Crazy crazy life...


.. But than i always just come to the conclusion that everything we do and
everything that happens here is just all normal.. It wouldnt be in normal
life, but here, yes.. Very normal..
Top Weird thing count down:
6. Getting asked if i am a Russian Gypsy by a Romanian Gypsy because of my
beautiful clothes that i could burn at this point..
5. Getting stuck in Seriate (very sketchy city...) late at night because
the busses just dont happen to come that often and the tram stops after 9..
winners
4. The word of this week is awkward.. just awkward..
3. Our golden simp goes a little crazy this past Sunday...We have a lesson
with her last night and it felt like going on a first date where you dont
know whats going to happen... First date with a Nigerian Woman..
2. We are at the train station when this woman lays in the middle of the
tracks when the train is coming and than just gets up and walks towards
us.. My comp and i ask her how shes doing and she says 'just fine.
Thanks'.... 5 minutes later, the police have her face down on the ground.
1. and my favorite experience would have to the drive home from Bishops
house this past Sunday... which is in tim buck two in the mountains nowhere
and takes forever to get home.. Picture a tiny Italian car and inside
driving is Bishops son. Passanger seat is our simp from Nigeria.
Back seat which is super small has this cute old Brazilian woman, me in the
middle, and Sorella Carter on the other side of me. Mikhail is just trying
to get this packed full clown car of woman down the mountain side, Rita
starts beat boxing to who knows what, cute little Brazilian member is just
talking in circles about nonsense, im sitting there laughing, and Sorella
Carter is just smashed in the corner. We turned heads as we drove by...
maybe all of these are just things you had to be there for, but it has made
for an entertaining time. Work has been slow.. We are teaching a lot of
lessons on the tram and busses, but noone really has real interest to learn
more... Its been a little more difficult... but we will conquer the
unthinkable...hopefully. We have 2 baptisms that are coming up at the end
of this month, so hopefully all goes as planned. I love seeing the little
answers to my prayers that Heavenly Father sends... because He will never
not answer. I had the realization at the beginning of this week. And when i
realized that i started to see the answers that He has sent and that He
does send every day. It is crazy that we can literally communicate with the
creator of all. It blows my mind a little bit. I continue to ask what we
need to do.. where we need to go and who we need to talk to. I feel bad a
lot because of the fact that He has to deal with me as His instrument, and
than i have to remember that He does not sit there with judgy eyes looking
over his glasses at us, but rather He looks with love and reassurance...
and that in and of itself explains who He is. Have a great week!
Love Sorella Woods
