This week nothing special happened really, but I just have felt the love
and support of the ward, investigators, ya'll back at home, and
especially my Father in Heaven! (even when some guy at the bus station
told me I wasnt very pretty hahah that hurt a bit...definitely didnt
feel the love and support from that guy!) I am so grateful to be a
missionary and it is just so wonderful being out here!
Now that I have
convinced you all that I am bi-polar....
I met so many fun people this week!
First is David...I
love David so much I don't even know how to describe it...craziness! We
were waiting for our bus at the station and this blind man walks in and
is trying to find the bathroom using his stick and carrying a HUGE bag. Lets just say it was not working out and instantly I LOVED him! I jumped
up and slipped my arm in his and we went to find the bathroom! Everyone
was watching as we walked to the bathroom (David has a really loud
voice so we were the center of attention in the middle of the bus
station) and he kept trying to turn and then I would say no just keep
straight and then he would say oh...okay. Then he would try and turn
again and I would say again, nope still straight and he would say
oh...okay! It just went again and again until finally we were there. Then when he came back we sat and talked for ever! He used to be a
painter. He would paint sceneries! But then he got quiet and said, "but I
guess I cant do that anymore." :( Good thing he couldn't see me crying. Then he went through all of his tapes he had in his bag trying to find
his favorite one to give to me.:) But he would pick one up and feel it
and then ask me what is this one...then he would put it down and pick up
the same one and say what is this one....we did that for a while! :) oh
man I could go on for hours about David....I LOVE HIM.
Then we were door knocking and it was SO COLD and we were ready to
go back and Sis. Nuttall and I looked at each other and said ONE MORE
DOOR! haha So we did and we found James....I LOVE JAMES! He went to
Afghanistan and did not see very good things and has a very sad sad
countenance....we were trying to help him realize that God does love him and
really is there but somehow I don't blame him for being hardened by the
things he saw. Even just the bit he told me I didnt want to hear
anymore... :( We promised him that if he asked that night he would get
his answer! :) TBA!!!
Welp, those are my two best stories for this week! Also, we went to
the church of Israel of God...we were the only white ones...haha. But
they had the greatest choir in the world! Totally rockin'! The
preacher came and sat us down and talked to us. He was really nice! I
really liked him! We are going to have a study with him sometime! We
switched phone numbers! The Israel of God Church goes STRAIGHT from the
bible...meaning they live pretty much the law of Moses except for the
sacrificing and other things....but it was fun and WAY different....we
had to wear these frilly white things on our heads....but yeah....fun
stuff!
So many little things happened this week and I just loved every
second of everything! I am learning to love my trials! I really just
love this area so much and I am going to be so heartbroken if I leave
next transfer :( Anyways,v I love you all so much and I am so grateful for
all your love and support back home! This church is so wonderful and so
true there is no denying it! Gah...I love everything....GOD BLESS!
Love, Sister Oswald
