Tons of stuff went down. Let's start with the basics--the weather has been unusually gorgeous. Hooray for that. My happy meter is sky-rocketing. Today, I am getting a fabuloso hair cut. I've been anticipating this for a solid 3 weeks now, at least. So I am READY. Nothing crazy. Don't fret World. I just don't know what to expect. Andrea (my rockstar cousin) is the only person I really trust with my hair. So, here goes nothing!! I'm still super tired. Curses to the terrible Mono that plaques my life.
So, the story of the week has to do with a guy named Will. Good old Will. He's actually not old, but you get the picture. He is from West Virginia. Quiet. Logical. Shy. Engineer. Quirky. Here for a conference.
We met Will at the North Visitor's Center at Temple Square. We were talking with a family and took them through a 15-minute presentation about the importance of families. He came in and joined us too.
Most of the time, this presentation leaves people loving everyone 10 times more than usual and grateful to know that after we die, we can live with our families again. Will just didn't really get it. It was a little to tender for him. He likes logic. Things need to make sense to him.
Will: "How do you know? Do you really think God sends you messages?"
Me: "Well, not necessarily a text message, but I really do believe that God answers my prayers".
We ended up talking with Will for about 25 minutes or so. He requested to learn more back home in West Virginia. We kept talking about experimenting to really test our faith. Great convo. Then Sister Kemsley and I had to go to our next assignment.
Will: "Well, will I see you both tomorrow?"
Sis. K: "Maybe"
Will: "Well, how can I see you tomorrow?"
Sis. K & Me
Will: "haha.. Got it. Oh ok."
Well, with over 180 sister missionaries, 35 acres of places we could be and different assignments, that is really a challenge. Sister Kemsley and I prayed (and fasted too, for a boost) to see Will the next day.
Que next day...we were sitting outside, enjoying the sun in a spot we normally don't sit for lunch. With 5 minutes of our break left, I see a guy and say, "Hey! Sister Kemsley! Is that Will?"
Sis. K: "No...
"Will!!" Yep. We found him. He was just about to leave Temple Square.
Me: "Prayer so works!! See Will!! God knows you! And knows your heart!"
Sister K: "Will, did you pray to see us?"
Yep. He had.
I love it.
I hope you're all doing well!!
Love and friendship!
Happy Halloween!! I hope you have a SPOOoOoOooOktacular Week!!!
