Hey, guys, probably shouldn't send this today since it's not p-day, but there's some things I really wanted to write about.
Firstly, our "Wilford Woodruff day", or our day where we worked from 9am to 9pm, without returning home once. We left super early and got a lot done. Throughout the day, I noticed small things that helped me strengthen my testimony a lot. It turns out, when you sacrifice more, you start to receive more. "He that loseth his life for my sake, shall save it," said the Master. During some lessons, I really felt the Spirit testify of what we were teaching. It's the greatest feeling ever. Also, at the very end of the day, I wasn't sure if we should go straight to our last lesson, or on the way there, pass by someone else we were teaching's house just to say hi and remind about church and stuff, which is something we usually do. I felt super prompted to just go straight to the next house, which was unusual, but I followed. I'm glad I did, because we got there, and I'm not kidding nor exaggerating, the literal moment we got into the house, rain just started POURING like you've never seen before. It's like God was holding on to all that rain so we wouldn't get wet, and the second we were safe he let it go. I know God's looking out for us.
Speaking of rain, yeah this has been a super rainy week. Like all week there's been a huge blanket of gray clouds across the whole sky, which is super nice, because of course that means there's no sun, and it's not hot. I love the rain here! But, the time came when it's Saturday night, and we've invited all of our friends to come to church. We need Sunday morning to be clear so that can happen. Dominicans absolutely abhor the rain, so obviously if it was drizzling at all, they wouldn't come. We knew this, so all day Saturday, we just prayed so hard, Hey, God, thanks for the rain we love it, but just for tomorrow morning, can you please let it not rain so our friends can come to church? Then it can go right back to raining, that's fine. We woke up Sunday morning and ran outside, and dudes it was the clearest day I've seen in the past like couple weeks. Crazy stuff. Even after that literal miracle, most of our people didn't show up which is sad. But hey, whatever--that was a miracle.
We also met Lil Uzi Vert, a famous rapper, check the pics below for that (not actually him lol but imagine.)
Anyway, I think that's all, thanks everyone for the cool emails and stuff, and the support. Hope everything is going well with y'all, talk to you next week!
