Wow it dumped buckets this week! It had been sunny for a few days so we knew something big was coming! We got hit with some great rain storms. One night it hailed so much it looked like everything had a fresh blanket of snow! Haha how magical!
We taught our good friend Marta again. She gets it. She knows the book of Mormon is true and has just been drinking it all up. It's like she finally found something to quench her thirst. She has a baptismal date for the end of the month but she has to find a new job before that can happen. It's hard. We've been looking around town to see if we can help her with the search but it's not easy here! We have been trying to teach her that it is not miracles that bring greater faith but rather faith that brings miracles. We are just fasting and praying! This really is what she needs!
This week we finally got to do some service. A lady we've been trying to help come back to church called us and said hey in stead of meeting today can you come help me move a few things. Bring the elders. So we assembled the crew real quick, put some jeans on a went over there. We thought it would be like a 1 hour thing buuuuuuuut three hours later we had helped her completely moved pisos. We hauled beds, food, a TV, everything down 3 flights of tight little stairs.. Walked it across town and into the new piso. We finished just in time for the hail storm of the century. It was fun to do something a little different. Refreshing!
I can really say I don't know where this week went. It felt like it was three days long! But life is good! It's like walking backwards up an escalator. You can never stop working to stay afloat! But it's a fun little challenge, and you laugh a lot along the way and every day cool people come in and out of your life, and you always miss the bus and get rained on, but go to bed really happy and tired and ready to do it all again the next day!
Life is good. Galicia is wet. The Book of Mormon's true.
