It
rained this week. Every day. All day. Which is really weird
for Nevada, this is the most rain they have gotten for years. But I'm not
complaining! It keeps things cool, gets rid of the fires that are going
on, and who doesn't love dancin in the rain? Not that we have time for
that but still. And it means that we get to see rainbows almost every day.
Nothing beats coming out of an amazing lesson with a rainbow peeking
through the clouds and mist.
Anywho. What
happened this week.... it was a crazy week. We went to transfers (even
though both of us were staying) and had to house missionaries that were leaving
to go out East or had a new companion coming on the bus the next day from out
East. So we had 3 missionaries staying with us for 24 hours....that was a
party. Perks of living right across from the mission office! You
get roped into everything ;) It was fun though. I don't think we
overwhelmed too many people with the army of missionaries coming over for a
lesson; hopefully ha-ha
Sis Sweany and I were
asked to provide the music for the funeral for the lady that passed away last
week so we had to go to that. Fun times. Actually it was really
awkward because we only knew her, we didn't know anyone that came to her
funeral so I kind of felt like I was intruding. But it was nice to be
able to go and hear the stories about her and everything so I'm glad they asked
us to participate.
Ok, done with the
dreary stuff. Awesome something that happened this week! Our
investigator, Zack got baptized this weekend! His dad was baptized a
couple weeks ago but he wasn't quite ready yet so we waited a couple weeks,
taught him some more and he made the leap this weekend. Well, since his
dad now has the Priesthood, he was able to baptize Zack! Which was so
awesome! I can't even explain how amazing it is to see someone, who, a
few months ago was kind of rough around the edges change to someone who is able
to baptize his kids. And I don't know if you remember the picture we took
at Chuck’s baptism but the difference is so amazing to this picture. He
has changed in just the few short weeks since he has been baptized he actually looks different.
The gospel has so much power to change our lives and make us into better
people, more like our Savior Jesus Christ. It's such a blessing to me and
I am so thankful that I have this opportunity to share what I care about so
much with others and then see them change because of it. And the best
part of the baptism was that when we went in, it was stormy and rainy and nasty
outside, and when we walked out, everything was calm and clear, and there was a
huge double rainbow in the sky. If that's not symbolic, then I don't know
what is.
It was a wonderful
experience and can I just say again, the Church is true and I love being a
missionary! The rest of the week flew by and I don't remember most of it
but it was good. Like always :)
I hope everyone has a
great week and enjoy the last bit of summer!
Love,
Sis Rae
