This week was fantastic! We had so many miracles this week,
and even squeezed in a fun day! It was fantastic!
First for the fun stuff. We got to go to a midevil festival
this week. It was absolutely amazing! It took up almost a Whole block (When i
say block, i mean bigger than temple Square sized block). They brought in dirt
to cover up all the cement to make it as midevil as possible. Everyone there
was dressed up, tourists and workers alike! My inner nerd came out. They were
selling midevil wares everywhere. I almost bought a dress, but then decided
that it's not missionary appropriate... too bad... My favorite part of the
Whole thing was the jousting! I felt like i was in a knight's tale! It was
fantastic! The knights did all of the jousting games and they held it like they
would a real jousting tournament back in the 16th Century. The coolest part of
the Whole thing was that a lot of the Buildings they were using were originally
built in that era... awesome!
So that was fun. We got lots of fun Pictures and had a blast
with the Whole thing.
This week we had one miracle story that i would like to
share. IT starts off with quite the disapointment, which is why i think i like
it so much. It's always darkest before the dawn, right? Well, anyway, we were a
bit early to an appointment, so we decided to go visit a lady in the
area who had previously rejected us. On our way, we saw one of our other
investigators. We decided to go up and say hi. We were not expecting what came
our way. He went from being so excited about our NeXT appointment when we last
saw him, so telling us that he no longer wanted to meet with us! NO! We were
devastated! We were so excited for his appointment, and we had such high hopes
for him.
After getting dropped, we continued on to this lady's
Apartment. we expected her to just reject us like last time, but when we
knocked on the door, she was so excited to see us, and she let us in! We
came in and began talking to her. after about 30 seconds she broke
Down crying. We didn't quite understand what was going on, but then
she explained to us that she had just gotten in from the doctors where
they told her that the cancer she has has spread to most of her vital
organs. They don't know how she's still alive, but they told her not to expect
to live any longer. But, she said that as soon as the doctors told
her the news, she said she knew that there was a reason that she was still
alive and there was something that was supposed to happen before she died. When
we knocked on her door, she knew we would be the ones to help her.
Well, we wanted to make another appointment with her, but the NeXT week was
completely filled up. Literally every minute of every day has some
sort of appointment or training or something. But, we remembered that we
had just been dropped by our other investigator, which opened up an hour
of the week. We offered to come back that day and time, and she said
that was the only day she was home from the hospital. She is so excited
and anxious to learn about the gospel and to see how we can help her.
I am amazed at how the Whole situation worked out. Heavenly Father really does
know his children and He knows exactly what they need at exactly what time. I
am so humbled by the Whole experience.
Well, i hope that everyone has a great week! Look for the
tender mercies from our father in heaven and remember them. Love you all!
Kærlighed,
Søster Handley
