Hellooooo everyone! I hope your past week has been good. :)
Last week was kind of insane for us over here in Lake Sawyer, but that's okay. Sister Goble and I say it's because Satan is mad that Pat was baptized. Haha.
Monday began with our car dying. We had to get our battery jumped. Then at like
10:00 PM our toilet exploded (it was clean water I might add) for no reason and flooded our entire bathroom all the way into our bedroom and into the living room. We were scooping buckets of water and chucking it into the shower. Then we took a bunch of rags and tried absorbing the water out of our carpets and ringing it out. We put up all the little fans we had and they were one 24/7 for days. It was ridiculous. Carpet cleaning people came a couple days later, but man what a lovely little task that was.
We had another Sister join us for a day while her companion was at a meeting. Sister Swaap. She's sweet. :) Sadly, we brought her to a neighborhood where she encountered her first anti.... and probably the most intense lady I've ever met. We were told passionately that "I'm sorry, but you girls are not going to heaven. You're going to hell and I will pray for you, etc." That's about how our week continued on. Person after person and day after day we were just attacked. One man let us in his house (his wife was home) and proceeded to tell us we were false prophets, anti-Christs, wolves in sheeps clothing, and that God didn't need us. Last night was the cherry on top. This lady printed out a hole document in trying to call us frauds and liars. She told us she was glad we believed we were Christians, but we weren't. Ah, the joys of people.... and those were only a few of them.
Funny thing about it, is that it only strengthens my testimony. I cannot deny the feelings I've felt and the experiences I've had. I cannot deny the happiness that has come into my life as I have followed Christ's restored gospel. Everyone has their opinions and views, that's great. We respect that. :) Respecting people's religious choices is part of our religion. So it's all good in Washington. :)
The rain is back. And hasn't left. It's raining ridiculously hard. Kind of annoying, but oh well.
So I'm staying in Lake Sawyer for my 5th transfer here. Setting the record for the longest time a Sister has been in this ward. This one seems pretty promising too. :) Sister Goble will still be my companion. :) We're excited to work together for another 6 weeks. We have a lot of fun. Don't think I will be staying here much longer after this one though, but we'll see what happens.
Happy Belated Valentine's to you all. We got a Valentine's Card.... one. From a 4 year old boy named Jordan. It had legos on it. Yeah baby.
If you're ever feeling down or not good enough or self critical remember...
Welp. Until next time I'll be doin' it the Federal Way.
Love,Sister Pearson :)
