1. Is it hot where you are?
1. Kinda. Not too crazy.
It’s mostly been in the high 80's low 90's, but this week it’s supposed to
climb into the 100's a little bit.
2. Do you ride your bikes anywhere in this area?
2. Yeah, we ride our
bikes pretty often actually.
3. Are you still riding buses?
3. No that was just
that one area. We don’t ride them here at all.
4. Do you have any pictures of just yourself you'd
like to share in the ward newsletter?
4. Maybe I’ll see.
So this week was
pretty insane!! It was crazy busy working with the people we were given. I’ll
do my best to tell the stories from this week but it probably won’t be that
cool to you.
First off, we have
been stressed about our friend Caleb who is 18 and just graduated. He wanted to
be baptized on the 11 of august but his parents are a part of a church called
Real Life (don’t get me started on what that church does). He has been scared
to tell them that he was going to get baptized until this last week and they didn’t
like the idea of him committing to something like that. So, they said they want
him to wait a full year, which in my book is pretty ridiculous! He really wants
to get baptized so I’m not sure what will happen but prayers for him and his parent’s
hearts to be softened would be needed!
Second, we have been
teaching this lady named Trina and her life is totally falling apart and she
really needs the gospel. She hurt her wrist and didn’t know what was wrong with
it for about a week. After several doctors’ appointments and meds and a whole
lot of stress they finally found that she had an infection in her arm! Her
wrist was crazy swollen too. She had to get surgery right away and while she
was out after her surgery her son and ex-husband showed up and the son and ex-husband
got in a fight and the son punched his dad in the face and broke his jaw! The
son got put in jail and the dad went in for a jaw surgery to get it fixed right
away. (didn’t even have to drive to the hospital since that’s where the fight
took place!) So, that has been really crazy for her. She is recovering now and
has been very humbled as you can tell. She wants to be baptized sometime in
September, so we will be working with her. She is an amazing lady and would be
an amazing member and has some spunk that this ward needs.
Third, we are teaching
a 9-year-old girl named Alora and she is super awesome. They are in a part
member family and are super nice.
Well that’s my update
for the week. It sure has been a crazy one. But its good and it keeps me busy.
Well I hope you have a great week and do some fun stuff as summer starts to
wind down. Love ya!
