Hellooooo everyone!! This week has been pretty crazy so let's get into it!
On Monday after I got off the phone with my family, my voice was not doing so hot. I thought I was done being sick but I guess my body thought otherwise. I woke up Tuesday and my voice was GONE! That doesn't happen very often to me so the fact it did was kind of weird. The first half of the week was pretty normal.
We did a lot of service at comission on aging and we met this 13 year old boy named Gavin. He wasn't talking for a while and then he started telling us about how much he hates Ohio and society and everyone is evil. He then told us randomly that the only reason he was doing service is because he is a felon. Definietly an interesting interaction. We went back the next day for more service and we filled bags with powdered milk. Also very interesting.
Friday was zone conference. I LOVE zone conference!! It's always good to get a change of scenery. While we were there we did a "mindless activity" to kind of keep us awake and that included hitting a beach ball around counting to see how long we could keep it up. One of the elders thought he was a volleyball star or something because he tried hitting it and it came sailing right to my face. It was lowkey embarassing but it didn't hurt luckily. and good news, i kept it up and we had the highest score out of the whole mission because of that save lolol.
A miracle from the week is we were driving home from zone conference and we decided to take the way through Toledo. We were going over the Toledo bridge and I've driven over that thing a lot so I know the way pretty well. I had the directions up on my phone just in case and it told me to just go straight (which I normally do). Then all of the sudden, my phone said rerouting as if I had taken a wrong turn. I was so confused but just kept following the directions which led us along all of these back roads we had never been on before. About 20 minutes from Tiffin, the Baldwins called us and asked if we were ok because apparently there was a huge car accident on the road that we would've been on if the directions hadn't have rerouted. Right after we got off of the phone with them, we all knew that that was a miracle because that could've been us. I know some people might say that it was a coincedance but God was definitley watching over us.
Another small miracle is on Thursday we were on our way to service and we stopped to check our mail. I wasn't expecting anything but sister Hamblin pulled out a package with my name on it from my brother and sister in law. I was really confused and I opened it and the instant I smelled it I knew it was the jerky my grandpa Rich used to make. I was not expecting the emotion but it literally made me cry. I was just so grateful for that. It helped me remember how much my family loves me and how much my Heavenly Father is aware of me. I didn't know I needed that but He sure did.
Anyway, I know last week we said we were going to have Wayne's baptism on Saturday but sadly we had to cancel it because he had to go in for surgery to get 4 rings put into his throat. So as of right now, the baptism is postponed until further notice. Keep Wayne in your prayers though!
On Sunday the Haga's fed us and after dinner they brought over this box called universal yums. They get this box once a month with snacks from a certain country. This month was Italy so we got to try sooo many snacks from Italy and they were all sooo good (for the most part).
We've been reading the Book of Mormon with our friend Michaela pretty much every night. It had been so cool to see her change just by reading the Book of Mormon. She told us since she started reading it, she feels happier and more at peace. She also told us she HATES reading but this is the first book she's actually interested in. I love watching her find joy through the Book of Mormon!! I have only ever seen the change in my own life so to watch in someone else's has been incredible! You all should read it and if you are struggling with your faith in any aspect, read the Book of Mormon and sincerely pray about it! I promise it'll help. I love you all soooo much and hope you all are well!!
Trust in the Lord
Love,
Sister Welch
