This week was can be described in two words: hot and sticky.
I don't think I knew what the word humidity meant until I got here. July is
definitely on it's way.
We had a lot of fun on Monday! Even though it was 100
degrees with 100% humidity, we didn't let that stop us. Some of the sisters
went with us down to Old Market in downtown Omaha where we shopped a bit and
went down some pretty cool slides. To be honest, the biggest reason why we went
on the slides was so that we could wear pants. We find any excuse we can to put
on a pair of jeans. But we still had a lot of fun! Later that evening, Bob and
Lucy took us to dinner and I could feel my eye starting to hurt. Towards the
end of the night, I was pretty sure I had pink eye. And when I woke up on
Tuesday with my eye crusted shut, I was definitely sure.
We had a full proselyting day on Tuesday and I was so angry
because we only get one or two of those a week. I prayed that the Lord would be
able to make it possible for us to go out that day because we had several
appointments set up. We went throughout our morning and when I went into the
bathroom to get ready, my eye was completely fine. It was white and clear of
any gross goop, the opposite of what it was earlier. I was healed! It really
was such a miracle and it confirmed to me that there was something that we
needed to do that day. And there was.
Later that day we were trying to visit a less active member
when we saw a man trying to wash his SUV. He had a huge boot on his leg so we
thought we should help. When we went up to him, he looked at us and said,
"You're here to help me wash my car, aren't you? Well here you go!"
He then handed us a sponge and put us to work. We were more than happy to help
and as we were working, we talked to him a lot about religion. His name is
Brandon and he has been attending a Baptist church for a while. He seemed
really open to learning more about our church and even took a Book of Mormon!
He just moved here to Omaha from Des Moines and kept talking about how he's
been looking for a change in his life. He also asked us if we believe in the
"Holy Spirit" and we told him of course. He then told us, "Well
maybe he lead you here to me today." It was so cool! And he is such an
awesome guy. We can't wait to meet with him again!
I cannot wait to see what is to come! I get to meet my
new Mission President this week. There are so many changes coming,
but change is a good thing. I hope the rest of you have great week! I love
you all!
We promise that we didn't plan to match. But when it
happens, you have to get a picture!
I survived the
slides!
We said our goodbyes
to Sister Weston this week. I'm going to miss her so much!
We love you Sister
Weston!
