Well, I have gone through the week and I have survived!!! I am a survivor! It was really crazy this week. We got an ice storm on wednesday and when we woke up, the roads and our hill were ice. We decided not to go anywhere that morning and afternoon and we did our planning a day early. we went out that night though and we were blessed to get a new investigator. I hope we will be able to see her again. We witnessed a miracle this week. We went to a members house and stayed for a while. I thought I parked it a good enough spot but when we got in the car and I stepped on the gas, I was going nowhere! I had my foot all the way down on the gas pedal but didn't go because I was on ice. I put it in reverse and I went somewhere and then I went forward and again went nowhere. I stopped and prayed that we would get out. I put the car in reverse and somehow someway, the car hit the ice just right and the car traveled sideways until it straightened itself out. I was amazed. Then I put it in gear and went on our way. i was so happy to not get stuck. So now, when we know that we will not get up a hill or out of someplace, we park on top of the hill and walk down even if it takes a while.
Here in Beattyville, the roads are nothing but curves. There is not one straight road besides the highway. And everyone lives on top of a hill or in a holler. A holler is when you are down a hill and around a mountain. Mostly just at the very very bottom of a hill. It is kind of frustrating in the winter. We want to go to so many places but we can't because we will get stuck. Oh how I wish we had four wheel drive. That would be great.
My companion is a great worker. She has such a strong testimony and she is just great. She has lots of great ideas. :)
I have to get going but I love you all. I can't wait to talk to y'all on saturday. WOOHOO!!!!!!
Love sister ralph
