(Sister Slade)
This was an interesting week. Like last week, I really don't know where it went. Time just flew by.
This was an interesting week. Like last week, I really don't know where it went. Time just flew by.
We found a new person to teach! His name is Doug. I actually
wasn't there when Sister Davis found him because we were on exchanges BUT it
was super exciting to go back to central park and have a new person to teach.
I always seem to get talked into the crazy things. Remember
last month how we made 90 loaves of bread? I think what we're doing this week
will top that. We are running a half marathon on Saturday. Our mission
president gave us permission, and we got a promotion code because the
missionaries volunteer every year. So I get to die for free! Sister Davis and
another sister in my stake are running it with me, so now my insanity has
company. I can't decide if I'm excited of terrified. We've had about two weeks
to train, so we're super prepared... I actually think that we're going to be
okay. On Saturday, we ran 10 miles in
the pouring rain and we didn't die, and that's pretty close to 13.1 miles.
However, we are very sore now.
The older couple that we're teaching, Beverly and Brian,
have had a rough week. Brian has had cancer for 2 years and was put on hospice
care a couple of weeks ago. On Thursday night, he took a turn for the worse.
Beverly has really been struggling, so we've been going by every day.
Unfortunately, Brian passed away yesterday morning. Before he died, he had
asked me if I would sing at his funeral, so next Sunday, that's where I'll be.
I'm so grateful for the knowledge that I have about the Plan of Salvation. I
know that Brian is somewhere where he can continue to learn about and accept
the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I know that families can be together forever, and I
know that I will see Brian again and can sing hymns with and to him. The
subject line is something Beverly told us as we were leaving yesterday
afternoon.
You are loved!

2-4 some sisters borrowed our pan, so on our morning run we went to pick it up from them and then ran back with it
