This week had a lot of ups, and a lot of downs. You know that point in life, when bad things just keep happening to you, and you just laugh because things keep happening?? Well that was us this week. Tuesday night I was cleaning the dishes, and our of no where, the whole faucet just falls off of the wall and water sprays everywhere! I put my hand infront of the spraying water, and yell for Elder Malala! He came running in and got under the sink to shut off the water. But by the time, we were both soaked, and our kitchen was flooded.. So we just sat in the water and laughed for 5 minutes or so! After that we mopped up, and cleaned everything off. The worst part about this, is we had no sink this week. And that means no clean dishes, and that means no filtered water! So we drank from sinks for the most part.. We just asked Heavenly Father that we wouldn't get sick because of drinking that water! On Saturday we finally someone to come and fix it for us. I've never been so grateful for a sink!
Also this week, I got my first terrible haircut of the mission!! My companion said "I promise I'm good at cutting hair" so I let him.. 10 minutes later, I look like I'm in the Army.. It's so short!!
Everything is good here! Me and my companion usually get along pretty well. We work really hard in our area, and we have fun! Every companionship has problems, but I still love him! French is difficult, but it's actually coming along! I still make lots of mistakes, and have lots of words to learn. But I can understand most things, and I usually respond to them!
Crazy story for the week:
So Thursday night, my companion and I were walking along the road. And we were walking past this man who was fixing a car tire. He somehow had got the car jacked up, and he put all of the weight on just 2 bricks.. (isn't that just asking for trouble?) he was sitting up right, with his legs under the car, and he was working on the car where the tire would be. Well, sure enough right as we walk by, one of the bricks broke. Which made the other one break, which made the whole car fall on this man's legs! He starts yelling for help, and so we run to help! Well, us, and about 5 other people lifted this car up, and the man got out! He had very minor injuries. Just some bruises, and some sore legs! We tried talking to him, but he seemed pretty distraught, so we let him be.
I love that this experience happened for a few reasons. I believe that the natural man is very very nice. As soon as this man started yelling, lots of people came to help! It just makes me love everyone here so much more, because I know that if I were ever in need of help that they would come running to help me.
Heavenly Father is there same way with his children. Whenever you need help, just yell for help! All we have to do is ask, and have faith that he will help. I love Alma chapter 32! If you have the time, please please read it! It talks about faith a lot, and I love the way that he words that chapter.
i love this gospel, and i cant wait to see what the next 22 months brings! Thank you all so much for the prayers and support!
