So Sunday
we got up and the Zone leaders had texted that we were grounded, and I
was like this is fun. We were also told that Church was canceled, and
it was like well we get a full study time and then we get to go try
finding people. So we were studying when we got the call "Hey we need
help cleaning the church of snow." So we got our snow clothes on and ran
to meet the member at the intersection of 24th and Q, so we didn't quite
make it, Elder Barton's boots are too HUGE but it works out okay for us.
Well we went on the freeway after picking the other elders up and it was
sketchy. We were only going about 35 maybe 40 on the freeway, because
it was so windy and snowy and icy. It was all good, we survived and then
we shoveled tons of snow. Well once we were done a member offered us to
drive us to his house for a lunch dinner thing. So we drove and slid and
kind of spun a little, but we made it safely. Then shoveled his snow
and then had a good meal of sandwiches and soup, and we got stuffed. I am
trying to teach Elder Barton how to eat lots of food, I am not sure if
he gets it quite yet but he is almost there. Well we then went back
home and then got our paperwork for the accident, and started walking to
the house of the people who own the car. Well we were like 'this is
taking forever, maybe we will get a ride from someone' and a man stopped
and offered us a ride and so we got a ride to closer to our destination. It was good, sped us up a lot, and we also shared with him a little
message and gave him a card to call us. I hope he calls us or we find
him again. Well we visited the people who own the car and we got the
information sorted out. Then we talked a bit about The Book of Mormon
and we are going to visit them again. Well we started to walk to
another appointment, and we couldn't make it. We were half an hour from
the house walking and half an hour from the other people's house, who are
probably twenty or more minutes from our house in this weather obviously. So it was not reasonable to go on, we said a specific prayer asking
either to get a ride there in the next three minutes, because there were
lots of cars passing us, or that if no ride came we turned around (also
our phone had just died). So no ride stopped as we walked, so we turned
around. We stopped to help this man get unstuck and we couldn't do it,
and so I knelt and prayed for extra strength to do it. When I opened
my eyes two more men came jogging up to us and we pushed the car out.
Well we walked on and those same men realized we were just walking,
stopped and gave us a ride back. So it was cool miracles.
Well and yesterday, Monday,
we were basically trying to get our laundry to dry. Then we went and
took care of the car problem all freaking day and that is why this is
coming. I am obedient. We are meeting with a member to help her study for
the law school admissions test, so it is AWESOME!!!!! Ya, we teach
whatever we feel like. We are just that gifted in the Spirit to
teach whatever subject. Well that is my week.
