Man the snow has been so bad this week! Last Monday we actually got stuck in Yakima after Pday and had to stay with the Zone Leaders because the roads were to dangerous to drive on. It was crazy! But it was so fun to stay there because we got to help out with the YSA Activity! Straight up serving in the YSA would be so tight but it sucks cause Spanish Missionaries never get too... It's straight tho lol. But that was just the start of a crazy snow week! Saturday the Storm Maya came through Yakima Valley and it was crazy. We had snow drifts up to 5ft and the wind was crazy! Me and Elder Englestead got stuck in Zillah and had to stay inside the other elder's apartment for the night. Haha That was super fun too. We did a lot of studying, eating and helping neighbors dig out their cars. Our president sent out a message after 6pm no more driving Saturday night and then we got the message that church got canceled, which basically meant that we were going to be shoveling snow all day Sunday... and that's exactly what we did. Haha Sunday morning our bishop called us and came and picked us up and we went and cleared walks and driveways. The sucky thing about all the driveways here is that they are all on hills and the snow was 3ft or higher and we had shovels. Lol but we got to work and had fun as we did it too! After that some members fed us lunch and we had a little testimony meeting with the Winters Family! Man the spirit was so strong! We talked about the things we have come to learn and grow a testimony on with the time that we have been on our mission. I shared that something that I have grown to learn is trust. Trusting in my heavenly Father's plan for me! Trusting the prompting from the Holy Ghost! Trusting that I am suppose to be here and I have come to know the reason I am here serving the Hispanic population in Washington and it seriously is the best thing ever! I have seen little miracles everyday of trusting the prompting I get from the Holy Ghost and trusting in the gifts that he has given me! Having that little testimony meeting and being able to reflect on the past 6 months I have been out was so nice. It feels good to be able to look back and see that I have been trying my best in this work and to be able to see his hand in every hard thing he has helped me overcome! For real so many miracles!
On Thursday we had interviews with President Jackman and Sister Jackman! Man I love those 2! The advice and love that I get from them every time I talk with them makes the day so much better!
Saturday night we had a video call lesson (because of the snow) with one of the girls we are working with. She is so close to choosing a date for baptism! Her prayer was answered that the book of Mormon is true and it was so nice to hear her bear her testimony of it!! We are hoping for March 2nd so she is praying about that right now. But she is going to be such a solid member. Her testimony is awesome and she is just a genuinely kind person! She use to be a boxer haha but now she don't fight she just loves! Lol
This week was so crazy and kind of messed up because we couldn't drive but still it was awesome! Haha but this week we hear that the snow is suppose to be bad again so we will see what happens. Lol but we still gonna find a way to find and teach! The lord will provide a way! Love you all and hope you all have a good week!!
Con amor,
Elder Ka'ili
