The Master is Calling! : Hi

HI EVERY PERSON,

The weather this week was... Ridiculous. We had snow, hail, rain,
wind, sun, and ice EVERYWHERE. When it rained, the sun also melted the
snow and there ended up being giant puddles everywhere. The Bitterroot
Valley (corvallis) had some flooding, so at least I didn't have to
deal with that! We did do some more shoveling when it was snowy at the
beginning of the week though. It was weird because there was a layer
of ice on the top that we had to break through to actually get to the
snow because of the freezing rain the night before. Sounded cool
though! (Shout out to Jenni, remember that crazy hike we did at the
cabin when the snow was like that? That's what it reminded me of:)

One of the coolest things that happened this week was when we ran into
a man named Andy Dunn. Andy is a less-active man that we went looking
for because there was a record for him in the areabook. When he came
out on the porch to talk to us, we were surprised at how genuine and
kind he was! He seemed very excited to see us. As we talked to him we
learned that he had been bed-ridden for 5 years because of back
problems and they had just recently been fixed. As we talked, we felt
prompted to ask about his conversion. He talked a lot about his
conversion and what brought him to the church in the first place. He
spoke with an incredible fondness toward the church that we did not
expect. It was amazing to us that God had brought us to the right
place at the perfect time to talk to this choice soul. That's all
missionary work is, following the spirit to be in the right place at
the right time! We can not know exactly who needs us, but God does. I
love this work so dearly.
