Well it wasn't so "Little"
of April Showers....we got a good 2 hours of pouring rain yesterday! So
yesterday, my companion was too sick to work so she stayed home with another
sister and i went out with the ward missionaries....here you don't just go out
with 1 at a time; you go with all of them. So I went out to find some less
actives with the youth and young single adults. We walked into a house with the
sun shining, 101 degree weather, and not a cloud insight...about 1/2 through the
lesson it started POURING! That's when a younger boy came in that we are trying
to reactivate so we decided to teach him until the rain let up (which we
assumed would happen in like 5 more minutes) then continue on our way. That's
not exactly what happened. We ended up getting stuck in this member's house for
another hour. When it started to ease up, we decided to leave before it could
start again. The only problem was that it was completely flooded! We had to
trudge our way through a muddy flood to get back to a main paved road! It was
really funny. Afterwards i was assuming these poor, soaking wet Ward
Missionaries would want to call it a day but instead they asked " Where
next, Sister Norman?" I am so thankful for our diligent ward missionaries!
This week is transfer week so i am
excited to see if i will be staying in Moncada with Sister Laiti or if one of
us is leaving! Either way I am ready for it. This last week has been a
bit challenging. I got sick for a few days, we had our family that was going to
be baptized move to manila for a few months, companion was sick parin and just
normal stress that everyone get. But the amazing part of it was overcoming all
of the trials and my shortcomings with the help of the atonement and finding
solace in The Book of Mormon, prayer, hymns, and service. This week was
evidence that anything is possible with the Lord's help. I am constantly being
reminded of how much my Savior and my Father in Heaven love me. This week the
endless prayers from my Sister, her husband, me,and their friends and family
and leaders were answered! She got the medical clearance they have been
yearning for, for a few months now to go to Japan. It was done all in the
Lord's time and how He knew would be best for her and her family. I am thankful
for the faithful prayers that were answered! Sorry for the shorter message this
week! I love and miss all of you! Take care!
Watch and share...there will be new videos each month!
