Well, what happened this week? Not much. We always have the most interesting district meetings. I think it was two weeks ago when we were talking about the Because He Lives handouts and we were like, "Do people realize this is a picture of Jesus with the kid?"
"No, they just think it's some guy with a beard wearing a dress."
"Hi, we're mormons and we like holding kids."
Or one day somebody decided to quote, "Shoot for the moon, even if you miss, you'll land among the stars."
"That makes no sense, " I said, "The moon is closer than any star."
"Well, maybe it should be 'shoot for the moon and you'll land near the sun'."
"The sun is still farther than the moon."
"Ok, well maybe they're gonna overshoot it a little bit and be near the sun."
"So what would the saying be?"
"Well, you could say, shoot for the sun and maybe you'll land among the stars."
"But the sun is a star. So I wouldn't get it. Well, I guess technically anywhere in space you're among the stars."
Then the following district meeting somebody started out with, "Shoot for the sun, even if you miss, you'll land among the stars," and I again started with, "But that doesn't make any sense." Elder Gierisch was like, "Yes Riddle, we've already had this discussion."
Back at Christmas I made the simple suggestion that we should bring chips to family home evening, and then because people thought we couldn't have just chips, a whole conversation about other sides to bring. We had almost decided on a veggie tray until Elder Krajnc was like, "People here don't eat vegetables like that. You cut them up and put them on a tray and they don't know what to do," he said that one time an American missionary in Slovenia had done that and the people all just stared at it because they didn't know what to do. So we get pretty off-topic pretty easily.
I don't know what else to report on. The work is going well.
Love,
Sister Riddle
