HELLLOo This week was full of a whole lot of finding and a whole lot of teaching. Sister Sales and I work great together. We keep each other motivated to work hard and every night we come home exhausted in a good way. I don't know why, but for the past couple weeks I've had to sacrifice eating really gross food just for the chance to teach someone. Last week Sister Ellis and I had a guy give us balut as a gift and then wait for us to eat it. We decided to choke it down in order to have an opportunity to teach. Lucky enough for me I threw the baby chick as he watched Sister Ellis, so it was just the egg left....Sister Ellis may or may not still be a little salty I didn't have to eat the whole thing. Then on Tuesday Sister Sales and I stopped to talk to two brothers named Joel and Joepart. As we talked I realized Joepart had a big bag of uncooked eels. When they found out that I had never tried it (bad mistake) they wanted us to wait so they could cook it for us. They agreed that while it cooked we could teach them. It's crazy the things we'll do just to teach someone....The eel was so disgusting. Wednesday we went to Cavan. It's an area we have to travel by boat to get to or it's a very very long walk. We spent the whole day seriously going from house to house teaching because everyone there is so receptive and wants to listen to our message. It's awesome. The rest of the week Sister Sales and I tried to talk to most everyone we passed and now have about 34 new people to teach! We are excited to just keep working, and trying to build this area up. Let me tell you what, I love Sister Sales! This is her second transfer, and she didn't get to work much her first transfer. She has such a passion, and excitement for missionary work. To her, even the most simple and small things are miracles in her eyes. The little things we do day in and day out, had become just the daily routine and a little dull to me, but she's helped me to recognize those seemingly insignificant things truly are miracles.
It made me think of how many everyday miracles we sometimes fail to recognize because we aren't looking. If we really look back on our day we will see God's hand working in every aspect of our lives. Appreciate the little things. Love you all pirme! Halong pirme! Sister Adams
