So, fun fact. The hurricane was headed straight for our mission, but then it turned, so it is not directly hitting us. The bad thing is that our roof is leaking and we are going to get DUMPED ON while the hurricane passes 😀 but we are just grateful that we aren't getting hit. Send prayers to Florida please for all the people that do get hit!! 🙏 We called some people about the roof and they didn't take us very seriously, but don't worry, they are fixing it today! Anyways, that's enough about that. This week was WILD!!!!
We taught at a
youth night and it was so cool! We had each of them bear their
testimonies at the end and afterwards all of the leaders came up and
thanked us. Apparently the youth had never born their testimonies
before!! At girls camp and youth conference nobody ever got up!! We
brought them all cookies the next day!
So umm,
ring doorbell cameras, not our friend. We were out visiting ward members when
the rains came DOWN!!!!! We got umbrellas and ran to a porch and dropped
off what we needed to and then the lightning struck really hard and
close and the ward member said, "oh my gosh!" And then we shut the door
and ran to the car (which the ring camera happened to catch) 😂 so
funny.
My district leader forgot my name in
district council. Actually. I don't know if he even knew it in the first
place. 😂 I feel like Sister Peterson is pretty basic, but whatever.
I
hit my 4 months this week!!! Yay!! You know how I celebrated? With the
weirdest weekend. This is where it gets exciting.
I
got a paw patrol pillow pet in the mail which made me so happy! Then we
found out that one of our close ward members was in the hospital
for a mini stroke! We had a dinner appointment, so we decided we would
take him flowers after. Sister Davis told me that the man we were eating
with was kind of awkward and in his 50's. She. Was. Wrong. This man was
definitely not in his 50's and he had the craziest life story I've ever
heard!! 😳 He is from Brazil and he told us that he was huge into drugs
and then he eventually came to America and worked for THE MAFIA.
Afterwards he came to Florida where he got kicked in the face by a horse
which broke his skull. (His face is still swollen after 2 years!) In
the hospital he had a really spiritual experience which made him turn
his life around and here he is! The dinner was an hour and a half and he
told us the craziest stories! After that, visiting hours were over at
the hospital, but the nice guard took the flowers to the Brother in our
ward.
Next day was stake conference where the
stake president pretty much yelled over the pulpit that we didn't have
enough baptisms in our stake. He eventually turned it into something
good, but man. It was intense!!! Then we called to check on the brother
in the hospital and his wife was so angry. She said, "HE ESCAPED! HE
UN-HOOKED HIMSELF FROM THE MACHINES AND ESCAPED." He was fed up with
being there for "observation" and they took too long to let him take a
shower, so he went home to take a shower. We were shook! We didn't even
know what to say! The whole time I just kept thinking wow... I feel like
that's something my Grandpa Baldwin would do! 😂 Anyways, he's hopefully
chillin now.
Miracles: we are teaching a
couple (Dean and Darlie) and they are literally the cutest!!!!! They
came to a baptism and they loved it!! They even wanted to take pictures
with us! They are so elect. We love them! We also had a lady in our ward
come up and say that one of her son's friends wants to be baptized! So
we are meeting him and his family this week!! I guess he has been going
to seminary!!
Love you all! Hope you have the best week!
