Helllooo everyone!! This week has definitely been a hard one so let's get into it.
Monday: On p day we had more than enough miles so we ended up driving to Toledo to go to the zoo. While we were driving there, it was a straight-up monsoon. The rain was so bad we couldn't even see. When we got to the zoo it had stopped raining and was 91 degrees. It was by far the hottest most humid day ever. We were miserable. While we were at the zoo, we got to feed giraffes. I was in heaven!! The giraffe I fed was named Charlotte and her tongue hung like a foot out of her mouth. It was crazy.
Tuesday: It was a Fostoria day so we went to Clouse's and helped them paint their house. It was a fun time.
Wednesday: We got to go to Perrysburg for District Council. When we got to District Council, President and Sister Johnson were there and they were taking us by companionships to do interviews. It was good to talk to them and tell them everything that was going on. After District council, we went to Chick-fil-a and it was the best!! We LOVE Chick-fil-a. That night we met with a lady named Francis that I think I talked about last week and we figured out she has some serious memory loss. She didn't remember us and then in the 30 minutes we were there, she told us the same 3 stories probably 10 times. She is so nice though.
Thursday: We met up with one of our friends named Kade and he is so interested in learning more about the church! He has a lot of questions which is always good. After the lesson, me and sister Nelson did some service. While we were there, sister Nelson accidentally stapled her finger lolol. After service, I got a text that my grandpa John passed away. I had been anticipating that text all week and when it finally came, so did the tears. I got permission to call my family and while we were all crying, we were all so comforted by the knowledge we have of eternal families and where we go after this life. I know my grandpa is in a better place and he's partying it up with his parents and almost all of his siblings. The week leading up to his passing, I had been studying and reading a lot about angels just for fun and I now realize it wasn't for nothing. I know he is watching over me along with my grandpa Rich and that makes me so excited for the miracles I am going to see. That night sister Nelson also burned her palm because she didn't realize the handle of a pot was over a hot burner and she grabbed it. It was a tearful day for both of us needless to say.
Friday: Friday was a pretty normal day. To add to sister nelson's injuries, she was dishing up some really hot rice at lunch and the rice just perfectly flew off the spoon and landed on her wrist. she couldn't really move because she was holding a lot of stuff so she just let her wrist burn. She now has 2 little red dots from the rice on her wrist. Poor girl. We went out to dinner with our friend Amy and her friend Rosanne to a place called Big Boy. It wasn't bad. After dinner, we went and knocked on a lot of doors, and then we had our STL call-ins. I made everyone cry on the call so that was fun. It was a pretty solid day.
Saturday: Saturday was another Fostoria day. We went to the Clouse's and they fed us some really good meatballs for lunch. I didn't think I was going to like them that much because they were sweet but they were so good!! That night we knocked on even more doors and we called it a night.
Sunday: Today was fast and testimony meeting and there was definitely a theme which was anxiety and eternal families. It was pretty fitting with the week I had ahaha. We had dinner with the Haga's from the branch and I love them!! We had hamburgers and hotdogs and it was so good. I felt bad they were grilling because it was raining really hard. As I'm writing this it's Sunday night and sister Nelson is in the shower. I just heard her scream and call my name. She opened the door and she semi-flooded the bathroom so that's amazing because we don't have a mop lolol.
This week has definitely made me realize that it is in times of trial that we need to trust in the Lord more than ever even when our brain is telling us otherwise. I know all of us have been through times in our life where it just feels like one thing after the other keeps happening. If we stay strong through those times, we will come out even stronger and more humbled than before. Just remember the blessings in your life instead of the negative even though one of those things is easier than the other hehe. I love you all and I hope you have the best week ever and look for the miracles!!
Trust in the Lord
Love,
Sister Welch
