"Jello Fasts and Hurricanes" -Email 09/16/2013

It turns out that every companion I have ends up having to go on Prilosec, a drug for heart burn and digestive system problems. Don't ask me how I do it, but I am a professional with that drug now- I know what number of pills come in different packages, when the dosage should be taken, and what it can counteract. My next companion won't even have to call the nurse :)
 
Anyways, poor Sister Orton has had some yucky digestive system problems and was lucky enough to go on a clear-liquid jello fast for 36 hours this week! Isn't that lucky?! I kept wanting to suggest going out for ice cream and things because she wasn't feeling so good, and then I would realize that she wasn't feeling good because all she had had for breakfast, lunch, and dinner was some jello and 20 calorie chicken broth. Yum.
 
Thursday, walking day, as usual turned out in a massive down pour. It was amazing because the day before was a really heavy, hot, humid day, and then all of a sudden on Thursday the rain was pouring like I'd never seen! One Elder said it was just like Sandy last year, but instead of lasting for a couple of hours it lasted 4 days. Can't wait for hurricane season :)
 
Besides all of that, the work is progressing! I have really loved talking to everyone on the street this week! We found 6 new investigators and contacted like crazy. I was so happy about sharing the gospel I just couldn't keep my mouth shut! I couldn't believe how many mormon.org cards I went through this week. There were a lot of little miracles, like the eternigators who have been taught for 10 years finally praying and getting an answer about Joseph Smith, and running into people who had juked or were just on the street right as they were going or coming.
 
The Lord is aware of each one of His children, and He can't wait to bless us. All we have to give Him is our heart, and He'll fill it up with love :)
 
Love
Hermana Millward
 
 
Alejandra turned 7 this week! We work a lot with her Mom, who is single and a hard worker.
Sister Willis and I on exchange- I lived with her in Jersey City and we have been in the same zone my whole mission.
Pretty much the whole branch that we work with here. I love all of these people!
