It has been in the high 90s all week and super humid. You walk outside and glisten automatically....then, when you get into a house you almost freeze because of the AC and all the sweat that is all over the body. it is actually pretty nasty. I've stopped hugging people for the most part because it is just nast....just saying.
This week has been filled with miracles as well. I think last week I told you about L.R. calling us about her husband wanting to take the lessons. Well, he is planning on being baptized on July 10th (Happy Birthday to Haylee!). We taught him about the restoration one day and committed him, then went back two days later and taught the plan of salvation along with the word of wisdom. He is a bartender but I don't think he has WOW problems. He is awesome. He came to church (the whole fam did) and they enjoyed it. I was super excited. I love them all so much. It was really cool because when we went to teach them, L. told me that when she would get home from our visits with her brother that she would tell him what we talked about....that sparked his interest so I guess I'm doing something right!
We were tracting and I totally ate it...it was embarrassing....haha. I was walking on this sloped curb when all of a sudden there were some grass clippings and water mixed together on it. Well, I fell...hard....the best part is that I had my warm water bottle open to get a drink so that went up in the air and landed all over me. So in addition to the sweat, I had water....and grass clippings all over....and I was bleeding. I have a good road rash on my knee and down my leg and the part of my foot looks a little infected, but not bad. It was funny....don't worry. I tell people....and then I say, "don't walk on the curbs!"
We had a cool miracle story with a woman named D. It was right before I ate it....We were tracting and she is somewhat of a pilot so I was talking to her about airplanes (like I know anything about it). Then, she let us in. She admitted she didn't know why she let us in but she felt like she should. After a few questions she told us how she had recently lost a lot of family members.... We talked about how it was a spiritual experience to be in the room of a dying person.....(using the experiences Kell sent me). She agreed and I asked, "Do you want to know where they are?" she was so excited. We went through the plan of salvation with her. She LOVED the Book of Mormon. She said it was all just so great! We asked her to be baptized and she gave the response I know, "I've already been baptized." We proceeded to tell her that next time we come we would talk about the authority and the priesthood. She said, "Maybe I don't know as much about baptism as I thought. I'm going to have to read up on it.....thank you so much for coming!"
Basically, D. is a searcher. We found her. She is amazing. I wish that she wasn't MOVING to C., LA. That is definitely not where we are..... I'm pretty much in H.C....
We were given the opportunity to teach A.H., J.M.'s good friend. He is already in 2 Nephi and could tell us all that had happened. He has even taught in Priesthood at church....he is 12. We challenged him to be baptized on July 10 as well. Hopefully he will be able to. He is so ready and wants to be baptized.....His parents said he could take the lessons. We are hoping to get them involved too. We need families....they are the best.
Oh, sad story: K.B. went in for tests the other day and there is one spot in each lung....they just told her two months ago that she was cancer free. They are deciding on the treatment. she is just 13 and it is so sad. She has miraculous faith though. I love that family so much and just want them to be happy. they are happy in the church and I think that it is bringing great comfort to them. They want to go to the temple to be sealed together for ever! p.s. I'm coming back when that happens.....even if I'm driving...ya'll can come too. ;)
Well, I love you and hope that you are having fabuloso times, wherever in the world you may be. I'm praying for you and your safety.....
Oh, ps did you all have good father's days?
I love you!
