Beach P-day!
We went to the beach for our annual beach p-day today. We had two hours where we played volleyball and ultimate frisbee on the beach. We couldn't touch the wet sand or get too close to the water, but it was so nice to just be on the beach and feel the sand on my bare feet. It was a beautiful sunny day, and wasn't too hot. It was so much fun!
It has been a great week. We've seen so many little miracles that show us how much Heavenly Father really has been guiding us. Diane and Ekambaram come to church on Sunday! They both really enjoy church. We had to leave after sacrament meeting to go serve in the Visitors' Center, but we found out when we were eating dinner with a family in our ward Sunday night that a woman named Caroline had come in to church with her husband and daughter. They had come late and missed sacrament meeting and were a little confused, but ended up going to Relief Society and taking their little girl to primary. Caroline is a woman from India who we met on the street about two weeks ago and she just let us in to her house and we had talked to her about going to church, but we hadn't been able to get ahold of her since that first time. We were really surprised to hear that they had come, so we decided to go over and visit them after dinner and they told us that they had loved it. They have an adorable five yr. old girl named Nitila who is severely autistic and they have really been wanting to teach her more about God. They went into Primary with all of the kids and there is only one little girl in the 4-5 year old class with a lot of little boys, so when she saw that there was another girl coming into the class she was so happy that she grabbed Nitila's hand and was a sweet friend for her. (If only we could all be so loving and friendly to anyone new that comes to visit church! That's something so amazing we can all learn from kids. I think that "Awkward" is something that adults invented.)
Caroline was so happy with everything that she told us "Yes, we will be members of this church." We are going to work to help them to understand the spiritual aspect and not just the social aspect of the church, but they really have great motivations and want to get involved with everything. Caroline is already Christian at least, so she has that background with Jesus Christ that we can build on. It is so interesting that we have found a family and a single man from India, all within this past month. I love meeting different people from different cultures and being able to learn from them and their point of view.
Well, I don't have as much time to write this week, but I hope you are all doing well! I love you all so much, and can't believe how fast summer is coming, and with it, well, lets just say a lot of big changes and new adventures for my life. I still don't know quite how to feel about it, but I'll figure it out and the Lord will be there for me, just like He has always been. :D Take care and have a great week!
