Okay! Another story, with a miracle!
So this week,
me and my companion had the goal to get to know more members. Being us
both pretty new, it is necessary that we know the members. So we have an
appointment to visit a family that lives WAY UP in the mountains. There
are a type of bus here, that is called a micro, and this is way past
where the micros go... or the taxis... or any type of car..... way up
there. So we go with the RS president, and we have such a great time! They are a great family! AS we are there, it begins POURING RAIN. Harder
than I have ever seen in my life. We decide to wait till it passed to
leave.. after twenty minutes, a flooded yard, and even more rain, we
decide we have to go NOW. Before it gets worse. As we begin walking out,
(literally, in two seconds we were drenched....) we saw that GUESS
WHAT!!! The bottom of the hill is flooded! We have no way of getting
out. We are surrounded my water. The current is picking up the trees
from out of the ground and carrying them away!!!!!!!! There is no way we
are going to cross that by ourselves!
Long story short, a
golden member brought his car up, and after walking up to the top of the mountain, we were able to find a spot safer to cross. It was a four
hour process. He had to take us across one by one... cause the water
almost washed away the RS president. It ripped the skirt of my companion,
and broke my shoes. It was REALLY strong water. But, the Lord sent us
an angel, and a way out. That is all that matters. We were so grateful!
We came home to a flooded house, and I got super sick, but even now, I
am way more grateful for the Miracle of this member than anything!
I didn't take pictures... sorry:) haha
Braian got baptized on Saturday!!!!!:):):):):):
It was such an amazing experience! He is such an amazing guy! He has
such a strong testimony! He has plans to go to the temple in July, and
he already has a Preach my Gospel!!! Such a blessing to the ward!! :) Half of the young men in the ward are converts. They have all been
baptized within the past two years!! They are a priesthood army marching
forth! We are planning on having three more join their ranks in the
next month! Hold onto your hats, friends! :)
I hope you all have a wonderful week! Take care!!:)
Love, Hna Arave
