We didn't get to go black Friday shopping BUT our Mission Leaders wife went for us, YAY! She got us black boots & knee high socks.
Yesterday (Thanksgiving Day) while teaching a lesson at an investigators home, our phone rang and is was Sis M. she is from Utah and was in town with her dad taking care of a trailer. Sis M said her dad was in need of a blessing. We called everyone in our branch and could not get a hold of anyone. So, we called the Elders from Tillamook (30 minutes away) and told them the need. They dropped what they were doing and met us, Sis M and her dad at the hotel they were staying at. The elders gave the dad a blessing...it was Amazing :)
Afterwards Sis M told us that her dads wife had recently died and they had a travel trailer they were trying to clean out...so, we told them we would love to help! We spent our Thanksgiving helping these amazing people.
As I reflect back I think...WOW what an honor to have total strangers trust in us enough to find someone to give them a blessing in their time of need. I am SO grateful for the Priesthood. I am grateful for the Elders that dropped everything to give the blessing.
I am grateful for my family and all that you do!
I love you more than I can put into words!
All my love!
Sis Z
* As a side note, mom and dad received a text from Sis M telling us how grateful they were for the service of these amazing missionaries and how touched they were at the strength of their spirits. To receive that on Thanksgiving was truly a blessing!
