It is definitely heating up over here! Finding in 110 degree weather is a little challenging but that is what we are out here doing! Everyday we sweat buckets but we love doing it! No one can truly understand the feeling of a missionary. People continuously question why we are doing what we are doing and it gives us the perfect opportunity to testify of the truth we share!
This week we had exchanges up in Midland which are always great! We love our sister training leaders and we love the chance to learn from other missionaries!
Sister Christensen broke her bike this week so that was an adventure. Luckily Heavenly Father was watching out for us! We had been riding all day and we were headed to our dinner appointment when it happened. Somehow the derailer and the chain got bent up into her wheel. Needless to say it was not rideable. We were trying to be independent and fix it ourselves (not possible) when Heavenly Father prompted our branch president to drive down the road that we were on. At the same time that he and his wife pulled up a man with a truck pulled up. It was perfect because the man in the truck was able to take our bikes back and the branch president and his wife were able to take us home to clean up and get our car. It was a mess! The next day we ended up having to take her bike to a shop in Odessa. We plan on picking it up on our way to zone conference this week.
We had 30 people at church so that was good! Almost didn't have enough priesthood for the Sacrament but we made it! I had to play piano for primary so that was interesting!
We had an amazing lesson this week!! Her name is Maria and the other sisters found her about a month ago. We finally were able to see her again and had a great Restoration lesson! She is a single mom of 4 kids. She told us that her 9 year old son the night before had picked up the Book of Mormon and told her very firmly that she needed to read that book because it would bring their family closer. We were able to testify that it is true and that she will find peace through that book! We haven't had any contact since Monday but we are supposed to have another lesson tonight so pray that it goes through! She also wants us to teach her kids!! Miracles!!
Love y'all!!!
