It was over 100 degrees for the past few weeks in SLC, but this week is supposed to be perfect weather. I'm grateful because I have been a little surprised at the clothing styles I am seeing here in the US. The fad seems to be short shorts and tiny dresses on women of all ages. Guess I am turning into a prude.
A friend lent me his Jeep. He kept describing it as old. I love it! I told him it would be perfect for Honduras. Hahaha!
Yesterday I met with my friend Allan for lunch. That was super nice and relaxing. We had a few hours to sit around and catch up, talk about the past and future. It was a perfect way to start my whirlwind tour of Salt Lake.
Then I headed straight to the dentist with onion breath from my salad. Got a good cleaning and the doctor found nothing wrong with a tooth that was KILLING me for about 2 months. He said maybe it just needed to be cleaned. He donated toothbrushes and a big box of toothpaste, as well as a spin brush for some lucky person in Honduras.
My purse broke as I was leaving Denver, so I am now without a purse, trying to keep track of everything in my pockets. Since I had a break between my prayer meeting and the dentist I went in search of a purse. Apparently I am a picky purse buyer because I looked through hundreds and couldn't find any that I really liked.
I happened to be by Kohls, and since my watch died last week I figured Kohls was a good place to pick up a cheap watch. Several people warned me the price of watches has gone up. They were right! No watch for me either.

My time of prayer with a lady who is a gifted healer was quick but great. God gave me peace and advice about how to move forward. In the prayer time He also spoke to me a lot about rivers, which you will see is extra awesome once I post the photo of the gift that Jody got me. He is tying things together in a special way so I know His words are for me.
In the evening I was able to meet with my friend Kim and her kids. Our time reinforced to me the honesty and sometimes braveness it takes to maintain a respectful friendship. I appreciate the fact that we trust each other enough to address anything we need to talk about, knowing that it comes from a loving place.
Spent the rest of the night filling in every little gap of my schedule. I was hesitant to pack it too tightly, thinking it would get stressful. But there are so many people I'd like to see, that it's going to be back-to-back meetings until I leave on Tuesday. I am blessed that so many people are willing to take the time to meet with me!
This morning I have a meeting with my home church, then lunch with my friend Arlene, who has been a long time supporter. After lunch I am getting together with Kacy, who also has a heart for Honduras. And dinner with be at my friend Kate's house with her husband and baby!
My general prayer every day is that the words which leave my mouth are of God, not of me. And that His presence will shine through me in a way that is apparent to those with whom I am meeting.
