Opposition…
PLEASE PRAY FOR US!!! Since the moment we arrived in Utah things have gone wrong! But not in a way like we shouldn’t have come here – but spiritually the opposition for us being here is so THICK. As soon as we got off the plane Daryl looked me and saw my speaking under my breath. He asked if I was speaking in tongues – because he was – as soon as we arrived here you could feel the oppression BIG TIME.
Jeff (Klysta’s husband) and Klysta picked us up – they are both so amazing – and FUNNY! Jeff had us laughing the whole time. He and Klysta took us to the Mormon Temple for a tour – Jeff was born and raised a Mormon and even got married in the temple (to his ex-wife, before Klysta) and God delivered him! He was sharing some of their crazy doctrine and showed us the satanic symbols on the temple. I’ll tell more about that later.
Anyway, I LOST MY PHONE too, where – I have no idea. I had it when I got off the plane cause I called Klysta – but after that…??? We went around the temple over and over and asked if anyone found a phone with no success. I canceleed the phone service right away and ordered a new phone. Surprisingly, I saw the FedEx man deliever my new phone this morning!!! I was so pleased! So I called Cingular to get the service hooked up.
I spent about 2 1/2 hours on the phone this morning with Cingular – three times I got through part of the service set up, and the call dropped. The third time I had found a land line in the office so I gave the Cingular guy the number and he called me back. We set everything up but the new phone call wasn’t getting the phone call when he tried to call so he said it takes 10-15 minutes so that he’d call me back. After about 20 minutes I decided to use Daryl’s phone to call my new phone and HIS was DISCONNECTED! Then mine worked but it had Daryl’s number!!!
By this time I was almost frantic. I had to call Cingular again and this time the guy on the phone said that he was unable to turn Daryl’s service back on because once the SIM card was cancelled it couldn’t be turned back on. He said that I’d have to find a Cingular store and get a new SIM card and that they couldn’t send me a new one – it would take 5-7 days. I freaked. I told him that I was more than 500 miles away from home and now I had no one’s number and I didn’t even know where I was and that even if there was a Cingular store here it probably was on Salt Lake City which was THREE HOURS AWAY! (We’re in some rural city in the stix.)
Through it all I did remain fairly calm (although I was crying) and I didn’t yell at him or anything cause it wasn’t his fault. But boy was it hard.
To make a long story short the guy is sending me a SIM card priority mail and also erased my phone bill this month! Hallelujah!
But I did lose ALL of my phone numbers…including the pimps, and many ministry numbers. Hopefully, people will call me so I can get their numbers back.
Aside from that happening – we LOVE it here! The people are amazing, we hung out with everyone last night and when we got here, they had set up a HUGE basket of food and fruit for us – we could stay in our room for a week without even having to leave if we had to. Tonight Daryl is driving their church bus to pick up their kids and Sunday night we are speaking the church. We are also going to the youth detention home here to speak to the kids here.
When I have more time I’ll share more. For now, I’m just asking people to PLEASE PRAY for us. We KNOW that God is moving and great things are happening. There is no doubt that God brought us here and the enemy is NOT HAPPY about it. We need a lot of your prayers! Thank you!!!
