What a crazy week!

June, 2 2014
Hello Everyone,
This week was pretty crazy. I'm just going to jump right into it. Monday morning we received a call from the Zone Leaders saying that they had changed Zone conference from Wednesday to Tuesday and seeing as how it takes 6 hours to get there for us, that was quite a big difference. So we were going to leave at 3 on Monday and sleep in another city to get there Tuesday morning for the conference. Then just after my comp started his email, we received a call from the Sisters of Crotone (the closest city to us but still about an hour away) and they asked us to come to the hospital in Catanzaro where they were. They had gotten into an ambulance with a lady and she needed help but they drove them and hour to get to the hospital here because the one there is really bad. We went up there to give this lady a blessing and then we had to try and get back to get our train to make the bus to get to Zone conference. This lady that they were with was from Whales and was on a cruise when she went into labor while they were at port in Crotone but she was only 6 and a half months pregnant. She didn't speak any Italian and she was stuck there but luckily somebody that works at the Hospital there called the sisters to go and help them at 4 in the morning!

Then they canceled our miny train to get to the big train so we were stuck in Catanzaro because we missed our train to get to conference. Then we decided we could go to Crotone and stay there with the elders there for the night and take a 6 oclock bus that would get us to conference. We did that and finally made it to conference. Then we almost missed our bus home but somehow managed to get on. On Wednesday we finally got home from conference and then went to help the sisters who had been helping this lady. SOOOO CRAZYY but the people who had the baby were sooo grateful and it was their first contact with the church. The baby is okay but really small so the mom and the baby have to be here for another month. We will go and visit them every once and a while just to see how they are. Haha soooo crazy.
Sorry I didn't talk about any missionary stuff but I wanted to share this story. It was really crazy and a miracle that they were able to find the sisters and therefore save the life of this baby. Everything has a purpose!!! and everything happens for a reason. The Lord loves ALLLL of His children and cares for the life of each and every one. I know that He cares for us and Loves us. We also had many other miracles this week that have been recorded in my journal for other days but I am sooo grateful for this opportunity I have to be here and see the hand of the Lord every day. I love you all!! Have a great week.
Love
