Also, would like to mention some better things too.
-Love-
We helped a very old lady living in a VERY large home. We helped here as a district, clean part of her house. "Mrs. Merril" Was so thankful, and invited us to stay as a guest for when we come to Grenada for vacation :) She is a nice lady.
AND, We got word that all the missionaries on the island are flying to Barbados on Aug. 28th!!! We are having Zone conference in Barbados! That will be so Awesome!
We also have been getting to know the branch president alot more this week. We have been removing tile in his new house he is remodeling. It felt good to grab a hammer and a crow bar.
Sadly, non of our investigators came to church due to a member who fell through on us at the last minute for their transportation. It is times like that, that make missionary work stressful.
We had a fun Branch activity this week with locals and the med students. It was so much fun.
While driving to an appointment, We were being tail gated REALLY hard by a Silver Subaru Forester License Plate number #PU 313. This guy seemed vexed at us for no reason. When traffic became congested, he got out of his car and approached our car. He told us to drive better and we told him to go away. He tried taking a "swing" at E. Monroe, but he missed. We quickly drove away when traffic cleared. he go t back in his car and followed us and over took us. We glady let him pass. But he got out of his car to approach us AGAIN! We rolled up our windows and locked the doors. He Tried opening E. Ashcraft's door! (The driver).
We yelled at him "GO AWAY!" He got back in his car, drove ahead and pulled over.
E. Monroe called the police, and I took a picture of his car with out him noticing. Yes, I got his plate number! We drove past him to get to our appointment.... but he began to follow us. After a long 30 sec. chase we maintained our speed and and stuck behind a parked car on a main road. THIS DRUNK, rammed us from behind going 25 MPH! We hit a Honda CRV infront of us. The drunk pulled away and drove into the hills. Haven't seen him since. Lucky, no one was hurt in there car nor ours. While waiting for the police and a tow truck, We were mocked by many people. The police concluded we were not at fault for anything. I had a major headache right after the wreck, but I am ok now.
I believe with all my heart that the spirit kept us safe during this wreck. Details I wish not to share yet.
Somehow, we walked back to town and made it home alive. The worst part was, that we never made it to our appointment :P
This all happened during Carnival BTW. There were many immodest things We have seen people do here while proselyting. It is sad to see a holiday like this, turn some people into wild animals.
Do not ever got to a carnival here.
Always remember, we are children of god. Though the world may have a different view, I strongly encourage everyone reading this to remember that we have a purpose in this life. And if you dont know what that purpose is, meet with the missionaries.
Well, this church is TRUE! Sometimes, I walk down a crowded street and look at everyone who is not a member. I feel sad for them. But I believe they will have every chance to accept it. Just wish it were now.
I love and miss you all. take care, and have great week!
