Look at this terrifying scene though.. I ain't even gonna mess with her.
This is Mikey Michael Mike pants! I love this kid. He was recently baptized and now he's living with the Curtis family! I love them so much! They were trying to teach us how to play some card game. I swear they were just making up rules the whole time. Still fun though.
Terrible quality picture but I just love this woman. This is Sister Hall. She took us out to eat the other night. Please pray I won't get transferred outta here! I love Camano so much.
Are you all ready for our miracle minute? Well then lets get right to it!
So this Saturday was our ward crab feed activity! It was AWESOME!! We had 4 investigators there including Dee and Gareth. haha I love these guys.
So the miracle on top of all that started earlier this week on Thursday. We were out in Stanwood visiting some people and came across this woman who was taking her laundry out and we started talking to her. All of a sudden a big SUV pulls up and a guy comes out to take her laundry for her. He was a big tall scary lookin guy with tattoos all over. He started being funny and saying "oh yeah, you should totally go visit her! She lives in that apartment right there!" The woman was just rolling her eyes and we just laughed about it and then we both just kinda went our separate ways. Saturday rolls around and we show up to the crab feed. As I'm talking to a sister in the ward I look over and there's that guy with two little kids and his wife! We didn't even mention the crab feed to him! I look over at him and yell "Hey, what the heck? it's you!" He looked over at me and was a little surprised and just started laughing. He told us his name is Rick. A Sister in the ward saw them driving around and they pulled into the parking lot to see what was going on and his little kid jumped out of the car and ran to the sister in our ward and just hugged her leg. Rick was so shocked and said "he's never done that before with anyone!" She invited them to join us and he said "are black people allowed here?" (he's black). They just laughed about it and luckily the only other black person there was our investigator, Eddie. Thanks Eddie for not making us look completely racist. Camano Island is pretty white though.. ANYWAY. Rick and his wife were just chatting it up with a ton of members and were having a really good time. The food was awesome and everyone was so nice and welcoming. Right before they were about to leave, Rick called over to me across the room to come talk to him so I told him no. Jk I totally went over there and he said "Hey, you guys should stop by our house sometime." He then gave me their address and we are going to go see them this week! It was an amazing miracle to see someone's heart change because of the kindness and love of our members. It's fun being a missionary for real. (you can see Rick in the background of that first pic if you look closely)
More from Dee:
Every Saturday night I make a treat to bring to church for Mike (if he memorized the scripture we gave him) or for any kids (or adults) being good. This Saturday I made that one chex mix (everything in your pantry) stuff and we didn't have a bowl big enough to mix it all so I'm a genius and just pulled one of the drawers out of our organizer thing.
I got WRECKED by the sun on Saturday. We spent a few hours in the blistering heat (its been nusto hot this week okay) washing dogs for a community dog wash to raise money for the animal shelter we volunteer at. I smelt like a wet dog the rest of the day and I got this sweet sunburn that looks hilarious with my skirts. I got a few comments on it at the crab feed like "I thought you were from Arizona!". I'm turning into such a baby over here.
Well that's it for now! This may be Sister Pickup and I's last week together! Transfers are next Tuesday! I'll let you know on Monday what's happenin! Pray for us! I'm gonna miss this squirrel!
Love you all! Have a great week!
Love,
Sista K-Mamma
