Neither of them had told us anything was going on...

 October 13, 2014

Well, this week was....interesting...good, but, well, different. We had a really great family home evening Monday night, it was really good, but then Tuesday, we were supposed to go to the church because the plumber was gonna come fix some stuff.   Well, he showed up a half hour late, then took 15 minutes, and left saying he'd be back in about 10 minutes... 20 later he came back saying he'd be back in another 15.....we then waited for 1 hour and a half, before he came, at which point we had been there 3 hours, and he took another hour and a half before he was done....it was a long day.  Then for the rest of the week, time was just wired.  But, Friday we had intercambios, that was fun, and then Saturday night we had a really neat experience. 

We went to go visit some members we haven't seen for a while, and when we asked how one of them was, she said she wasn't too good, but she'd been in the hospital for the past week, and could we give her a blessing.   Then, right as we were about to, another member walked in, one of her friends, and we found out she had just barely had a surgery....and so we gave her a blessing too!   But neither of them had told us anything was going on, so it was crazy, but that we were able to give them blessings was really good.  It was really spiritual, and it made me realize again how blessed I am to be here to work with such wonderful people.  I love serving a mission.  It is the best!!

Have a great week!! Thanks for everything!
