Summer To Winter Real Quick

Well everyone the rain is back here in Oregon! By the way people were acting around here like we were in 3 year drought. But literally like on Wednesday we were in short sleeve shirts and it was 90° and then we wake up Thursday morning and almost turn into an Eskimo! Just glad I'm not on a bike this time of year. It's cold, rainy, colder and more rain haha. But it's a cool change of pace. 

 

This week good ole Elder Chapman spoke in church, he had everyone in that building wanting more and it always gives us a good excuse to invite people to church. Like hey he's speaking you better come listen! But something pretty cool happened this Sunday and the story is still going as we speak. 

 

So basically we got a call late Sunday night from a lady named Sara, she was saying she was homeless and didn't have any food. So we were like uhhh well we can meet and talk about Jesus haha. So we planned on meeting at the library at 11 am the next morning. So we go and nobody is there. So we call her and she says my truck broke down and I can't make it. So we are like ok this is a scam haha but she said you can come and meet me at my trailer. So we were like ok sure. And she was parked in the middle of forest it’s called (Mclver park) and after driving for like 30 min in the pouring rain and in middle of the boon docks we find her trailer. We find her! She is super nice, she had a husband and 2 young boys. And they didn't have any food at all. But they did have hamburger helper but no meat so they were using rice. Mmm hamburger helper with rice (it did not look good) (but I'm pretty sure that's what (Elder Chamberlain and Elder Hoyt are eating in Africa) So we got in contact with the elder quorum and bishop and this morning we went with Brother Lee he is in the Elders quorum presidency, we took them a bunch of food. And last night they said they were looking for a church to join and said they would come to church on Sunday! Idk we will see where it goes. But it's cool to be able to help people even if they don't accept the gospel, Jesus Christ himself took the form of a servant. And he has commanded us to not turn away the poor and the needy. So I'm very grateful to be able to help. 

 

But anyway the gospel is all true, I'm grateful I have the opportunity to share.
