So on Sunday Sarah,
Mckenna, Stefanie, and I decided we wanted to go to church. We took a crazy Rigshaw ride over to
church. It was nice to go to church
because it was something familiar; some of it was even in English! But a good
amount was also in Telegu. We came early
and sat down and a lot of the people would come over to welcome us or wave
hello. Everyone was really nice! I was really happy to see four missionaries
at the meeting, they reminded me of Chase!
There was one guy, however, that came to greet us, he was really nice,
but after we said hello he just kept standing there looking at us with a smile
frozen on his face. It was a little
awkward… I figured he was maybe a
greeter or a member of the bishopric who wanted to make sure we felt welcomed. He told us that BYU students are his friends
and that we were all his friends. I
smiled at him and said thank you and we were happy to be his friends…
oops! When the meeting started I
realized that he wasn’t in the bishopric or anything, he was one of the guys
our professor warned us about. He sat
right behind us and would follow us in between the meetings. We were warned by our professor to stay away
from the boys in church because they only want romance; they want wives really
bad (this became very obvious during testimony meeting when a lot of the guys
would talk about how badly they want to find a wife!). And
unfortunately I learned later that it is bad to smile at the men because it
gives them the wrong idea! Oh great!
Well, we left church 5 minutes early and we will be switching to a
different church meeting time. We also
learned about some of the jewelry that married women wear here along with toe
rings so I think I will be getting some of that!
