Cleaning up after Hurricane Irma with Sarasota ward
Found this little guy while cleaning up
The unwelcome visitor from the hurricane
I can't believe General Conference is this weekend!! It's
crazy! This
week was another long week. We figured since we had finished
most of
the Hurricane clean up in our areas that now would be a time
to go
proselyte. Well thirty minutes before preparation day ended
we noticed
an odd bug on the wall. We looked closer and it was a bed
bug!!! So we
were cleaning all our clothes and the apartment and we were
sent to an
apartment up in Bradenton. We went back after it had been
cleaned but
they were still there. So we had the apartment cleaned a
second time.
Crazy! We should be good now but because of all the cleaning
and the
possibility of carrying them on our clothes we weren't able
to really
go out until the end of the week. I've had to use a lot of
personal
funds. Can you please check my account and see how things
are looking?
It's been crazy with the Hurricane and now bed bugs. Trying
to be as
minimal as possible but it's been hard. If you can make sure
there's
enough money on my card still that would be awesome. Thank
you!!
There were some crazy miracles when we finally were able to
go out!!
One man we knocked on his door and he let us right in. He
invited us
back for ribs this week and he is interested in learning
more. He's a
minister so he's very knowledgeable with the Bible. We also
met a
family, the teenage daughter told us how her uncle is
actually a
member. The spirit was very strong as we testified how the
gospel
blesses our families. It seems everyone is much more
prepared and I'm
sure it's a result of the Hurricane humbling people. What a
miracle!
Well I'm so grateful that this week should be back to the
normal
schedule. We are excited for miracles to come especially
with
Conference coming. It will be great! I hope you have a great
week! I
also hope you are able to find peace from the words of our
latter day
prophets. Love you!!
