This past week has been a bit different, but jam packed with
service! This last P-day we went into Boston and did the Freedom Trail. As we
were there we ended up running into a couple of people we had met on the street
a few weeks ago and it was cool to see them. Later on in the week we were
trying to weekly plan and this 17 year old kid just walked into the church
wanting to talk. He said he was really frustrated and needed some help. It was
cool to be able to just talk to him and help him out.
Because of the Hurricane
warning for the 4th of July event, it was moved to the 3rd. That was a
little weird, but it turned out great! We got permission to go and be out until
it was over, with the requirement that we would get home ASAP afterwards. The
show had to stop early because the storm came in. As they finished the show
everyone started heading for the t-stop and as we were in this huge line, we
just heard a lot of screaming down the road. We looked and just saw this huge
wall of rain coming our way. Within a few seconds it hit us and it was just
like somebody dumped a huge cooler full of water on us for 5 or 6 min! It was
freezing, but it sure was an experience!
We ended up doing a lot of service
this weekend as well. After that our beloved friend Alfredo Gomez, other wise
known as "Negrito" took us out to this great sub place called
D'Angelos.
On Sunday, Jack came to church! After that we broke our fast with
him and then went out on a bunch of visits with our Ward Mission Leader, Hno
Paula. It has been a great week.
Also earlier in the week we met with a youth and
we had no idea what to share with her. We got to her house and it was a great
visit! She expressed her desire to become closer with her mom, her fears,
frustrations and everything. It was definitely a tender mercy from the Lord to
have been able to help her. The Spirit that was there was so strong. This youth
is one of my favorite youth I have met in the mission field.... she is solid.
There are
a lot of things going on. I am continually trying my best to keep learning and
become who the Lord needs and wants me to be. I would be lying if I said the
Mission was easy, but I am so grateful for it and know that it is
definitely worth it!
I know that this is the Lord's work; that He is so much
closer to us and this work than we have any idea. As we do our best and try
to give Him our all, He can then magnify us. I leave these things with you in
the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
