Crazy Week!

Hello Hello!
I hope everyone is doing well :) So this week was a pretty crazy one for Sister Pulsipher and I!

To start, the work here has been pretty slow ever since Sam's baptism, which has been a bummer! But we are working hard to really connect with all of our potential investigators and help them become solid progressing investigators! We are excited for this week ahead to work hard and find new people to teach!

We also have an upcoming Zone Conference this Wednesday! President and Sister Hudson will be coming as well as three general authorities! It's a great opportunity since they will be coming to spend a few hours with just our Christchurch Zone! Elder Pierson of the 70, Sister Reeves and Sister McConkie will all be there! Sister Pulsipher and I were asked to sing for the conference! We will be 2 of 8 missionaries singing! Yikes! I am way excited though! Not many authorities come to visit our mission since it is spread out on 2 islands and we can't all get together easily.

So this week we had to get our DVD player replaced, got in a car accident, and dropped our phone in a puddle!!! :D YAY! The DVD player wasn't our fault, the cord was just fried and it wouldn't work.

The car accident also was not our fault. We were driving to the Zone Leader's flat to get the mission trailer to do some service and help a member family move. On our way we took a wrong turn, so we found a neighborhood to turn into and flip around. As I was turning left, blinker on and everything (which is an easy turn since we drive on the other side of the road here) a car that was parked on the side of the road decided they would like to turn back into traffic and successfully clipped the rear passenger side of the car with their front driver side of the car. I was so mad!!! hahah so we pulled over and both got out and met a 17 year old girl and her friend. We asked if they were alright and the driver was like limping and goes "I am so sorry I have a cramp in my toe and accidentally hit the gas!!!" -_- But, being the missionary I am I was nice and said I was sorry she had a cramp. Then I asked her to please get out her insurance stuff. She said it wasn't in her car but we could just text her and get it, so I was like UH NO FLIPPIN WAY GOOD TRY (inside of my brain of course) and actually said, “we have a procedure we have to do as missionaries,” so we went to grab the forms we are given from the mission to fill out. We turn around and her friend is WALKING AWAY DOWN THE STREET?!?! So I was like,”oh is your friend okay?” She goes, “yeah she's just going home,” so obviously this girl was NOT supposed to be driving friends! So I call the mission office as Sister Pulsipher gets all her info. I took some pictures of the cars and we got her license plate, phone number and address. Everything turned out alright and the car is drivable!

Lastly, the phone will need to be replaced soon because my lovely companion dropped it in a puddle! Being the people we are our first reaction was not to snatch it up but to look at each other and start cracking up! hahaha but it kinda works right now, but it has water in it so talking on the phone kinda sounds like you're under water! ha!  We had a good week though and we are ready for the week ahead!  Love you all! Have a fantastic week :)
