Ok.. get ready to be jealous, because today was the coolest. We got a *private tour* of the Bear Bryant Stadium in Tuscaloosa!!
DONT STEP ON THE SEAL!!! (Elder Preswitch) |
I'm pretty sure I have to be a Bama fan now?? (Elder Currier is going to be livid!.. Sorry Chase :/).
Well... as much of a "fan" as I can be. We all know I know nothing about football. But I'm trying to learn! It's about the only way we can get people to talk to us, haha! When things get awkward at door steps, we just say "Roll Tide!" and they let us right in. Unless they are Auburn fans, then they chase us with a stick. It was seriously so fun!!
It was a combined activity with Bessemer North and South Zones, and we all played football on campys after...best day ever.
So we got caught in a rain storm while tracting.. so hilarious. Sister Mathis was NOT happy.
But we ended up having such a cool experience! One of the doors was answered by the sweetest little old spanish lady, who spoke only enough english to tell us she was Catholic. She kindly declined to hear our message, but sent us with well wishes. Anyway, about five minutes later we were running for our lives past her door, when she opened it and
said "come, come!!" She ushered us inside, and was laughing so hard with us, as we were completely drenched. We were only there for a few minutes, while we spoke very broken spanish to her, and she replied in very broken
english. It was pretty awkward.. but she was just so sweet. Even though we couldn't communicate very well, there was a mutual love felt. She accepted
our card, with mormon.org printed on it, and our number. She offered us umbrellas and blew us a kiss as we left her house running. Love these sweet memories.
