So some snow happened this week. Probably with the worst
timing it could have, but it was fun to drive in. The cars were
grounded, but then President James decided that there was nothing,
NOTHING going to stop him from doing interviews that day. So we got to
drive around in the snow for about two hours that day, and still had
district meeting because we were all there anyways. At the time, I was
on exchanges in Pittsboro, which as far as we could tell, was one of the
worst hit places in our mission. We know at least that it was the worst
in the district. We were out the previous night and it had just started
to snow when we got a call from our district leader that they were
probably going to ground the cars soon and so we need to head back to
the apartment right away. Well, turns out that yes, the cars did get
grounded after we got back and so we were on foot for the rest of the
night. We found about the only cool thing in Pittsboro, a 9/11 memorial.
(It's even smaller and more spread out than Siler City.) But then the
next morning, we got a call from President James that we were still
going to have interviews and that the cars were mobile again for that.
By this time, we had walked about a mile and a half to get to somewhere
to knock doors and had to turn back again to make it to
interviews/District Meeting in time. So that was fun.
Yesterday
we had a cool experience with an investigator. His wife is a recent
convert, and he has been investigating for a while(ish) but hasn't ever
really felt the desire to do things like go to church, read the
scriptures and pray. However, we found out that it was him who pushed
his wife to go that morning, and that he had been reading the
scriptures, had some questions about it, and that he had talked to the
stake president while he was there and had a really cool moment where he
felt that God had answered some of his questions! It was really
awesome. We're hoping that he'll continue to have these sorts of
experiences, and that he can quit smoking.
