With the hot, steamy weather comes the....mosquitoes..and lots of them. Needless to say, when people don't let us in and we have to teach on their doorstep, my legs end up looking like i have leprosy and my feet swell up with the many bug bites..Mom, Dad...if I come home with feet that look like I should be in a circus, will you still love me?
Yesterday was probably my most favorite day of the week..We had church and a random lady showed up..Her husband left her and her kids homeless and so she opened up the phone book and began to call the many churches in the area. None of the churches picked up except for ours. A member picked her up and brought her to church and from there, we were able to teach her the Restoration. Afterwards, she explained that this was something completely different from the non-denominational churches she had previously attended..She said that for her entire life she has felt like she hasn't found the COMPLETE truth. That something has always been missing. Well my friend, you've found the full truth! We gave her a copy of the Book of Mormon and got her information..We're hoping to have the english sisters this week. MIRACLE! At night, we went to our bishop's house and helped his wife cooked dinner...From there, some of the ward leaders joined us and we all split up and visited less active members from the ward!
On Wednesday, we had to go on a road trip to Houston to trade our car in and in the process, I got to see Sister Sanford...The bishop's wife from my first area! She works at the Church peanut butter factory which happens to be right next to the mission office. So we dropped in and she gave us a quick tour and some peanut butter! wahoo! It was so weird to catch up with her on everything that has happened in my life and hers..I can't believe I hadn't seen her in 8 months!
Another miracle..The Caldwell sisters (40 minutes away from us, english speaking) called us and gave us a referral! They found a mexican family and began to teach them very simply due to the language barrier (the husband knows some english). They're really interested and have already began to read the Book of Mormon. Hopefully this week, we can set up a time and meet with them!
We saw so many miracles this week and we're hoping that with the summer as well, this area can BOOM and the ward can be united..
I love you all!
