Side ways rain..

Love them sooo much!
abdu and fahama from Afghanistan


So we just so happened to come home a little early the other night, and
this rain storm just decided to start up...All of a sudden before we know
it, the house is flooding.. i'm thinking what in the heck, we live on the
third floor, until i realize that its raining sideways. So we literally
threw everything, towls, sheets, pillows, against the door that water was
coming through, which just so happens to be in one of the only rooms with
wood floor.. eventually it stopped and 10 towels and 5 sheets later the
water had stopped coming in.. So there is this thing that happens when it
gets humid, bugs start coming, and im not just talking about normal bugs,,,
like bugs that move faster than i have ever seen any bug move, and bigger
than any bug has the right to be.. So i was heading to the bathroom to get
ready for bed, and this giant black thing darts past my feet. I jump onto
the washer, and for two seconds, i think its a mouse.. Then i realize,
nope, its a different creature.. I yell for Destribois and she comes in
with a shoe. We soon find out that this is her biggest phobia, and i sure
as heck wasnt going to kill it, so we started to pray, AND SHE KILLED IT.
Praise the good Lord.. So this thing has like 500 plus legs, and if it gets
on you, it basically poisons your skin or so Destribois says.. Most
disgusting thing of my life, and i will take spiders any day and that is
saying something.. Spiders dont come out of my drains when it rains.. So
more important news, Stella finally came to church!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and
shes listening to the BOM every night! I found her two companions ago, and
her bap date is for the 6th of Settembre.. Moms birthday, so it ought to be
a good day.. The day of life for my mom, and the day of new life for her!!
Vediamo, ma non posso spiegare.. SO STOKED. I havent had a really
progressing investigator since i came her, and finally i see that light,
and Heavenly Father is like, yes Sorella Woods.. You are my called servant
and can help people to baptism. Well thank you Heavenly Father. It brings
so much joy to me! I love these people more and more every day. We have
another woman that we found over a month ago and she finally is meeting
with us for reals after us praying with her at least once a week. She wants
to be baptized but has a problem smoking, and thats why she couldnt get
bapitzed when she first took the lessons. She is so prepared, and she is
another testimony that we are in the right place at the right time. We
cannot give up on these people.. We try try and try again, because one day
they will accept and know that this is the gospel of Jesus Christ on the
earth today. I am so lucky to be here doing this work.
Have a great week!
Love Sorella Woods
