This week has been good and crazy all at the same time!! But I'll give y'all the highlights of the week!
Aight, so this week was good because life is great here in Florida! There is a part member family in my ward and they have the cutest little girl and she had a soccer game the night they were supposed to feed us. Well they were going to cancel but I was like we would love to go to ellies soccer game and support her. She's like 4 or 5 haha and she was like yeah she would love that! So we ended up having a picnic at this soccer game and Ellie was so cute and she was sooo excited that we were there! She loved it! So that was like one of my biggest highlights! I miss being able to play and hold kids! I'm getting baby trunky
Next highlight at church yesterday two visitors from Georgia came down! One lady was a member and the other lady wasn't. They were so nice and they came to gospel principles class and the non member loved it! She was so happy to be there and was so interested in the Gospel! It was awesome because we were able to give her a blessing after church and she was so grateful for us! She's super excited to learn more when she goes back up to Georgia! Even though we don't get to teach her it's so awesome to see people being prepared by the Gospel through members of the church! And that's how missionary work is supposed to be! They both drove down to Florida together and for that 4-6hour car ride she explained everything to her non member friend and invited her to church! It's so easy to share! I just couldn't imagine if she didn't say anything to her friend she would have never known about the restored gospel! I just love missionary work!
Alright so also yesterday, we are getting ready to go over to the Stevens for dinner. We get outside and it is dumping rain! Like HARD!!! We drive over to the sisters apartment to grab something for my leg and we get a text from one of the senior missionaries saying we are under a tornado warning! Well we stick around at the sisters apartment because it's dumping rain and we knew if you just wait a few minutes it will pass. So once it did we drove to the Stevens and on our way we see huge oak trees lifted up and debri everywhere and the solid brick mailboxes missing half of the bricks! It was crazy! Fire department and police officers were rushing up and down the roads. Also the sisters in my district saw a tornado touch down and take a roof off of a house! It was crazy! So for the next 20 minutes I'm calling all the missionaries in my area making sure they are all accounted for and safe. Letting them know of the dangerous tornados in the area.
Next crazy item on the list for my week! I had to call the cops in our neighborhood. Long story short I was sitting in my apartment getting ready to train my companion and I hear a scream and then I hear another scream for help. I quickly go to the back porch to see where it's coming from. My companion didn't here anything so he though I was crazy haha. So we just wait and we finally hear it again! Neighbors start coming out and talking to us so we wanted to go make sure this lady was okay. Well I was like we are not qualified for this cause who knows what's going on up there and we are not armed or able to protect ourselves. So I decided to call 911. So the police officers are on their way. We walk outside and we know she's on her balcony because we can hear her. So I'm like maim are you okay!? Maim can you hear me? Maim?! No response. So the officers finally get here and we explain it and the officers go up there flash a light at her and are trying to talk to her. She does not respond at all. Finally after a long time she just stands up and walks into her dark apartment. It was really creepy. The officers come in and looked like they searched around and talked to her. But she was crying and screaming for like 30 minutes straight! But the officers never told us anything and then they just left and she continued to cry. So that was an adventure. Hahaha
I love the south! Haha Something is always happening here! Lol We didn't have many teaching opportunities, a lot of our investigators are sick or out of town. But we will continue to find and teach even if I have to tract with crutches on! Haha
Well that's my week Y'all! Just those few highlights! Other than that it was just the regular routine! But I love and miss y'all so much! I hope you all have a great week!
