I hope all of you have been doing well. It's been a slow week to be
honest. I came down with a pretty bad cold that left me in bed for 3
days. Good stuff happened though! And great stuff is going to happen
this week as well.
Tuesday was just full of miracles left and right. We were walking in
Pennsville (city right next to the Delaware River) and it was a pretty
hot day. So what happened was a lady pulled up in front of us to help
out her neighbor whose electric scooter pretty much died in some park.
So we walked to this park and put the scooter in her truck and she
gave us a giant cooler of waterbottles in her front yard (she had to
run errands). So we drank a few of those which was really refreshing.
Then when we were walking again, Elder Brewer started to feel pretty
bad from the heat and so we stop in front of some abandoned store and
a registered nurse comes walking around the corner and tells us she
had the impression to stop and go to the corner. So she checks out
Elder Brewer to make sure he's okay and gives him some water before
she leaves. It was a definite witness to me that God does look out for
His missionaries. It was really comforting to me personally.
Thursday we had our final District Meeting of the transfer which went
really well! After that, I went on an exchange in Vineland with Elder
Dean. He's been out 3 months longer than me and he's got a good heart.
It's pretty funny, we actually got caught in a rainstorm while we were
walking. It just came out of nowhere and we were drenched by the time
we came back to the apartment. So after a few showers and a change of
clothes later, we went back out in the storm (with umbrellas) and
travelled throughout Vineland visiting a few people. But by the end of
the night, that's when the cold started to hit and I just shut down.
The next few days were tough, we swapped back Friday and I was in bed
for the next few days. It drove me crazy I couldn't go out and work,
but I was just praying so hard to just get pass this sickness. It's
been good because I have gotten better little by little up to now.
It'll be a good week to bounce back to though! It's the last week of
the transfer and we have a baptism lined up for this Sunday for
Deborah! We can't wait for Sunday! I apologize I didn't write a lot,
it happens when you're out of commission for a few days. I hope you
all have a great week!
