It has been a little chilly this week. It has snowed and snowed and snowed!
Like 6 inches!!!!! The world stops in West Virginia when it snows. Nobody goes
out! They have these things called flurries here. Its where the wind picks up
the snow that has already fallen and blows it in your face and up your skirt! It
is not a pleasant feeling at all! Haha. Mercy, its gets cold!
This week was full of adventures! I drove the truck through a super deep
river! We may or may not have almost got stuck and died. Sister Erickson almost
peed her pants! It was a blast! I love driving a truck!! You can go anywhere and
do anything! I am wise though! Safety first!!
On Monday I got a call from one of our investigators asking us to come over
to her house because her cat had a wound that needed to be fixed. She knew I
internshipped with a vet clinic for a VERY small portion of my life and wanted me
to see if I could help the cat or not. So we get to the house and the cat has an
open wound the size of a silver dollar!!!!! I have no idea what to do!!! I came
on my mission to help people not animals!! Sister Erickson was totally grossed
out and so was I. We irrigated the injury and put some neo on it. I then told
the family that I had done everything I could but we needed heavenly fathers
help too! So we all kneeled down around this dying cat and said a short but
sweet prayer. The cat is still alive! Thank heavens!
So I had a sorta kinda had a traumatic experience this week. I was backing
up the truck and I scraped a little bit of the paint off of the upper right side
of the bumper. I lost all hope for a couple of minutes. We called the mission
vehicle coordinator and he told us he would examine the truck at zone conference
on Wednesday. I was freaking out!!! We super washed the truck and vacuumed the
inside like twelve times in hope of softening his heart. The day quickly came
and I thought I was going to vomit! During a break in the meeting I walked up to
him to apologize for the damage. Before I could speak he shook my hand and told
Sister Erickson and I that we had the nicest looking vehicle he had seen in
while. The scratches were not super deep so he wasn't worried about them! I am
so blessed! What a tender mercy!
This week was full of miracles. When it is cold the people don't like to go
out. So we can knock on any door and someone will be home. We have picked up 7
new investigators this week! What a blessing! Our investigators are all
progressing! I know that it is all because of God! I am so grateful to be
serving in Flatwoods. The blessings are so great as well as the people. There is
no greater gift than to get to serve Christ! I love ya.
