Eric: What is the funniest thing that has happened this week?
This happened last week, but I forgot
to tell everybody. Sister Bowles and I were driving in the car on
our way out for the day. We had just gotten outside of our apartment
complex when we saw an old man walking on the side of the road. We
had a feeling he was lost. So we pulled over to ask him if he was
okay. As soon as he started talking i knew he was lost. We pulled
over and he just got right into our car. He thought we were going to
give him a ride. Sister Bowles and I got out of the car and went to
help him. This guy had somehow gotten out of the Alzheimer's and
dementia unit that is right next to our apartment. :) It was so
funny!!! The Elders just happened to be riding their bike past us
and ran over to help us. They took our car and parked it somewhere
safe since it was just sitting in the middle of the road.
Dad: When do you think we can get an
audio update? We would sure love one. As far as I know, I have sent
all SD cards. I sent both the SD and microSD card together.
Like I said, I promise to give you one
by next Monday. :) You still have one of my SD cards. I sent
pictures to you on it. You have sent me back one SD card and my
microSD card for the audio recorder. I have one more card that goes
to my camera. It is black.
Dad: What is the most unusual thing
you have eaten so far?
On Saturday I had bratwurst, fried
cabbage and German potato salad. I also had fried okra the other day.
They weren't strange, just things I'd never tried before. I loved
both of them though. :)
Dad: "By small and simple
things, are great things brought to pass." How have you
witnessed the hand of the Lord through small or great means this
week?
That is a really great question! We met
a lady from Germany on Saturday who
claims to be atheist. She said she use to be Christian but doesn't
understand why God would let bad things happened to innocent people.
It was an interesting conversation. Sister Bowles asked her if she
was happier when she believed in God or now. She said she was happier
when she believed in God. We asked her some other questions on her
belief in God. We invited her to come to church with us on Sunday.
She said she would, but only because she liked us and thought we were
interesting. haha! (she didn't end up coming to church. just for
the record.) As we were leaving we gave her a hug because that's
just what we do. We hug people A LOT. She walked up to her porch, we
walked to our car. Next thing I know she turns around, runs down the
stairs and to our car to tell us thanks for the hugs because she
really needed them that day. :D It was such a sweet moment. It was
great to know the Lord showed Ute His love for her through us. I
told Sister Bowles that if that is all that results from that visit,
it is totally worth it. There are so many other "Small and
Simple Things" that happen all the time. I am going to start
paying even more attention to those things. :) Thanks for the idea
dad.
Dad: What did Easter mean to you
this year?
Great question as well. I hadn't really
thought of that. In Sunday school Sister Bowles and I taught the
lesson and read the Easter story from the New Testament with the
class. We talked a lot about Christ's atonement. Easter to me is a
reminder that I would not be able to make it back to Heavenly Father
with our Christ. It wouldn't matter what efforts I put forth, I
can't make it back without Christ's grace and mercy
I love you all! Have a great week!
Love, Sister Record
