How is everyone doing?! I hope all is well and summer has been lots of fun!
There have been so many miracles this week! So there's this former investigator, Bill, who the sisters here were teaching a long time ago. He's a super sweet 70 year old Chinese man. We were tracting in his area and decided to stop by. He was interested and wanted to start meeting with us again, so we set up an appointment for Thursday. We called about 10 minutes before the lesson to see if he could meet us at the park (since we can't go into his home unless a member is with us). He said no and ended up canceling the appointment because he didn't want to deal with the mosquitoes at the park. Then we were about to go out and visit some other people, when he called us back and said "never mind, let's meet at the park in 5 minutes!" It was super random, but we were happy. So we went to the park and taught him a lesson and it was SO good. Definitely one of the best lessons we've had. Even though our teaching was kind of shaky because we're trying to get used to teaching in a trio, the Spirit was super strong and I know Bill felt it. So that was great and we set up a return appointment and all that good stuff. So that was the first miracle.
Then after Bill left, we noticed some kids from our ward at the park so we went to go say hi. The Fongs- they're beautiful and Fijian..the four kids are RJ (12), Josh (10) Rinara(8) and Kianu(4). They're super less-active, so we know them really well. When we got over to them we noticed that Josh was sitting down and holding his leg like he was in a lot of pain. He showed it to us and there was a huge swollen bump, with a white infected bite-looking thing on it. I don't really know how to describe it, but it was gross. (I'll send you a picture). It looked like a really really bad spider bite. The problem was that their dad works all day and they don't have a mom currently.... so they couldn't do anything about it. The bump kept growing bigger and bigger just in that 10 minutes we were there... so we were really worried. We ended up calling a doctor in our ward, and he looked at it, and said it had to be taken to the emergency room as soon as possible. We didn't know what to do because we aren't allowed to take them to the ER and no one was answering their phones. Then our phone rang, and an awesome lady in our ward said "Hi sisters, can I help you with anything?" Ah, talk about inspiration! So she came by and took him, and got it all taken care of. It was just so good that we were there at that time, even though Bill canceled the appointment, and that our ward members are so in-tuned with the Spirit. It was a miracle. Missionary work and saving a little boy's life all in one stealthy swoop!
I know that Heavenly Father really takes care of His children, and helps put us where we need to be at the right time! And Josh's leg is okay now, they got it all drained and disinfected. If it hadn't been taken care of, the infection could have spread to the muscle and up his leg.. and that would have been really bad, so we are so grateful!! (Sidenote.. this also made me really want to be a nurse! I could handle saving people's lives every day.) I know that God is always watching over us! He loves us so much, and will help us with the big things and the little things. He was aware of the Fong family and their needs, and he is aware of each of our individual needs as well.
