We were visiting with a
less active mother and daughter today. We have been working with them for some
time. We had a visit with the mother last summer out on the front porch and
visited with both of them out in the chicken coop last fall. We had dropped off
a Christmas gift from the branch and Sister Anderson made soup for them when
they were sick. We needed eggs for the meal sister Anderson was making for the
missionaries tomorrow, so I suggested we call this mother and daughter to see
if they had any eggs for sale. They told us they just sold 10 dozen but would
have some by this afternoon. We went out to pick up the eggs and they invited
us in. This was the first time we had been invited inside. We had a nice visit
with both of them around the kitchen table. We learned a little more about
them. They talked about losing a family member a daughter of the mom and sister
of the daughter. She died several years after giving birth to a little girl.
They shared how this little girls talks to them all the time and tells them
when her mother comes to visit. That was special and precious.
However, then they shared
how the house they are living in is haunted and they hear this person talking all
the time however they have determined he is harmless. Last week in one of our discussions
a person we were visiting with said the house he use to live in was haunted. Even
the ghosts must like this part of Kansas.
We had a prayer with this
mother and daughter and invited them to Church and several upcoming Relief Society
events.
