Hey Family,
Love you all and hope everything is going good. Love the
pics!!!!
Monday, we hanged with the elders for a little bit at the
church playing spot it. Then we went to Fern's house and painted. We had a lot
of fun painting and I know that she sent you a few pics.
Tuesday, while we were tracting I went to go knock on a door
and I looked up and a huge spider was right in front of my face. Sister
Demetropolous and I were laughing about it. After we went and saw Essie. We
sang a few hymns with her and showed her my picture book. It was fun looking
through the pictures and being able to sing. It went very well, but we are
struggling to have Essie come to church. She is an eternal investigator and has
been seen by a bunch of missionaries. We will just have to see where the Lord
takes her.
Wednesday, the Zone Leaders came up because they had MLC the
week before so they talked with us about what happened. Nothing much is going
to change right now. President Olsen is just feeling out the mission and will
make some changes later on in the future. Then later that, Tammy Myhre and her
husband took us out to dinner. We had a lot of fun being able to talk with
another member. She is a convert to the church and they are both working on
going to the temple. When we were leaving, it was pretty dark outside and we
could see Tornado funnels starting to form. It was pretty cool.
Thursday, we went to Temple Theatre and we got to walk
behind the scenes there. It was cool but creepy at the same time. I felt like
the Phantom was going to pop out. Then after that we went to go see some
referrals that we had recieved. We met Tocarro and were able to teach her the
Restoration and when Sister Demetropolous invited her to be baptized, and she said she would. Yay!!!!!! We were super
excited about it and are trying to find a ride for her to come to church. Then
we went to Sister Stone’s house and did a practice lesson with her on the Plan
of Salvation. The lesson went very well and Sister Stone was very talkative
today, which she normally isn't. Then we went over to Sarah and Colton Campbell’s
house to have dinner. They are moving in a few weeks which is super sad because
they are great. Later we went to an
investigators house, Jottie. Her daughters are members but she isn't. The
oldest daughter had just got back from youth conference and wants to serve a
mission. So we talked with her about our mission and got to watch some mission
call openings on youtube. It was pretty fun to watch them and to think that I
have already gone through that. It is so weird!!
Friday, we rode our bikes in the morning and it was super
hot outside. We had drank all of our water and no one answered the doors. But
it was nice to ride the hills going back home. Then we went out to Marion to
visit some potential investigators. We
got to see Clarissa and Brandi's girls. After we went to the Nelson's house to
teach Tybise and then they feed us dinner. It was really good. Then we were
able to talk with them for a little bit.
Saturday, we tracted in the morning and tried seeing people.
Then we went and helped a new family move-in. It took us about an hour or less
to unload the moving truck. It was fun to meet the new family and talk with
members.
Sunday, Church was kind of rough because none of our
investigators came to church and the whole day was about pioneers and families.
It made me pretty home-sick. After church we had correlation meeting and Brother
Morgan was telling us to not be discouraged. After lunch we tried to see people
and tract. We were getting eaten a live by mosquito's.
Love you all!!!!!
