Hermana Killian started not feeling well last Monday. She slept for
most of the day. That was just the beginning. I let her take some of
my NyQuil, and since it was mine she didn't want to use the little cup
so she poured the medicine into a cup. She took and and thought that
it wasn't a lot so she took another dose! The next morning she
couldn't get out of bed! We found out later that she took 2 full cup
fulls! That is 4X the amount that she needed to take! My dad is
probably cringing right now! The only people we went to visit that day
was our dinner and Bladimir.
We finally decided it was time to have another lesson with Bladimir.
He hadn't been praying, reading or coming to church. He was really
angry and upset! It felt like there was a big storm cloud in the room.
He felt alone and had no peace whatsoever. We told him the only way to
feel better is if he would pray. We told him he had to pray that
night. We had another lesson with him on Saturday and he had a light
in his eye! He was smiling and so happy! He had prayed! He said a
peace came over him and that he felt happy and peaceful now! I love
seeing that light in his eyes! He is totally ready to do his part!
Yay!
On Thursday I went out with the Samoan sister, Sister Lavata'i because
Hermana Killian was sick. I hadn't been out of the apartment for a few
days. We visited one of my members who gave me a Mexican shirt! We
then went and did a service called Ivy League. We went to dinner with
a member named Maribel. Sister Lavata'i had a meeting to go to and it
was really cool to hear people talk Samoan. I couldn't understand any
of it but it was still cool to hear! Sister Lavata'i was fun to get to
know better!
On Saturday we were finally able to get out of the house and do some
hard work. The only problem was that I locked the keys inside of our
apartment! So we had no car and no way to get back inside! We tried
calling everybody but no one would answer! So we were stuck. We
decided to walk around Redwood City. After walking around for an hour
the Samoan sisters picked us up and took us to EPA. We visited a few
of our members and their members. They dropped us off at our dinner
and the members at we were eating with said that they could get us in!
We didn't know how. They took us back to our apartment and Hermana
Luna jumped the fence to get into our apartment complex! Then Hermano
Luna tried breaking into our apartment with a screwdriver and a credit
card! But since it was locked at the door knob and not the deadbolt he
couldn't do it! He then called a locksmith! We told him no! That we
could sleep with the other sisters, but he wouldn't take no for an
answer. Thankfully the manager finally called us back and let us into
the apartment!
We went to Santa Cruz today! It was a lot of fun because I got to go
places that I have been before. It was fun to see all of the sea
lions. We hung out at the beach and walked the boardwalk!
Today we are also having a "surprise" party for Hna Killian because
she is leaving next week. I say "surprise" because she knows about it.
Some people aren't very good at keeping secrets!
My testimony has grown so much out here! I love the people so much! I
can't wait until someone decides to change their life and be baptized!
It will be an experience I will never forget!
