To the best friends and family a person could hope for!
This week was amazing! We found two new people to teach. One
of them named Will, has a lot of potential. He is amazing at drawing, and we
were able to go to a swap meet where he was selling some of his drawings, and
taught him the plan of salvation. A swap meet is a weird place to have a lesson
and feel the spirit, but it was pretty amazing as we taught him and as we
answered his questions. We're super excited for him!
A miracle as well happened for our safety this week!! Sunday
evening, we were a little late to an appointment as our dinner arrived late. We
quickly drove to our appointment after shoveling the food in our mouths, and
100 ft to our destination, a police car zooms past and parks in front of the
house we were going to. We pulled over, and 10 other police cars zoomed past,
and a fire truck and ambulance blocked the street behind us. We watched in
amazement as the police men pulled out their guns, surrounded, and then barged
inside of the house, arresting two of the people we were going to visit. It was
one of the craziest experiences of my mission!! It's crazy to think that if our
dinner wasn't late or if we hadn't taken the time to pray before the leaving
the apartment, we'd have been stuck in the middle of that situation. It's a
miracle and tender mercy that we were able to stay out of it and safe!
That evening I prayed in gratitude that God kept us safe. He
loves us and I am grateful for the many prayers from all of you for my safety
and happiness. I know God is answering them.
Love you all! Shout out to my amazing sister Eliza who gave
birth this morning to a beautiful little boy named Easton! I'm so excited for
her!
