Two Sister Missionary's no right hands

Greetings friends. Who would thought. Of all the companions in the whole mission , there are 2 Sisters in Rochester who don't know their left from their right. Can you imagine the car ride?, your left, no that's my right, your right no that's my left..... start over, the arm closest to your window is your left, closest to me is your right. I eieieieie, It sounds kinda fun, I hear there is lots of laughter and snorting going on when those 2 crazy Missionary's hop in the car. Sister Burns had the opportunity to put 2 rather large hairy Liberian men in there place. Kolako and friend AKKA, were in a heated argument about the Bible and the lesson Sister Ure and Laura were trying to give. Thick accents yelling at each other about anything, it was intense. It sounds like Sister Ure had done all the talking because she is a history buff and really new her time lines. The little red haired girl sat and observed. She couldn't take it any longer when AKKA said there isn't a true church anyway. Then ...as calm and powerful as she could, she stood up and said" Yes!! Its this GOSPEL, THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER DAY SAINTS it is the only right and true church on the earth today that has the fullness of the gospel that Jesus Christ set up when he was here" Laura knew the Holy Ghost would help her because she was standing up for the church and her beliefs. These big, hairy, thick accented Liberian's looked at her, became silent and said " See there you go" Just like that...Sista Burns stood firm and did not flinch. Way to go Lo. We are proud of you. You just let that red hair get you going. It threw a wrench in their scripture plans but, all is well. A big Zone meeting is this week, lets wait and see how it goes. I always look forward to Mondays for I receive a very long email, with all the fun, excitment, crying, goose bumps, heart pounding experiences. Sister Burns says Hi to all who write her, and sorry she can't get to everyone right now, but she will. Again thanks for your friendship and support. Love Mommy and Little Roo
