This week's letter is dedicated to the tv show 24. You'll never believe everything that can go on in 24 hours. 6 pm Saturday night- we are in Graham, WA. Yes, my first area in the mission. We are back because NAZARETH IS GETTING BAPTIZED! Nazareth was one of the people Hermana Souza and I taught back in December. She is so aweosme, from the Dominican republic and has been progressing so much. She loves the book of mormon and was so happy to be baptized :) I loved being there with her and seeing the whole branch again. it was a tender mercy for sure. But it was amazing. 8pm - we are getting gas at a gas station and There is a very passionate jehovahs witness at the pump next to us who starts trying to fight with us about religion and really me and hermana wilson aren't saying anything we really respect what everyone believes and we love how passionate she was but no she talked to us for 20 min at this gas pump and told us everything that's wrong with our religion and how she thought sister missionaries weren't real. Hey there Satan trying to make us feel bad after a baptism we see you. 10pm - we recieve a drunk text from Antonio telling us he doesn't want to meet with us anymore because he thinks he's falling in love with us. Okay its fine I can cry in my bathroom for a bit. 630 am sunday morning - alright todays going to be better i'm going to watch bible videos instead of getting ready. 10 am - leave the house to find a half eaten, rotting, dead rat on top of our car. we are still unsure of how it got there... but it was repulsive!!!!! so gross!!! 11am - hermana reed finally gets the dead rat off the car with a stick and has bleached her hands twice :) 12:30 pm - we're at church. Life is better. we have 4 investigators! 2 are from venezuela, new investigators we literally met Saturday afternoon who have been praying for someone to come to their door to help them find the path God has for them because they don't speak the language of this country. So amazing. So prepard. Lisvi and Darwin and their cute lil 4 year old Camilla who LOVED CHURCH SO MUCH :) 2:30 pm we're about to start sacrament meeting, but Lastenia is crying?? so we go out to the hall and she tells us that the situation at her home has gotten out of control. She needs to leave and she needs to leave today. 3:30 pm the RS says that Lastenia and Esmy can move into her house. miracles. 6 pm - we talk to the zone leaders who are going to start teaching Antonio now because we know he knows this is the true church but Satan is confusing his feelings of the spirit for feelings of love for the sisters. My heart was pretty broken. But the elders will do so good! 7 pm - we are at lastenias helping her move all her stuff out. Is this really happening? we are so happy because theyre going to be SAFE and even more HAPPY. 8:45 pm - okay we gotta hurry we have to be home but Esmy is just following us around why isn't she helping us? we say Esmy come on lend us a hand let's go and in all the craziness she says/kidna shouts "me quiero bautizar". everyone stops moving. um WHAT. she says "me quiero bautizar ahora". She said she's wanted to be baptized for a long time but she hated all the fighting and yelling in the house but now that theyre leaving she wants to do it now before school starts. She's getting baptized next wednesday. probably the most ridiculous and emotionally straining 24 hours of my life but here's to the fact that God can plan way better than I can and that miracles happen every day. I love you all have a great week!! Hermana Reed IV 1- rita moved to mexico ):
