I might as well tell you about our "short" adventure. So yesterday, my comp turned left very widely and hit a high curb and rocks. We stopped and took pictures of it. Then kept going when we realized that our tire had a 2 inch gash in it. So we went to a gas station (now 9:30 at night), called the Elders, and put the spare tire on. going home, we had to go slow with emergency lights on so we got pulled over by a cop to see if everything is ok. we made it home at 10:45 (bed time 10:30) This morning, we were told to go to a jiffy lube to get it repaired and I think that we ended up in an entirely different zone, about 10 miles from where we live. Got there, found out jiffy lube doesn't replace or repair tires and that our spare was only half full of air. Went down the street to buy a tire at some small place that we'd have to try to get approved. Got there and of course right off they try to fix the tire. I stay steady and tell them that if they do not call the church first then we will not be able to pay. They finally stopped, found out the church would not pay them. However, they decided to fix the tire for free and gave us their card! Wow, by that point we were just saying nonstop prayers over and over again. Crazy! But all is good now! The best thing about it all was being reminded that people don't hate us for us! They just avoid our name tag. It was funny because we had many people stop and ask if we needed help. They were so kind. Its great to see people who are not members also going out in the world and doing kind things for other people/
This week, we received a referral from another ward for someone in Placitas. The referral, their elders and us went up to give Cathy a blessing. Her daughter (college age) had just passed away from some horrific accident. I'm so excited to begin teaching her., especially more about the Plan of Salvation. She has been so prepared. I hope that she has an open, willing heart with real intent to accept invitations.
We also received a referral from another ward for Ruby in Bernalillo. We are so excited because she sounds so ready and prepared to learn more from someone that she works with. We would have already met her, but a family emergency pulled her away.
This weekend, that man, Charles, with the Garlic had a stoke hours after we met with him. He is in the hospital right now and we are praying a lot for him. Also a recent converts son was hit in the head by a rock and rushed to the hospital. ekkk.

Later in the evening received the following message:
Hey mom, surprise letter, huh? Well, we have to email these photos to the office. Today has been crazy just trying to get stuff with the car figured out. We have an appointment at 8 that I hope the person is home for. The best days are always the days that you have an opportunity to testify of Christ. At least once in a day! To any one. The other night, we couldn't find anyone to talk to. No one was home. But we drove into a gas station and i prayed to see 1 person I could say a prayer with. I am so thankful that we found that one person.
