We painted a house for part of a service project this week.

Ha to be honest, if you may not have already noticed... I don't really feel like emailing as much as I used to :P ha mostly just because I can't even remember what happened the week before! It's just so busy and crazy, there's no way I could do my week justice in an email. Luckily I keep a pretty decent journal, so I can tell other stories and experiences later :) 

But this week, we went to find a Mormon.org referral. The address didn't exist. So we figured we'd find someone else to talk to! We saw a lady halfway down the block and started walking towards her to contact her. Then she went into an apartment building. Dang, we lost her! We stood on the sidewalk for a second trying to figure out if we needed to contact someone on the now-empty street, or go back to the car and head to our next destination. 
Sister hone was like, hey we should go to that apartment still! So we did, and the door was open. We went inside, and there were six doors. We looked blankly at each other wondering which door. I said, "well, let's see what's behind door number one!". We knocked and another lady answered. We said we were representatives of Jesus Christ there to share a message with her. She let us in and told us how she had been trying to figure out how to get closer to Christ because she needed him now more than ever. She was so grateful. It was awesome!

We went to the hospital again to sing to a couple from the Valpo ward while the husband was going through chemo treatments for throat cancer. It was his last round! It was so awesome and spirit-filled to be there. We had 13 missionaries there, and it was so fun. Brother tucker even had us follow him around so we could sing with him to other patients that were friends of his in the hospital. It was awesome.

Painting as service...


The cool thing about running two areas is that it is so much easier to see The Lord picking up where you lack. We do as much as we can to visit everyone we possibly can, but we are still always falling so short. But we still see incredible miracles, and we know that The Lord is helping and supporting us in this work even though we can't do everything we need to or would like to.

Well that's it for me! It's been a great week, and is looking forward to another one :) 


Love you all!!
