soup ( a russian dish that is delicious) and a HUGE bowl of plov
( another delicious russian rice dish). Me and Sis Pinkston just look
at each other and freak out inside. We were already sooooo sickly
stuffed. So she tries to get us to drink some vodka with her and then
couldn't understand why we couldn't drink black or green tea. We just
kept laughing cuz she literally did not understasnd that we WOULD NOT
drink and never had before. So finally she left to go to the "pruduktee"
(mini store) just outside of her appartment to buy us some herbal tea
and we start stuffing all the plov into a bag into sister pinkstons
purse. it was hilarious. this lady was seriously crazy and by the end
of the meeting was def crazy drunk. Turns out she was not interested
one bit in our message but is just a lonely middle aged woman who
thinks she's still 20. Gosh it was crazy/hilarious/ a night mare but we
made it out safe and sound and had a good laugh about it.
I can't really remember much of what else happened this week. Not much
progress or change has happened but next week I'll def be reporting
progress, I know it. I love you all! keep me in your prayers, as well
as the rest of the missionaries! and keep being awesome. Love you all,
sis tenney
