Man am I grateful for humidity! Humidity will always remind me of the first day I got in the mission and all the good days. Reminds me of hiking in the alps in Germany and walking around Iceland, so it is always good to feel some good humidity again! :)
Having been in Virginia it has been record rain fall levels last fall. Now lets see how the spring goes... there has been sooo much rain already! I am really getting to love rain, which is odd, I am usually a sunny-day-only kind of person!
Anyways enough of the weather... well one more thing, last night we were at a member's house for dinner and we got outside and it was raining pretty hard, we went to our car and saw this dog walking around by itself and saw this little kid yelling it's name... so we decided that we had to help these people get their dog back! The dog was running around a few houses, and the second you would start to get close to it, it would think it was a game and it would run around the houses again... Sister Minaker loves dogs and wanted to so badly help these people, so we tried for about 10 minutes helping this dog in the pouring rain with no rain coats or umbrellas! Then when Sister Minaker bent down and started to clap her hands, the dog start coming towards her and Sister Minaker was able to catch him! The owner was so grateful! We gave her our card and let her know that if it happens again, we can help! :) There's my rain story for ya! hahah!
This past week was kind of crazy! Many lessons, many different things that were unplanned but led to being the things that were meant to happen! The Spirit is kind of silly that way! Haha but it is so beautiful and amazing how it works! This past Monday the Spirit prompted sister Minaker and me to go to this guy name Garrett. Sister Minaker had this idea that we could both pray to know where to be when we didn't know where to go and write down 2 areas within our area to know where to be and who needed us at that time, she wrote down 2 places, I wrote down 2 names and 2 places.. haha. I thought of Garret and another guy that I saw in our area book but never met. I also wrote down the name of the place Garrett lived in and didn't know it, but so did she! We were meant to go to his house at that time! He had had a knee surgery and was on crutches when we first met him. He had told us to come back and to text him. We had texted him, but no response. we went back and he was walking around and no crutches! He had remembered that Sister Minaker is from Canada! How cool!
Tuesday was absolute chaos!! There was AT LEAST 5 whole lessons, 90 degrees, 100% humidity, and barely enough time for lunch! Many miracles happened on this day! The devil was working hard on us but we just kept pushing through!! We had an awesome lesson with the recent convert in the YSA congregation and a member from the congregation! He has so many good questions of the Holy Ghost and how he can feel it and follow it more! He sounds a lot like me! Hahaha!
We had a church tour with Yamilet! Wow was that spiritual! She truly is so connected with the spirit and wants to be as Jesus Christ! As we showed her the baptismal font she explained how she can't wait till that is her! She explained how the church was so clean and organized and how it is a church that actually FEELS like a church!!
We had another church tour with a man from Canada and he loved it! He felt the spirit so strong as we testified of the Atonement of Jesus Christ! How beautiful it was to help him come to more of a knowledge of Jesus Christ!
Love you all! Have a great week!
May the "Forth" (4th) be With you!
Always love!
Sister Chaffin
