OI OI OI FAM!!!
This week was a little bit crazy.
Sister Ferril (one of the sisters I live with) gained two huge blood blisters
on the soles of her feet a couple weeks ago and couldn't walk--well she
could, only she walked like a penguin lol--so she talked to president, and he
said to just take it easy and keep rubbing a certain cream on them, so she
did.One week passed by and nada. Her blood blisters didn't get any better.
Not even a tiny bit smaller. So we told her to send a picture to Sister
Broadbent last Monday and she did. The next day, she was off to the hospital
to see what they could do. So for the rest of the day, Sister De Lima and I
worked right alongside of Sister Lucena. We didn't think Sister Ferril would
be too long so we gave her one of the sets of keys and waited for her to
return. Only she didn't. The next morning we got a phone call that she had a
mini surgery and they completely removed the blisters and all. Right down to
the muscle. So until she recovered, she would be staying with the senior
missionary couple. Well then it was time to get down to business. We had two
huge areas which were now combined into one and only about 8 hours to visit
everyone we needed to in both areas. Things got a little complicated at times
but we worked it all out in the end and were able to do what we needed. This
lasted for about a week because Sister Ferril was not about to sit around
doing nothing all day her last two weeks of her mission. So she asked
Presidente and he let her come back this week to say her goodbyes and take it
slow but still work. She still walks really slowly but no more like a
penguin! Now we are back to normal. 2 sets of sisters. 2 areas. But it was
really awesome to be in a trio for a week. I had always wanted to and this
week, I got a taste!
Besides that craziness, Sister De
Lima and I met Cleidilene. She is an older woman who had the missionaries
over one or two times before I got here in Santo André. She really liked
having them over and said she feels something diferente when we're there. So
last week we set it all up to visit her this past Sunday. Yesterday we did
and man is she awesome! She is really trying to find the right church and has
been praying também to find out how she can receive the Holy Ghost. We were
in the right place at the right time guys. We started to talk to her about
Christ's baptism and how afterwards we receive the Holy Ghost. She was over
joyed and got goosebumps as we were talking to her. She knew that what we
were saying was true and is super excited to pay a visit at church next Sunday
and learn more about the gospel! We are too! We are super duper excited to
teach her and help her find answers to her questions. Guys, I love missionary
work! It's the best!!!
I love you all and am so grateful
for all your support! Have a week that is out of this world!
Love, Sister Hilchie :)
