From Rachel Weeks
Teaching in Georgia,
USA
First off, I just need to start with little funny
story that happened last Monday. It was all sunny outside and we have to clean
our car every week, so we took it through the car wash. But the guy working
there said that we aren't allowed to go through with a bike rack on the car..
So we gave him the key and the wrench and, after about 10 minutes of him
struggling and me holding up a whole line of cars sitting there, he had me pull
over and asked if I knew how to do it. Well, I looked down at myself in a skirt
and said, "Well, I have done it before but it has been a while." He
proceeded to tell me that I was using the wrench wrong and tightening it
instead of taking it off. After a couple minutes he walked away and I tried it
the other way again and what do ya know? Sister Weeks in a skirt and using the
wrench the right way got it off. :)
YAY! I will try really hard to not be prideful. :)
There is a lady named Mary that we have been teaching. She
was taught by sisters in the past, but took a little break. She is amazing. She
is one of the most Christlike people ever! She does so much to try to help
other people and she knows that what she is getting at her church right now is
not fulfilling her. She said that many
people she knows wear a brand of Christianity and do not truly try to be Christians. Her husband said, “You
can go [to the LDS Church], but I won't be going with you.” He
isn't against her doing it, he just won't come. But she came to
church today and she even commented in Relief Society!
Angela is a recent convert in the ward and we are teaching
her son Guillermo and his father Guillermo (but mostly he is being taught by
the Spanish Elders, but I have learned a lot of new Spanish words
recently being around him. :) YAY!) [This family is] amazing! The miracles that
have been taking place in their lives in the past few weeks blows me away. It
shows me how much God loves all of his children and if He wants something to
happen, He doesn't waste anytime for it. I love having a front row seat in the
miracle theater, the best one of all. :)
