A stormy week!

So as most of you probably know by now, we had a big typhoon fly over our mission.. and it is actually still over our mission as of right now.  But the strongest part of the storm has already passed.  It was supposed to be a Category 3 or 4, which is very strong, but it ended up weakening and it ended up being ok! There was a lot of rain, and some really strong wind, but nothing that we couldn't handle! Everyone is ok, and my companion and I are all good :) 

This week we had a really awesome lesson.  We contacted a random lady who, at first, didn't seem interested at all.  But as we continued to BRT with her, and just try to show her that we were normal human beings who just wanted to "make a friend," she really opened up, and we ended up being able to teach her right there.  We opened with a prayer, and the second it ended, the lady broke down and started to cry.  We were a little confused at first, and didn't know if we should start yet, but we decided to continue with the lesson, and we kept asking her how she felt, and she kept telling us that she was feeling happy, and grateful that we were there, and that we cared about her and what was happening in her life.  We continued on to testify about Jesus Christ, and how he knows EXACTLY what she is going through, and that if she turns to him for help that she will receive that.  We then invited her to pray if our message was true and she accepted a return appointment.  The spirit was definitely there during that lesson, and I definitely saw her testimony grow.  I just hope and pray that she continues to stay interested!

We didn't get to work too much more though, because I got sick... but I think that it was more I was just insanely exhausted! We really worked hard this past week, and we had been biking every day, close to 10 miles a day, so my body needed a couple of days to catch back up with itself. But I'm all good now! Woo! 

It's crazy that it's already October 19th.... my companion and I weren't sure if that was really true this morning until we checked 4 different calendars. Haha. Fun times. 

Well, I hope that you all have a great week full of bliss and delight. 

Stay True
