Police Encounter

This week I had the opportunity to go to Washington Business Week! I got to stay at Central Washington University. I got put into a company and we had to start a business and create a product! 



Our Company name was Dawfki ( Dependable Appliances With Future Key Ideas) We created an awesome Product called "The Double Duo" It was a Two in one  Washer and Dryer. It was pretty much the coolest thing ever because I invented it. Hahaha 





It was a very different environment than I was used to because I was the only member of the church. My eyes were really opened to the world... and it was scary. Man, The world is getting a lot worse. But since I was the only member I had A TON of missionary opportunities, People would come up to me and ask if I was Mormon and I would say yes and they would say " I knew it! You just have that glow about you!" How cool is that? I was pretty happy to know that the Light of Christ was shining through me. I did make some AMAZING people though. And I got them all to stop swearing for a week... which was VERY hard for them because they all slipped up,... a lot. But I appreciated that they tried to stop for me. 



Okay,,,, Now onto the SCARY part. It was Saturday night and I went to bed a little early. My roommate was on her phone doing something, so I fell asleep. At 2:30 a.m. There is a bright flashlight shining in my face. I open my eyes and see two guys standing there and so I say " Oh, Are we having a Party" Then I hear them chuckle for a second and realize that these are old men.... and by old I mean like in their 40's..... And they say " Natalie, You need to get out of bed right now. It is an emergency." I then realize it is the police. So I FREAK out. I get out of bed and am on the verge of tears! I am a good girl! I don't do drugs or anything! I didn't even know very many bad words until I showed up! And so The police say " Your roommate is missing." And You should know that I could barely talk to my roommate because she spoke Spanish. And I don't know Spanish! The only thing I know in Spanish is " No Fumo" And that means I don't smoke! SO I told the police I didn't know where she was. And they asked me what she was wearing last and who her friends were and of course I am clueless and exhausted since it is 2;30 in the morning. And so the police decided that one of them would stay with me while I slept in case I got kidnapped too. So I was freaking out! And So I got back in bed and texted my family to let them know that i was alive.... for now. Haha And I fell asleep... with a policeman watching my every move....I woke up and the policeman was gone and my roommate was there! SO I tried to communicate with her... which didn't work out very well.... but apparently she had snuck off with her boyfriend into his dorm. SO There is my scary story for the week(:
