This week has been so good. I'll tell you some funny stories to start
though.
1. One night me and Sister Phipps were trying to go to sleep and we started
hearing this weird banging down on the outside of our building, like someone was
hitting our wall from the outside, right by our window. So obviously we were
super creeped out and scared!! Haha I got brave though, and decided to watch out
the window to see what was making the noise. So, there is this porch type thing
right by our window and as I'm watching out the window all of the sudden I just
see this huge black figure come at me from the porch and I flip out and
seriously jump into Sister Phipps' bed with her and we are both screaming and
freaking out hahaha. We were hysterical. Then the noise keeps happening and we
were like.... "What do we do??? Who do we call? Its like midnight, no one is
awake? We're gonna get murdered." Then I told Sister Phipps to go look out the
window and she if she could see the weird thing that I saw because I was too
scared to look out the window again, so she did. Then all of the sudden she
freaks out and like falls to the ground because she saw it too!! We were dying
hahaha. I wish we had a video because we were so scared. Turns out, we looked
the next day and it was a door that was swinging that made the big shadow and
the noises....... so funny.
2. On Monday my companion went down to Richmond for a baptism with another
sister, so we just switched companions for the night and I stayed here. I was
with Sister Sher and we went tracting in the apartments all around our
apartment. They are kind of ghetto.... the first night i got here there was a
shooting haha. But we went anyway! So we went up to this top floor and there
were these creepy orange lights and it smelled like alcohol and drugs and stuff
and we knocked on this door and there was a door that led to the stairwell on my
right with a little window on it. So we knock and no one answers, then Sister
Sher says, "Look in the window...." and so I do and all I see is this man's eye
staring right back at me. It was proabably the creepiest thing I've ever seen
and we ran away. And I decided I need some pepper spray. Yup.
Anyway! We also saw some cool miracles this week. :)
Back at the beginning in December we tracted into this lady named Naomi.
She was super nice and told us we could come back. Then, the holidays happened
and Sister Phipps got sick so we didn't have a chance to go back and we kind of
just forgot eventually. Then on Tuesday night we were planning for our next day
and we got done and said a prayer and then Sister Phipps was just like, "We need
to go see Naomi!" I didn't even remember who she was, but we looked and saw we
had her written down, so we put her on our plans to visit her the next day. Then
on Wednesday night we stop by at about 8:00 and she answers and lets us right
in! So we sit down and start teaching her a little bit and she just stops us and
says, "Can I tell you something weird? Last night I couldn't sleep and that
never happens. I couldn't sleep because I was up praying that somehow I would
find a way to teach my daughters about God and how to pray. Then you showed up.
He answered my prayer REALLY fast." So cool to see the power of prayer working
in people's lives! I'm so grateful for it.
I'm out of time but I hope you all have a great week! Lots of love!
XOXO Sister Fowers
