Can you believe it's June already??? Man, time is flying faster and faster.
This week was less jam-packed, until the very end. :) We actually had time to breathe! And sleep! And do some office work! Which was great, because it was so needed. We were able to get going on creating some of the content for the Primary PVC. Designing "Prayer Sandwiches", ordering fun stuff. :) The Cape Cod Primary sent us the cutest videos of the kids answering questions about God. Can't wait to put that into a movie!
Sister Bybee and I practiced for our musical number at President's goodbye Zone Conference. I'm super nervous, but it sounds beautiful! Sister Moss is stellar at the piano! And then the Weston sisters called and asked us if we (Sister Moss and I) could do a musical number for Zone Meeting, this last Friday. We were all excited, pulling out sheet music and examining our options. . . BUT THEN SHE ALMOST CUT HER FINGER OFF WHILE CUTTING BUTTERNUT SQUASH. Seriously though, it was bad! I thought she'd have to get stitches, but she narrowly escaped such torture. :P Turns out I'm not very good at high-stress situations when it involves blood. She's okay, though. And she still managed to play the piano for me while I sang "A Window to His Love" at Zone Meeting. :)
Speaking of terrible injuries, I have a miracle story to share with you. Elder Raymond, from Brockton, was biking in the rain last Monday night. A car didn't see him and hit him. Knocked him down hard, and the wheels went OVER his legs. Both sets. And you know what? He's going to be fine. He has staples in his knee, a black eye, cuts and bruises everywhere, but no broken bones or anything. It's truly a miracle. His companion thought he was dead. We went to Brockton for their Open House on Saturday and got to see him. He was dressed in proselyting clothes, looking a little worse for wear, but hobbling around and cracking jokes. It's something I'll never forget. Their Open House was pretty great, too! I love that ward. Lots of members and less-actives came, and they even filled the font for the tour!
Yesterday was HECTIC. Sundays always are. I didn't understand anything, again. But this time it was because we went on triple splits. TRIPLE. Haha. Sister Couto and Sister Asay went to Belmont for us to film the Primary kids there for the video we're making. Then Sister Moss and Sister Cruz took off to go to New Haven and train the YSA ward on how they could use the PVC! Sister Carvalho and I hitched a ride with the Assistants and eventually made it down to New London, CT for a baptism. I'd never been there before! It was fun, but really, it was all Spanish. I wish I could understand more Spanish/Portuguese. :) Because we were so dependent upon the Assistants for our ride back and they had to visit people, we didn't get home until really really late. But we made it home! That's what's important.
I love the mission, and I love the Lord! I can't wait for what's ahead, and I'm trying every day to consecrate myself to Him more completely!
Love you all! Thanks for all you do!
Love,
Sister Merkley
MBM PVC Missionary
