Dear
Friends and Family,
First
of all, thank you for the birthday wishes. I can't believe I am now 20 years
old! What the heck—I am so old... Just kidding.
Thank you mom for your amazing box of all the good stuff
(especially the TACO BELL GIFT CARD yumyumyummy)
I
will start out with the craziest story of the week... you ready... ONCE UPON A
TIME there were two Sisters who couldn’t for the life of them find someone to
go on a team up with them on this hot, muggy, sticky, slimy, humid day. So they got a ride down to the lovely Ghetto
of Wichita, where all the wonderful investigators are. The Sisters then spent
time with their favorite recent converts and their cute little kittens and then
had to speedily get to an appointment.
As they walked outside, they soon
discovered that it had started to sprinkle...
Thinking
nothing of it they said their goodbyes and proceeded to head out to their
appointment which was two miles away. When they were halfway there they saw
flashes of lightning and heard big booming sounds and looked ahead and saw a
wall of rain coming towards them. Not
knowing what to do, they proceeded into the wall of rain. Puddles and puddles
of water they had to dodge but it was too late to save their feet. The one Sister (me) had holes in the bottom of
her shoes so it was pointless and she proceeded to walk through the puddles.
Soon
the roads started to flood and cars started to go slower so as not to spray
walls of water up into the air. They lightly
and carefully proceeded through the flooded roads. That is all except for a monstrous white
truck with large wheels. He decided to speed through the lake of a road and
send a tsunami like wave over the Sister that happened to be closest to the
road (me) and completely soak her to the bone with water... the bedraggled
Sisters only yelled lovely things to the truck... sort of...
Upon
reaching their appointment they finally got a break from the weather and hoped
it would pass when they got out... that hope was shattered when they left and
saw that it had gotten worse and their dinner appointment was another two and
half miles away.
There was lightning
striking the ground and lakes instead of roads. But they said a little prayer
and then continued to walk. The sidewalks had water to their thighs and the
rain was pushing them sideways and after a mile they surely thought that the worst
that could happen would be that they were going to be late to dinner. The Lord heard their cries and a gift from
heaven was presented to them in the form of a Spanish couple they had never
met. These angels in human form stopped and asked if they needed a ride. The Sisters
expressed their gratitude to God for this wonderful Spanish couple who could
barely speak English and happily hopped in and was taken to the member’s home.
As
these Sisters approached the door and the member opened it she saw the extent
of their toils and travails and expressed her sorrow that they didn't call and
ask for a ride—for she surly would have come and picked them up. Feeling dumb
and a bit cold, they said, “sorry,” and the member went and brought out fresh pajamas
and took their wet clothes to put them in a warm dryer. She ordered pizza and
they ate pizza in Pj's on the couch as the rain came down harder and harder.
The
sisters were happy because they were warm and dry and their bellies were full of
lovely Pizza Hut pizza and root beer. It was a Happily Ever After.
That
was my week! It was great hahaha ! I love everyone so much and hope your week is
a great one !!
Love,
Sister
Magda
