Week 60 - You remind me of the babe WHAT BABE the babe with the power WHAT POWER the power the power of VOODOO who do YOU DO do what remind me of the babe!

THIS MESSAGE IS FOR AUBREY PIERSON

Aubrey what the HECK you're telling me the first time I see any sign of life from you in 14 months is THE DANG DUOLINGO BIRD TELLING ME YOU COMPLETED 10 LESSONS?! i am going to kill you when I get home 

If you go to the Caribbean. And the locals say. "Hey. There's a STORM. STAY! INSIDE! WE WIL ALL DIE!!!"Just know you will be completely fine but it will rain just a little. Well let me explain

So uhh first off 

Tuesday Wednesday Thursday we were just DEAD absolutely dead oh my goodness. So unwell, not good, had to stay in. That was NOT GOOD because come Friday.. SKIN HEAD DEAD HEAD EVERYBODY GONE BAD Yeah so there was a STORM. THERE WAS A HURRICANE! HURRICANE TAMMY! SO THE WHOLE ISLAND WAS ON VIOLET ALERT (higher than red?!) and we couldn't leave the house and the water got cut and blah blah

ALL FOR NOTHING TO HAPPEN CUS TAMMY SWERVED GUADELOUPE! 

So then after being cooped up for Friday and Saturday, we were like ahhh Sunday time to LEAVE

Well nope I wake up Sunday to THUNDERSTORMS RAIN WIND CHAOS!!! So the island was then on red alert and then church was canceled and I was like oh MAN. This is BAD. Cus miraculously, God had delivered me through Friday and Saturday. Because empty days stress me OUT. and yet He filled up that schedule! (huuuuuge miracles). But I felt like by Sunday there was no more solutions! BUT

THE LORD PROVIDEDDDDDDDDDDD!!!! OH MAN SO MANY MIRACLES!!! 

I'll share 2:

I look at my phone in the branch group chat and see a zoom link to sacrament meeting. I'm like OH YES! I click on it and it's... 

MARTINIQUE'S SACRAMENT MEETING!!!! BELOVED MARTINIQUE! It was so great to sit there and see some of the members, and feel the spirit. During the sacrament part though, with meeting being paused, I decided to just read in 3 Nephi 18 where Jesus administered the sacrament. And I was very filled with the Spirit it was GREAT. then I got thinking about how all the elders locked up at home get to take the sacrament (got permission), and Martinique is taking the sacrament, but I just don't get to. And I was way sad over missing out on the sacrament and all that and I just really much missed it. 

TIME PASSES.... WE GET A CALL FROM ELDER JANKE AND ELDER DULAN, and they were SO excited, they were like "WE GOT PERMISSION TO LEAVE THE HOUSE AND GIVE YOU THE SACRAMENT!" WOOOOOOO I was SO HAPPY we left right away to the church and MAN IT WAS THE GREATEST THING EVER!!!! plus those two elders are so awesome so the spirit was so good and I definitely didn't secretly shed some tears while they were blessing it what the heck

So yeah that was a huge miracle for me, I was so glad to take the sacrament and have the spirit be so strong. 

Oh my gosh this week we did visit this bed ridden member Marie Claude and she likes to sing with us. Well I guess she hates it now because she started playing some knock off candy crush with the volume all the way up while we sang oh yeah then it became a solo for sister kaberry cus it made me laugh so I turned away to cover my laughs with coughing

I watched 8 movies this week (with my ratings out of 10)  :

Flipped (5)

Submarine (8)

Labrynth (6????)

High strung dance revolution (rip off of high strung) (3)

Blue Lagoon (6)

Let it shine (7)

Koda (5)

Dirty Dancing (8.5)

OR DID I?!?!? I didn't. But I did, in my mind. Because with all the mundane tasks sister Kaberry and I had to do due to this week's circumstances, I had sister kaberry just rapid fire out the movies. I recognized one part of one song from Labrynth so all this week we haven't shut up about "you remind me of the babe! What babe" she got sick of it by the end 

To remember is to wake up your Spirit. It's a time sensitive matter

Lemme put you on one of the greatest general conference hymn performances EVER :

https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/music-from-april-2014-general-conference/2014-04-abide-with-me?lang=eng 

Go listen to the whole thing

I remember doing sacrament at home each week. As I was thinking about it, I remembered how my parents used the nice glasses we had with the nicest tray and we sat in the nicest room. I felt the spirit in remembering that

Basically this week I learned that when you wake up and have no idea how you're going to even LIVE the day, God will miraculously carry you through if you turn to Him. Cool stuff.

ALSO IN CASE YOU WERE WONDERING ... If you ever need someone to get your cars oil changed, in French, I CAN DO THAT!!!!! New vocabulary unlocked: Mechanics

Yeah so I thuink I forgot like 90 million things

OH yeah we tried to bake without recipes and without sugar (service)

Oh I told the car place that my name was Béthanie (Bethany but in French) FELT (aka sister kaberry's first name with my last) so check out the receipt
