In the Panhandle, the wind can get kind of crazy, but ended up clocking in at 85 mph on Wednesday! There were trees falling over, roofs falling apart and I saw one get completely ripped off. A power line got pulled from the ground at hit the line and the whole south side of the city was without power for a few days. I have never seen anything like it, but my companion and I have gone around helping wherever they need help this week.
We went on exchanges with our District Leaders on Tuesday and Wednesday. While we were exchanging back in Amarillo, we got a call from a member saying that her husband was going to kill her. She said she was in a closet crying. We were about an hour away from their house, so we went as fast as we could. When we eventually showed up, we knocked like 3 times. We called multiple times, but no answer. So we left. As we were driving away I kept on getting the prompting to turn around and knock again. As we got farther and farther away, the silent prompting turned into a scream and began pounding in my head. I told my companion and we went back. When we knocked they answered. Followed by them screaming at each other with tears in their eyes and insults flying. My companion and I became somewhat of marriage counselors, and were there for about 3 hours trying to rekindle the love that they have for each other. Long story short it turned out to be a success and they came to church on Sunday. I know that the Lord was in that room and in that conversation, with the spirit of the Lord telling us what to say. If I ignored my prompting, the situation could've gone another way.
I love you all and remember to listen to your promptings and trust in our Heavenly Father always.
