My first one starts about a month ago when I was in service. We had a bad morning because our car broke right in a call's driveway after we discovered that the wife wasn't too happy that we were even there in the first place so then we had to tow it which was annoying. It just seemed like everything was going wrong and we kept saying that we were just going to throw in the towel and not go out in the afternoon. We thought maybe Jehovah was trying to tell us something. But we ended up prevailing anyway and Colten, Betty and I went out for the afternoon. [Back story: There's a brother, Tim Stenstrom, from Oshkosh whose mom was never a witness but lives here in our territory and we actually came to visit Tim and Katie here at her house months ago before we even were thinking of moving here. So Tim's wife Katie told me I should call on her because she had shown interest in the past. Well Katie and I had been texting back and forth for a month and she finally told me I could call on her but then I asked her for the address and I hadn't heard back for a week] Skip forward to when this story is taking place and we were driving to Colten's territory. The moment we turned down the road I recognized it and freaked out because I recognized it being the road Tim's mom lived on! So we were searching everywhere to find it and a bunch of things happened that prevented us from getting to it but FINALLY we pulled in her driveway and found her house! I ran to the door and her hair was literally sopping so I know if we wouldn't have gotten held up and went there just a little earlier, she would have been in the shower and we would have missed her. So I definitely felt angelic direction with that whole situation. Fast forward to present day and we've had 3 or 4 studies now and they've been great :)
So that's my schpeel. Also, I got a job at US Bank and have been training there full time for the past 3 weeks and I miss service. Hmmmm what else? Oh since we last blogged we had an ugly sweater party! It was for sisters only and we did it during the c.o.'s visit so Carla got to come and that was cool because she's super awesome. And we had our first assembly since being in this hall and it was great! Besides the program being wonderful, we actually knew more people than we expected so that was a pleasant surprise too.
Big shout out to Brother Carley from Escanaba!! :P
Oh and one thing I must also mention - Abby has been having a difficult time sleeping and one thing that does not help is that our entire basement (where we live and sleep) is all windows on one wall and it absorbs ALL the light! So it makes sleeping, especially during the day, very difficult. So when she wanted to take a nap today, this is what we did:
I'm not sure if you can tell, but this is the utility closet in the basement which has the water heater and washer and dryer and very little space - but also no windows! So we made a bed on the 3 square feet of floor in there and she had a nice peaceful nap :)
We love you guys and I'm really sorry for not being punctual but hopefully this will keep you busy for a while. We miss you all and hope to hear from you soon!
Love Ky
