More news from Hermana Brown than Sari this week:
WELL I PROMISED YOU A STORY.
AND YOU ALL SHALL GET A STORY.
Hello. Love from the Southern Hemisphere.
Fun thought. I am still closer to Antarctica than I am to all of you.
Carry on.
WELL HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO you wonderful people :) I would like to share some good times :)
MARTES, my 5 month mark in the mission (Wow. Holy crap. I am not okay with this..... hmmmmm...)
Life was REALLY good to me:)
The day started with the us trying to write to you all and my family since last monday was... less time.
The computer didn´t work.
Lord says no.
Then,
after being a bit down in spirits, we took to the street.... where we
were talking to a lovely lady in the street, and a member from another
city POPPED INTO THE LESSON and testified that what we were saying was
true... She began to smile and then really listen. We testified of the
blessings that the gospel of Jesus Christ has for her and her family. It
was incredible. Never never never underestimate the power that you can
have on someone, even if it was really short. A 2 second smile, a wave
in the street, and small compliment. PLEASE know how much your actions
can help someone else :)
Annnnnd that was the same feeling we
got when we shared a picture of Christ with a cute little family who
thanked us over and over for their first picture of Jesus they can put
in their home :) It was really sweet.
Also.
We have
been going to the doctor for my lovely companion since other country
food messes with the Americans. (Except for mine. I am fine. I believe I
have a stomach made from steel???? I need to talk to my parents and
figure it out....) Anyhow, the medical staff was really quick, really
eager to help, and even offered to talk in English for us to be mroe
comfortable :) THAT WAS KIND!
Annnnd then I bought Hermana
Sant some Grido´s, popular ice cream here and... it was a miracle that
the men working there didn´t kick me out the door after I asked for the
wrong ice cream.
I said I would like dirty chocolate, instead of I would like swiss chocolate..
Sucio=dirty, Suizo=swiss.... yes.. That is DEFINTELY what a missionary, trying to represent Jesus Christ should say.
Aha.
Ahem. Yes... Duly noted and I will never return to that place ;)
Kidding... I need more ice cream in my life...
Then,
we were able to make it to our apartment EXACTLY when the mission
office was calling us to inform us they needed us to be in our apartment
to put in the alarm. :)
Then, the senior couple gave us a ride to the little town next to us since there are only like, 2 buses. One at 9 am and one at 6pm.
And, to try to find our friend Ana who we could not find, but had
begged us to come visit her...we were upset we couldn´t find her...
THEN,
we were able to be in the right place at the right time to help a
friend of ours try to learn how to study the scriptures :)
THENNNNNNNNNN
We
caught the bus, in the nick of time, to come back to town. WHERE WE
FOUND ANA!!!!!!!!!! She just about suffocated us hugging us so hard, and
now we know where we can find her. All cause, again. The Lord put us in
the right place in the right time.
THEN we tried to write again.
Computer still didn´t have internet..
BACK TO THE STREETS.
Sad
we couldn´t write our families and I couldn´t write you all... We
headed to some friends that asked us to share the Book of Mormon with
them...
Who we couldn´t find in their house.... so we came
back to the middle of town, unsure what to do. Started walking to the
church...
AND FOUND SOME FRIENDS THAT WE HAD LOST CONTACT WITH FROM THE OPEN HOUSE, OPEN CHURCH THING WE HAD THE OTHER WEEK!!! GAHHHHHHH!
We wrote down how we could contact them and just about squeezed their eyeballs out we were so happy :)
THEN.
COMPUTER WORKED. I COULD SEND EVERYONE A QUICK EMAIL.
AND NEARLY DIED OF HOW MANY BLESSINGS I COULD FIND IN JUST ONE DAY.
My lovely friends.
Here is my message.
Our loving Heavenly Father puts us in places, where we may not want to be, where we may think that our plan is a good one but...
He puts us in the place we need to be, when we need to be there. Our plan for ourselves may be good, but His is better :)
Trust in this :)
This was one day, and not even all the miracles :)
Take
note of what happens in the day, even when you least expect it, and you
will find SO many blessings that our Heavenly Father has in store for
you :)
I LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY.
Also.
Big things :)
Had the missionary, world wide broadcast...
AND THERE HAVE BEEN CHANGES.
We still wake up at 6:30 EVERY morning :) Tis a good time.
BUT NOW?!
WE CAN GO TO BED BETWEEN 9:30 and 10:30. LIKE: IT USED TO BE AT 10:30.
ANYYYYYYYYYYONE who knows me and my love of sleep will know, this is monumental.
You better bet your bottom dollar I am loving this.
ALSO.
