8.3.15
Hey!
Hope y'all are doing well! I had a wonderful week, crazy but
great! It was more the end of the week that was crazy. One of our crazy
experiences we had on Friday, we(me and one of my Sister training leaders, we
were on exchanges that day) were driving home from Pembroke, from a zone
meeting and we were about a mile out of the city and the girl sitting in the
back of the car yells, "It's a baby Bear," the other 3 missionaries
in the car, including me thought she was talking about a statue and as I
continued driving I looked in the rearview mirror and there was a real baby
bear, upside down in the air and it had been hit by the car right behind us,
along with the baby bear in the air was a large part of a car as well. The
sister who saw the bear first said that it was running towards our car. It was
the craziest thing, I am really glad the Lord was watching over us that day
because it really was a close call.
Later that day we had some wonderful lessons and the spirit
was really strong. We went to one more lesson that night and in the middle of
the lesson our phone was going crazy with calls. And it was one of my family
members and when we got home later that night we called our mission president
and got very special permission from our
mission president for me and my companion to go to lunch with Donna and her
family and Sam and his family the next day. So Saturday we helped a family move
in, went to lunch with the family for an hour, exchanged back and then went and
moved another family. It was the craziest exchange I had ever been apart of.
But nonetheless it was a great experience!
Yesterday after we had church we went to see this guy who
said we could come back and he was home so we told him we would be back soon.
We got a hold of some members to come to the lesson with us and it was a great
lesson. Toward the end of the lesson I asked him how he could come to know what
we had thought him was true. He said that he already knew it was true. He said
that he had a friend when he was younger that talked to him about the book of
mormon and that at this time in his life he had been trying to quit smoking. It
was really cool to see how the Lord really had prepared him for the message of
the restoration!
Hope you all are doing well and spreading the gospel too:) Have
a great week, hope to hear from y'all soon!
Love Sister Mauck
