I have the worst of luck with umbrellas. Whether it be wind, rain, children, or brain lapses, I never keep the umbrella for very long. This week alone destroyed at least three, one of which broke three times in three different places. I must be really lucky. :P Anyway, what's the work without a little sacrifice.
But yes, the week was really strange, ranging from extremely hot sunlight to freezing cold rain. However, the people we found this week were probably better than ever. As well, I got my birthday gift a month early! It's amazing how unpredictable the postal service is here. Anyway, I've made a personal promise that I won't open everything until my birthday. The candy, however, has no guarantee to last so long. >:P
But, just to be smarter with my time, I'll talk about the people. This week, we were able to talk to the family of the girl I talked about before, and they are really golden. They are a humble family, but their experiences show just how much they've always trusted in God. Many times, the worst of accidents have happened in the family, even near deaths, but God always placed his hand in their lives and raised these people "from the dead" so to speak. Even when they were sometimes ready to abandon God and all that they believed, the other members of the family returned them to their faith, and miracles happened. I have learned so many things with their experiences that I can't write it all, but one really touched me.
When we had invited the girl that wanted to be baptized to pray, she told us that it had been ages since she spoke with God. She had gotten angry at Him because God had let her nephew get extremely burned when under her care, and it seemed as if He'd do nothing to help. However, when she returned to pray and speak with God, she said He filled her with love, and she was finally content.
Sorry to jump, but the time is up. X( However, thanks for the love and the prayers. I'm praying for all of you.
