It's been an interesting week! I know I say that pretty much every week, but we had some strange stuff happen. Sister Roubidoux got food poisoning on Wednesday and threw up all night. Where was I? Dead asleep. Then she slept all day Thursday. I studied and watched a lot of Church videos. I accepted the fact that we weren't actually going out that day around 5:30 and made cinnamon rolls.
The other day I was telling someone how to spell my name and said: "T-I-B-B-I-T-T-O. . . . what did I just say." Apparently I can't spell my own name.
Saturday . . . boy. It is officially mango season. While contacting someone, a random guy named Moonan came up and gave us all mangos. We were like "...thanks!" Bishop Ramdhanie (from Curepe Ward) drove by and I gave him mine. Then, this huge truck bearing gas tanks drove by and the driver called to us: "Hey! You want mangos? My brother is a pastor in your church! Here, mangos!" It was nice of him, but we gave them to Hamilton. I have decided that mangos are kind of like fruitcake: there is a time of year where everyone is giving it away, but everyone has some already, so you either use it as an object lesson on tithing or you re-gift it. It's all good though; mangos are really good.
Zone conference was on Tuesday; President and Sister Mehr's last before they head home in July. It was really, really good. Sister Mehr encouraged us to realize the depth of our testimonies. Sister Roubidoux and I did a roleplay with Sister Francom in front of all the north Trinidad missionaries; she was a less-active we were trying to get back to church. First we weren't bold enough, then we were too bold---it was pretty funny :) President Mehr then got up and told us all we needed to be more passionate about the gospel, because guess what? this is only our salvation we are talking about. While waiting for interviews, we talked with Sister Mehr about recognizing the Spirit when it comes to knowing who to marry (her advice? Don't worry about it until you get home. Just focus on living righteously so the Spirit will be with you). She is seriously an inspired woman.
Anyway, it's been a good, but crazy, week. Scripture of the week is 1 Chronicles 28:9-10
Have a great week! Love, Sister Aida Tibbitts
