Well p-day was awesome. We drove up to Corpus because we had like 500 extra miles to use. So we played basketball for like 2 1/2 hours. Corpus against Robstown. After that we drove all the Sisters...so only 6 to North Padre Island. We went to this shop on the island and got some pretty awesome stuff. After that we drove home.
We had some appointments fall through. But ended up teaching Sister Childers and her Son who just got baptized about the new children's program. It went pretty well.
Tuesday we had a pretty good district council meeting. After that we went by some people to see how they are doing. Then went to the FHE we had with Cecilia and the Andersen family. She wasn't there yet and she is never late. She also wasn't answering our calls.
So we left to go to her house to make sure everything was okay. But as we were getting out of the car. Sister Coleman tripped on her backpack. Then as she got up to catch up to me her knee popped out of place and the she tripped and fell again and it popped back into place. So she ends up on the sidewalk. Laughing/crying holding her knee. I was DYING laughing. I felt so bad. I tried to help her up but was laughing to hard I couldn't. Then this random guy stops his car in the road and asks if we're okay. It was so awkward. But I had to help her get back to the car. And I was still laughing... so I stopped walking because I physically couldn't 😂and she ended up just hopping to the car. I just kept apologizing...while laughing so it wasn't very sincere.
But Cecilia showed up right after we left. And we had an awesome lesson on the Plan of Salvation. It was a great FHE.
So Wednesday we didn't go anywhere because of Sister Coleman's knee. It was HUGE. So she just iced it. We got some crutches. Eventually we went to our dinner appointment and then another appointment right after. Who wasn't even there.
It was a great start to our new year. Haha
Thursday we went to an urgent care in Corpus to check her knee out because she still had a lot of pain. We were there for 3 1/2 hours. It wasn't very urgent apparently. But when we got there everybody and their dog decided to show up at the same time.
Sister Coleman got a blessing from some of the elders right after that. Then we headed back to Portland straight to an appointment with John, our investigator. He's pretty cool. He said he's going to read the whole Book of Mormon by Sunday. We were like...okay awesome haha. He's super interested in the church.
The rest of the night was just some appointments. But right before dinner there were two huge rainbows 🌈 🌈. Double rainbow all the way!
Friday was pretty great. We had some good appointments with our investigators. When we were done with teaching Cecilia we asked her if she needed help with anything. She said she needs help buying groceries at the store. Because it's hard when she has to take her baby with her.
So we all went to HEB right across the street and we pushed the cart so she didn't have to worry about the cart and her stroller. She was so happy we could help her. Then after that she made us dinner because we were just going to go back to the apartment anyway. She told us that when we come back the next time she also will cook us lunch. She was a chef on a cruise ship in the Mediterranean for 5 years. Her food is delicious!
Saturday, umm. We went by a ton of people and reminded all of them about church. I hope they actually come. The worst thing is when they say they are excited to go to church...then they don't show up. And then tell you oh sorry we were busy. Nothing is more important then God. It's only 2 hours of your whole stinking week that you physically go somewhere to worship him. Why not go?
Anyway we had some appointments that were pretty good. We were just trying to find as many people as we can that would be interested in learning more about Jesus. We actually found a cute little family of 5 that said we could come back. This week. That was a miracle.
We had one person at church on Sunday!!! Yay!
Holy cow Sunday felt like an eternity for some reason. But we had not been doing very good this week about finding new people to teach. So Sunday night we running to almost every possible person we could to teach them and see if they were interested or not. We hit our goal for the week almost in one night! Haha we had a ton of fun and it honestly made time fly.
I love this work. I love being a servant of the Lord. I know I'm here in Portland for a reason. I know I am meant to be here and touch people's lives whether I know it or not. SISTER COLEMAN IS AMAZING. She is such a hard worker and we get along so well. We have being doing super well with each other and our area is showing it...hopefully.
I know I represent our Savior. I know what I'm doing is his and not mine. I have a testimony that the Book of Mormon is true and it is the word of God. If you don't know that yet. Study, read, and pray about it. God will answer your prayers.
God is real. Jesus loves you.
