something cool i
saw this week was a viewing. we went to visit our less active, whose
mother died and i expected some consoling, some tears, and some hugs and
chao... she says want to see my mom? we go in, to the dining room. all
the kitchen chairs were lined against the wall, all the walls covered in
white sheets and in the middle of the room was a casket with flowers
around in buckets, cups and vases. there she was, and we met her mother.
the casket had jesus christ engraved on it, and was gorgeous. there
were four lights coming out of framing on the sides that im pretty sure
were four of the original stones that the brother of Jared had touched
to give his tight like unto a dish boats light. i thought about my sweet
family and the good moments we have had. and other funerals i went to.
one night we got stuck in the rain and others we
didn't enter any houses. At least we know that opposition still exists.
haha The nights have been dang cold, but we are happy. My companion and I
have talked about just about every topic on earth, but I love her to
death... haha
I felt a great rebirth as I asked for a blessing
from the Elderly elder that looks like the man from UP. If he just wore
his pants a little higher and had balloons ...this blessing reaffirmed
my testimony. that was a very strong spiritual experience and I know the
Lord hears us. I could not be more sure. It said that sometimes we are
here to teach our companions and investigators and members, everyone.
And i know that's true. Maybe to teach myself too.
Exaltation comes every week in the branch here,
they always say OH THE SWEET MISSIONARIES; oh! if we only had their
spirituality.. and their sweetness and their drive! (LITTLE DO THEY
KNOW)
also, something nasty you might want to know. last night
we were walking and saw a huge (id estimate a gallon) puddle of blood.
BLOOD! Not funny. we left pretty quickly. annnnd yep. That is it for
the week.
Have a great one! Love to all,
Hermana Nokes
