You see, what had happened with the towing was is that we had parked in the visitor parking, then we went to our appointment. We came out at 8:30 and Hna. Mensinger pressed the button. There was no sound! We thought, for a brief moment, we thought someone had stolen the car, but there was a man sitting right in front of where our car had been, so we went up and asked him if he has seen the grua come by (grua means tow-truck.) he said, "Yeah, there was a white car here, but someone came out of a house and pointed to the car and the grua took it away about 15 minutes ago. It was really weird because the car was in visitor parking, and it wasn't when the grua usually comes by." Ay, ay, ay. So we went to the front of the complex that has a sign about "if you're towed, call this number." so we called that number, and sure enough, our car was there. We went back to our appointment's house and asked them if they could drive us to the lot, and they took us. It was $160. We split the cost, though. So we each paid $80. It wasn't too bad.
We did not find the apartment keys. What we did there was the office elders got the spare set from the office and drove to our apartment, they gave us the keys, then waited to take them back after we were done opening the door. However, when we explained the situation, they said, "OK. You can keep the keys until you get the new ones. Then get us a set of the new keys when you have them." So that's what we did. We now have new locks on our door and on our mailbox. :) Pretty fancy. :)
This week, we had lots of dinner appointments. That was awesome! I let the members know about my allergies, and so they fed us mostly rice and chicken. I love rice, though, so I was happy. One of the dinner appointments we went to was in beautiful house. The walls looked nice, there were antique-looking statues, staircases all over the place, going up and down. I loved it!
We went to another appointment on Wednesday night to a house that had a cat. My companion is allergic to cats, so she told me, "You need to take charge of this lesson because I will be useless." So I did, but one of the girls asked her, "Are you allergic to animals?" She said, "Yeah, I'm allergic to cats." The girl said, "Man, you're allergies must be going crazy because we've got six cats in the house right now." 
Six cats! No wonder her allergies were going nuts! Turns out their cat had a litter of 5 kittens. We didn't look at them because we weren't sure of how the momma would've reacted, but knowing that they were there made me so happy!
We also spent a lot of time cleaning our apartment. To misquote Gandalf "There are older and fouler things than dust bunnies in the deep corners of the apartment." :) We cleaned out the closet of extras and the extra food that members gave us. We're going to give it away. :) But I feel so much better about the apartment. We also got new closet doors on that closet. The old one was too heavy-Maintenance tried to put it back up and the door broke the new pin!-So we got new closet doors. They look good though.
Our sister-training-leaders came over on Friday and made pancakes for our weekly planning. They called them, "plancakes." :)
The most exciting part about the week though is that I got to play piano for a wedding!!!!!!!! It was the wedding of one of my old investigators from Old Town. It was so great! The wedding was beautiful, the ceremony simple, and I was so happy! My cheeks hurt afterward from smiling so big. :) I was so happy! I'm so excited to get married, now. :)
There's a local heron that stands in the lake we walk around everyday. he makes me smile. I saw some deer a couple nights ago. Also, there are turtles in the lake--we saw a couple of them up on the banks last week. We drive by a few flocks of geese and goslings. The goslings are growing up now, and they don't look quite so cute now... :) They were cute a few weeks ago when they were just balls of feathery fluff, but now they're looking more like adults, and so they aren't so cute. :) But it's ok. We saw some cardinals on our walk around the lake today, too.
Over all, things are good, here. The work is going forward, and life is good. :)
