Dear Family and Friends,
So, you know how the missionaries and home teachers and thing ask if they can do something for you? Please, just let them help you. We've been trying to find service all week and everyone just says, "No, we're fine. All of our dishes are clean." Just let us help you!
We did help some random guy wash his car. That was fun. I sprayed everyone. I mean, it is kind of hard to control the hose when you're balancing on one leg ;D And we helped a family that is moving to clean their new apartment. Well, I say new: there was like 40 years of cigarette smoke on the walls. But, it was cool.
Things tried this week: scorpion pepper, reportedly the second-hottest pepper in the world. I only tried a tiny dab and was coughing for quite some time. And Sister Chanka was tossing it on like ketchup! Also, sawine, which is a Muslim dessert. It is noodles in sweetened condensed milk with raisins and cherries and thing. I thought it was good, but Sisters Galea'i and Lapides didn't like it.
Also learned a lesson on the importance of the Spirit this week: We went to teach a Muslim man named Refeeze. He was nice enough, but for some reason we were just having the hardest time teaching him. Poor Sister Lapides was struggling to keep it going, but the rest of us were just receiving NO inspiration. It was like the Spirit was stopping our utterance. I don't know what it was . . . maybe he was not ready for the gospel. So, if you receive not the Spirit, you shall not teach, and also you CANNOT teach. I feel like as I have tried really hard to be sensitive to the Spirit, I have felt Him more. Seek Him.
Scripture of the week: Alma 28:13-14. How can we help lessen this inequality among men?
Hope you have a great week!
Love, Sister Aida Tibbitts
