Hey Everyone! I'm sorry I'm late writign and I'm especially
sorry mom that I worried you this past week. Sister Gonzales was sick with a
thrpat infection and I spent Sunday night and monday morning throwing up, but
we have recovered!
Unfortunately, however, on Thursday a huge dog tried to kill
me as we were racing ot an appointment and although I did not get bitten nor
did I fall off my bike, I managed to hurt several of the muscles in my back in
the process of trying to get bitten. After several days of beign stubborn, we
finaly went ot get my back checked out and I am on my second to last day of
taking some solid meds.I promise I feel signifigantly better and am obeying
doctors orders and not doign anythign too dumb. Hermana Gonzales and I decided
that Satan really wanted to try to mess up our week.
The reason I tell you all this is becasue this past week, we
actually saw a lot of miracles althoguh we couldn't work too well for part of
the week. We were riding our bikes and literally right before the dog
attacked me somebody yelled "hey! We have the same backpack!" I
looked back and there was a young man who we had just passes who indeed had the
same backpack as I do and so I yelled back somthign silly about ebign backpack
twins and as we were stopping to contact him the dog happened and after
escaping, we looked back and he had dissapeared and I wzas really sd, becasue I
had a very strogn imression to contact him. The next day, as we were riding
around in the same area (and becasue I was tryign to tough it out a bit with
ibuprofen we hadn't gone to the doctor and I wsn't on more or less house
arrest) the Lord answered our prayers and we saw my backpack twin again! We
contacted him and he tod us that he wasn't the type of person to yell things at
people in the streets but something told him he should do it and that he was
looking to brign his life back into hermony with God and was looking for the
true church, I never thought I would find an investidagor because we have the
sme backpack and I am so grateful that God answers our prayers and put us in
his path and then put him in our path so that we can help him return to live in
God's presence again. Miracles hahaha!
Saturday, as I was chilling in bed with an ice pack on my
back, we got a call from our district leader that went somethign like this.
"Hey you have to go to Hermosillo." "What, why?" "I
already have the cambios" "wait, seriously?" "yes"
"and I'm gettign transferred to Hermosillo?" "No."
"then why am I goign to Hermosillo!" "CONGRATULATIONS!"
"what?" "you're training." "WHAT?!?"
So, in short, I got to ride a bus for 7 hours with a screwed
up back to Hermosillo, sit through all the meetings and capacitaciones, and
then ride back 7 hours to Huatabampo, but I'M TRAINING. Whaaaaaaat. My new
companion's name is Hermana Salas. She's from Coasta Rica. She likes to cook
which is good because I don't and she's awesome! I'm sendign you all a picture.
I am really excited to have this opportunity to learn from her and to grow to
be a bettre missionary, more like the Lord wants me to be.
Also, so that I don't worry mom again, my back is doign just
fine. I'm on orders to rest tomorrow and then I'm back to working and my back
feels better. Don't worry, the Lord and my companions have been taking very
good care of me.
I love you all!!
Con mi amor eterno,
Hermana Rawlings
