This week has been an adventure. Michigan has been flooding all over the place. Thank goodness that it hasn't flooded here in Cadillac! However, every night it seems to dump rain, with tons of thunder and lightening. I have had never heard the crack of thunder and lightening as I have here. On Sunday our power went out for a few hours. No one else's did so we wonder if a pole or something went down by us.
We finally got to meet with Megan McBrian this week! We have been trying to meet with her for months she is a less active. Every time we try to call or text her she doesn't reply. So this week when we went to the Hartman's for dinner S. Vanessa Hartman invited Megan. They are good friends. We got a return appointment with her and as we were talking I said oh what is your number we don't have it in our phone. So she gives it to me and I say okay we will call you so you have ours. I give her a call. It rings once and then straight to VM. So we do this a couple of times. Vanessa then tries to call her and it rings just fine. Finally Vanessa says, let me see the phone. She goes into the settings and it says that it is blocked. I just laughed inside as Megan says. I don't know why it is blocked haha So we got that all straightened out and have met with her a couple times. Things are going great with her and we pray we can continue to meet with her.
Many miracles happened this week. We found a former investigator part member family and have gotten a return appointment with them. We were out walking around and they yelled out to us. It was so great.
Then the next day we were leaving an appointment when a man named Don came chasing us down. He is an older man and said I don't know if you remember me, (which I did), but I want to share my story with you and then I will listen to what you have to say. It was such a wonderful miracle.
The last miracle was we were out door knocking and I had to go to the bathroom so bad! I had just drank so much water and my bladder was so full. Well the closest bathroom was like a 15 minute drive and I really didn't want to go in the forest. So we kept knocking, as we were almost done with the neighborhood, and I said I know that one person will open their door to us. Then the very last door we knocked here came some kids to answer the door (4) and..... A PIG!! They had a pet pig named molly! Not only did we get to use their bathroom, but we also had a lesson with the kids and their mom. It was such a miracle in so many ways!
The work is moving forward here in Cadillac. I love Sister Hughes so much!! She is doing great. Learning more how to talk to everyone and be bold, but she makes so much progress every single day.
Okay the title to this email I still hate animals. This week we were out stopping by a couple of potential investigators homes. We had just stopped by this lady's home and were talking to her. Her stupid dog wouldn't stop barking so she picked him up and he leaned forward and bit my hand! I was like you've got to be kidding me. Anyways then the next day we were at a members house and they are taking their 5 dogs inside and they all start to jump on us. So now both of us are covered in dirt on our shirts and skirts and Sister Hughes starts breaking out in hives. Let's just say if I even have an animal it will either be something outside or a fish or turtle.
I love you all so much! Thank you for all that you do for me. Keep being wonderful and let me know if I can do anything for you.
"No one cares how much you know, until they know how much you care." and "Dream no small dreams. They have no magic to stir men's souls."
Keep showing how much you love and care for others. A small act of kindness goes a long way!
Love Sister Milar
