As anticipated, the trials and troubles have not receded in the slightest. That does not mean, however, that we haven't had a great time. This week, we've even had a few little miracles that just made the week worth while.
The first occurred on Friday. Sister Rowena is one of the members whom we've helped to reactivate this past transfer. Though a little scared, she agreed to work with us on Friday. We told her we would meet her at her house at 1:30. When we showed up, however, her mom said that she had already gone to the church to meet us there. We rushed to the church as fast as we could praying that she would still be there waiting for us when we got there. Yet when we arrived there was no Sister Rowena. My companion wanted to return to her house, figuring she would have gone back, but for some reason I felt certain that if we went all the way back, we would return again empty handed. I felt we needed to check at a nearby member's home. I had seen Sister Rowena leave with this member on Sunday and I felt certain everything would work out if we just went there. We arrived at the members house to find Sister Rowena sitting on their couch and watching for us through the front window. We had a wonderful day of work with her and, even more importantly, she had a great time.
The other miracle we had was with Sister Besita, someone we've been teaching. She is the person I was referring to last week when I said that our investigator had a stroke. She wanted to come to church with us last week, but when we showed up at her house, her son told us that she was in the hospital due to a recent stroke. It was minor, fortunately, and she was released from the hospital on Tuesday. We visited her again this week and she expressed that she wanted to come to church with us if she was feeling good enough. We hoped and prayed all week that she would recover enough to attend with us. When we got to her house Sunday morning, she was ready and waiting for us outside their house. She had such a wonderful time at church!
Well, those are the fun experiences for the week. Hope yours has been great too!
Palangga Ko Kamo,
