Sorry if I scared you with that subject line, but I thought it would be the perfect introduction to what my week was like. Sister Hills and I recorded a couple of the big stories from this week so we will send those to you. So it may be better for you to listen to those before you read this email...
So this week was like any other week, but then we were
heading to District Meeting on Tuesday and we were slowing to a stop at a
red light. I was driving and Sister Hills turned to look at me and all
of a sudden a car slammed into us... TWICE they did! They were going
about 35 to 40 miles/hr so it was a super big crash. They air bags
deployed and there car was in a lot worse condition, but both our cars
are totalled. Luckily the APs were behind us and helped us out. They
took us back to the office where we got another car ( a red Suburu
Legacy 2013 ) and they gave us a blessing of comfort and healing. After
that, "Missionary Medical" required us to go to the ER. I am getting an
Xray today and I will let you know how that goes. But all should be
well.
Did you hear the unbelievable Sacrament Meeting story
we sent you? Pretty crazy! huh? It was terryifying for me, I prayed
and prayed when they were giving Brother Nelson CPR. I just put my head
down and prayed with all my heart for comfort and peace to that family.
That was the first time I have witnessed someone's last words and
someone dying.
I am glad you enjoyed the story about Anne and Emmett
from last week! We went to read to Anne this week. She went into her
room to change her clothes and she forgot what she was doing and fell
asleep. Emmett thought it would be better for us to leave the book there
for her to read on her own. So sadly I am not sure if we will see them
again soon.
We spent Wednesday morning making Egg Salad Sandwiches
and we spent the rest of the day smelling like eggs. We made about 3000
all together for the homeless. We made them at a methodist church but it
was for all faiths to come together with one purpose in mind. It was
great to meet people and to talk. Everyone was so nice! We will be doing
this every month we are here.
I had an interview with President Riggs on Friday. He
talked to both Sister Hills and I am about being BOLD and to not give up
on people so easily. He said that people we come in contact with will
either "accept" or "reject" the message and unless they do one or the
other we can't give up. We have been talking to everyone and we now have
3 return appointments from being BOLD! It is very exciting, but we
still have lots more work to do!
President also told me that I will be staying in
Rolling Valley next transfer and will be TRAINING! Which is very scary
but also very exciting at the same time! Luckily I still have a few more
weeks to prepare for that point.
I love you all and I hope that you have a great week! I look forward to skyping with you on Sunday!!!
Love,
Sister Lindmeir
