Hello! Not much to write this week but I'll do my best.
Tuesday
was my birthday! I feel really old. I cant believe I am not a teen
anymore. Time flies. We had a district meeting and at the end my zone
leaders surprised me with a cake and ice cream and they sang Happy
Birthday to me in English Portuguese and Spanish (because that's where all
of the missionaries in our zone are from). It was really sweet. :) The
rest of the day....I worked. And worked and worked. It was an
interesting birthday. Didn't really feel like a birthday but that's okay.
:) It was a pretty good day so that counts for something. When we were
walking home I used the money on my card and bought ice cream and pizza
for all of us to eat for dinner. We cooked and ate by candlelight because the power went out in our house. When it miraculously returned
we played Uno and went to bed.
The rest of the week was a lot of knocking on doors
and trying to find new people. We found lots of new people to teach this
week so hopefully next week will have more stories. :)
One cool story though is that we taught one lady the Plan of
Salvation. She loved it and was moved to tears when we taught her about
how we could be with our families. The next day we found out that her
brother was in a huge motorcycle accident that morning and had passed
away. The timing of the Lord is amazing. I am always so surprised when
little miracles like this happen. It is amazing to be a part of this
work. I know that although it is truly difficult to burden this
grief....it will be a little more comforting for her knowing about The
plan of salvation.
Love and miss you all more than you can imagine!
Sister Heyer
