I got hit by a car
first things first i am alive and well but an angry man nicked me with his car :(
miracle uno: okay you are about to hear about the most humbling moment of my entire 20 years my lovely friends. the other night hermana kartchner and i are out wandering about (yay love tracting) looking for people to teach, and we run into this dad and his two daughters from iraq. who, after a few moments, finally invites us into his home right that very moment. so we walk with them to their complex, and then he leads us into this smoky corridor and there are just all kinds of humans hollering things to me in arabic and such and then all of a sudden i'm in his living room, with this darling family all on their edge of their seats as i teach them about God, about Christ, about why we're here. and there's an iraqi newscast going in the background and it smells like cigarettes and all kinds of things and we barely understand each other but the sweet spirit was just teaching them through me and then we're out running in the rain again and i'm standing on this street corner in the middle of surrey, and then i realize that Heavenly Father literally pulled this family all the way from iraq, where the rest of their family members were actually killed by ISIS, for those 20 minutes with me on their couch. in canada. teaching them about the restoration of the church of Jesus Christ. and i felt so small, but so very honored to be a piece of that.
ah, I am so grateful for my mission.
other highlights include sister riley seiter and i out on splits cause we're ROOMIES for the second time in our lives (this world is tiny) and the best moment was us looking at each other and saying "hey remember when we went on splits with the missionaries in belize and now we ARE the missionaries on splits except in canada?"
that's all.
hahaha i love her and i love canada and i love spanish and it's canadian thanksgiving!!! and i am so afraid cause i have to go eat with like all of central america tonight and i am going to be in such a food coma after!! and then ahve to go walk the streets of surrey!! okay i love you people! bye!
