For anyone that knows Court, even just a little, knows she has many embarrassing moments. Well, it only took a week and she now had two to share! I told her I had to share the sock story. :)
Last Wednesday she and her companion, Sister Andrus, ate with a family who's home had tile flooring. They noticed Courtney was the only one without socks so they offered her a pair. She declined but the husband asked for his wife to get a pair anyways. Courtney did not hear this so when the wife came to give her a pair of socks, Court smiled and thanked her as she put the socks next to her coat. Later that evening after they left, (socks in hand) Court's companion turned to her and said, "Sister, I think they meant for you to wear the socks while you were there." Courtney was very embarrassed and was set on returning the socks the next day. Little did she know that the opportunity would happen sooner that she thought.
Later that evening, the missionaries in the area went caroling to new members and investigating families. At the end someone suggested going to the Taylor's. This is were Court came from and tried to persuade them to go some place else. She had to confess and they still went. When they finished caroling Courtney looked up to see them smiling at her. She immediately apologized and promised to return them. His response, "Well, I would invite you in to sit down but I'm afraid you might walk off with the couch!" Everyone had a good laugh and I'm sure Courtney's face was red again!
She did return the socks and they presented her with a gift...a pair of pink socks!
Courtney loves Colorado and has quickly grown attach to many families. They feed the missionaries very well, and are supportive in missionary work. She also loves her companion, Sister Andres who is a petite Hawaiian. She is staying in couple's home and says they are wonderful too! The only complaint I heard was due to the lack of snow! She wants snow.
We just received a few emails today so I again, pasted some parts I thought would be nice to share. Thanks for following along and thanks for you support to Courtney. She loves the mail. :)
We will be spending New Eve night with the Masterson Family. They are having a bon fire and invited a lot of people. We were told today we can only go if we have investigators going. So we found some! But we can only stay 45 mins. Then we have to be in by 7:30 pm which I thought was kind of late. On New Years day we are playing volleyball and basketball with a bunch of recent converts and investigators then spending the rest of the day with the Palmers. I love that family so much! I will have to send you pics of them. Then we will visit two other recent convert families. Marice and Juan H. and Heidi M. Pray for Heidi!
Yes, I love the people. Everyday I grow to love them more. When I have time to write again I want to write you about some families I have met and experiences I have had.
I will also write a letter of an experience I had this week, I told this part member family about your story of following the prophet's counsel. Anyway, it made me cry. I love that family so much!
Still surviving in Colorado and loving it,
Sister Bigelow
