Did you say bean or being?

(Sister Slade)

Today's title comes from an experience sister faleafa and I had. I said something sarcastic (highly unusual for me) and sister Faleafa said, "You are a sarcastic bean." But I couldn't tell what she said, so I asked her, "did you say bean or being?" And then she said, "bean." But I still couldn't understand which word she was saying. So I asked her what she said again. This went on for about 5 minutes and by the end of it she was yelling "bean!" At me and we were laughing so hard we were crying.

This week was very boring. Sister Faleafa accidentally ate something she was allergic to at our ward trunk or treat on Wednesday and she was sick the rest of the week. So anyone want to guess how much time I spent sewing this week? TOO MUCH. I made 17 dresses for girls in 3rd world countries and then decided that I couldn't look at another dress. So I started making pillows and sock monkeys for people we're teaching (pictures attached below). I told sister Strong about the sock monkeys with an idea I had, so now we're going to make sock monkeys to deliver to the children's hospital here on Christmas.

On Sunday, because it was fast and testimony meeting, Johana decided that she wanted to bear her testimony. So she got up and did! It was one of the most amazing testimonies ever. I'm pretty sure that half the congregation was crying (I definitely was). She said that since she met us she said she felt like she had been found and was coming home. She said she felt this unbelievable warmth and happiness when we were in her home and that she was being taught things she had felt her whole life but couldn't put words to.

We got transfer calls on Saturday. Both Sister Faleafa and I are staying.

God is good!

Technology is being dumb and won't let me upload my pictures, so you'll just have to wait until next week to see them because I've been trying for half an hour to get them to upload.
