We might have mentioned Rosio before, she is a young single mom that we visited with the missionaries, but, she didn't progress much so the missionaries moved on. We decided to continue visiting her. We stopped by Sunday and had a great chat. She has lots of questions and we are going back prepared. The good news is that she is interested and wants to talk. So, in a few days we will cook up some brownies and visit her. We sort of like to follow up on those that were not progressing. Maybe we can get them to be interested in having the missionaries again.
Blessings
We have learned a bit about priesthood blessings. It seems whatever The Lord asks us to do or we ask him, there is an associated lesson for us. Months ago we gave Kathy a blessing for her eye problem. It was very red and hurting. We were really worried because we knew nothing about the medicine here, so we had faith that her eye would be healed. Well, it was not healed. But with much prayer and faith we were led by inspiration to a great eye doctor. He cured the infection and after weeks and weeks of treatments, this week the doctor put in tiny plugs in her tear ducts and the eye is doing great. So, the blessing came through. And our lesson was, that we needed to increase our faith that The Lord would lead us to a solution, we did, and we were blessed. The Lord has a wonderful way of teaching us. In a very small way, it is like a dad and a little son. The son brings a toy truck to the dad with a wheel off. The dad could simply push the wheel on and the boy would be happy. Or, he could teach a lesson. He could ask the boy what could he do to fix it. Then, he could guide the boy to learn how to put the wheel back on. Maybe the boy would ask the dad to do the final push to put the wheel in place. The wheel got fixed in either case but what a difference.
Eggs on the roof.
We buy eggs here and the eggs have feathers and poop on them. Well a few days ago, we got really bad food poisoning. After questioning all the past food we ate including a few restaurants, Kathy said, maybe it is the eggs. So, we went to the Internet and found that eggs right from the chicken have lot of salmonella on the shells. The lining of the shells keeps the salmonella out but they have to be cleaned really carefully or the cleaning can push the salmonella into the egg. Well Kathy admitted that she had eggs on her table just rolling around and after removing the eggs, cut vegetables in the same place! She tried to kill us!! Gary told her that if she wanted to go home early, poisoning us is not the way. So, we had 30 eggs that we just were not going to have around the house. How do you get rid of 30 eggs. If we put them in the garbage, in a few days the house would smell horrible. (There is no place to put garbage cans outside, and if you did, the packs of stray dogs would have the garbage spread all over). We thought about flushing them down the toilet, but that is not going to work. In fact, the slightest thing plugs up our whole system. So, early in the morning, Gary went up on the roof and threw the eggs into the field next door. He thought it was a great idea. Here is a picture of the roof and where the eggs went.
