Hello family!

This week was good! Again, nothing too exciting happened as far as our teaching and finding goes. Some of our investigators have been difficult to see, which means that the time we spend teaching has gone down a little. Which also means that our contacting time goes up. We are almost done with the contact area where we are working now, which has been one of the more difficult areas I've worked in, so we are looking for a new area! I'm excited to start somewhere new and find the people the Lord has been preparing.

We've had some crazy things happen in Aruba this weekend as far as health goes. First, we got a call from Sister Lindley on Sunday afternoon that Sister Melendez was in the ER because she was having pains around her heart. They were worried because she's had a heart murmur since birth. After being in the ER for hours, she got some pain medication and they told her that the muscles around her heart were inflamed and that's why it was hurting. She is doing much better now. Second, Sister Cole started complaining about ear pain on Saturday and finally couldn't stand it Sunday night because she couldn't sleep. So this morning we went to urgent care and she has an ear infection! So she has been catching up on sleep and taking the prescribed drops. We are also praying for her! Third, we found out today that a member in the branch had a heart attack yesterday and is in the hospital. He is doing okay, but he is in our prayers as well! We're not sure what's going on, but people here are falling apart! We have definitely been blessed through it all though, because everyone has been recovering well.

I think I forgot to share a really cool experience from last week:

This week, we decided to go to Chaloburger for dinner, a food truck in our area. We were there and waiting for our food when a worker from the back came and stood next to us and started asking us if we live close. We told her we live in Seroe Blanco and she said, "Oh, do you live in the church?" She had never spoken to missionaries before but had seen our church a few times. Then out of nowhere she said, "You are both really happy." At first I thought she was asking us if we were happy, but then she repeated it and I realized she was saying it as a statement. We told her we are happy because we have a knowledge of God and His love for us, and began introducing our message. She seemed so interested and we were able to contact her and we are planning on visiting her this week! This was such a miracle from God because we have had a really hard time meeting new people, but God placed her directly in our path when we weren't expecting it. I know God has His perfect plan and if we are doing what we are supposed to, we will be in the right place at the right time to receive His blessings and bless the lives of others. 

We are going to visit this woman this week, and I can't wait! God's timing and plan is perfect and I am so thankful for it!

I love you all so much and hope you have a great week! Don't forget to pray and read the scriptures!

Love,

Sister Davidson
