Friends & Family,
Well the scariest thing I have ever been through... We went home one night at 5 pm
and it started raining and thundering, we thought it was so cool until
all the lights went out. Our house starting shaking then I started
crying. I didn't know what to do. I started freaking out, we got a
flashlight and pillows and blankets and got in the bathtub!! That was
the only place without windows!! I really thought I was gonna die. haha
members called us to make sure we were okay. They prayed with us over
the phone because I was freaking out!!!! So after it calmed down we got
out and went to bed!!! Then the next morning woke up to a disaster.
Trees everywhere.... houses crushed.... trailers flipped over..
CRAZY!!!!!!!! Prayer was the one and only thing that calmed me down. I
knelt down and prayed to my loving Heavenly Father and I felt so much
peace!!! This experience was so humbling!! We were crazy that next day
running and helping everyone!!! It was so crazy!! That was the scariest
thing I have ever been in!! and they said another one is coming this
week....
But
guess what???? I'm staying in Elizabeth City, North Carolina!!!! At the
end of this transfer I will be here for 7 months.. crazy huh? But I
love it here so much!!! I love the people here and I'm super happy!!! I
love being a missionary!!! Every moment of it!!
I
LOVE TALKING WITH LESS ACTIVE MEMBERS.. It makes me so happy when we
meet with less active members! There is the one that is from Mexico,
every time we meet with her the spirit is so strong. I feel so
comfortable talking in Spanish to her... she helps me.. and I help her
to learn English! She has this light to her eyes that is so amazing! I
love her so much!!
I
love this church so much, I know that Heavenly Father loves all of us
and wants us to pray to him daily!!!! I LOVE our Father in Heaven!! He
gives us so many blessing everyday!!!! How lucky are we!!? :)
Have a great week!!!
