That's right
folks
! One week more till transfers!! AHHH haha this part always makes me super
nervous! haha I don't ever want to leave but I also know that wherever the Lord
wants me will be the best place for me.. I mean look I would have never picked
Twin Falls Idaho and now I love it here! haha But This week has been a little scatter
brained so sorry if the Letter reflects that!
Monday was P-day and we had to give the car back :( sad day
but a really cool thing was that we were able to talk to this guy at the car
wash (he helped us because we could not figure out how to work the Dang
Machine!) but we ended up talking to him for an hour and he is in the military
and he left for Dubai this week. He told us that his mom and sister are LDS and
that he really enjoys everything we teach the spirit that we bring. It was a
really cool experience being able to talk to him and hear his testimony of
Christ.
Tuesday we had so cancelled appointments and but one of the
tender mercies of our horribly broken phone was that one of our investigators
Lisa texted us 5 minutes before we got there to cancel on us but because our
phone is broken we didn't get it till 3 hours later! haha so we showed up and
we were still able to have a really awesome lesson with her! We also went and
helped on of our investigators Jeff out and help him with some of him plants.
Wednesday we had weekly planning because of our exchanges
the following day. I also had my last appointment in Boise (and I think It has
gone really well) We had dinner with one of our part-member families that night
and there 2 kids who aren't members came to mutual with us and we got there
daughter Maedena all signed up for girls camp and she is so excited! And I am
so jealous I want to got to girls camp with all of them so badly! Thursday we
had exchanges to the STL's (sister training Leaders) came down and we swapped
for 2 days. I went to Filer with sister Harris and sister Bautista stayed here
with sister Dodds. Sister Harris and I had a blast in Filer They didn't have a
ton to do so we contacted a lot of different people and I was able to learn a lot
form her and about perseverance and never giving up. we were going to head
home, but instead we went back to this one lady who told us we could come back
later and talk to her roommate. We went back right before we were going to go
home and we were able to set an appointment with her and she told us she wanted
to come to church too. If we hadn't gone there that night it could have ended
compactly different than how it did! Its amazing the miracles that can happen
when we listen and follow the spirit.
Friday we met back up with the sister and traded back. we
went right into Zone meeting where we talked about working with members and how
we can better fellowship our investigators I really got a lot out of it and we
have been really excited about implementing a lot of our new ideas! Friday
night we met with a new investigator Rick, he has just recently gotten out of
jail and before he got out he asked us if we could help out his mother and so
we have been going over there and helping her out since she is elderly and not
as mobile but we went over there on Friday and we were able to talk to him and
ask him what he learned ( he had been talking the LDS class that we have been
providing in the Jail) he said he really like what they talked about and would
like to come to church! Later that night we met with Jaqui who we were able to
reset a baptismal date with and we found out he mother and son both want
to take the lessons too! So we are really excited and she told us that her
husband doesn't really like religion but she talked to him about it and her
told her that we can come over and if she really wants to be baptized he would
come and support her! So it was a huge blessing when we found that out!
Saturday we Went and visited a lot of people we went over to
Mary wests house bust she and been busy with her grand kids that day so we
reset an appointment. we went and talked to a referral we got for this lady
named Goldie Ashford she had had all the lessons and has read the Book Of
Mormon and she told us that we could come back! we also invited her to church
We went to a baptism later that night for the Elders and we had a Book of
Mormon study group with some of the youth in the stake who are preparing fro
missions.
Sunday we Went to church and it went well Goldie was our
only investigator that came but she left half way through sacrament meeting.
She was crying the whole time and we had no clue what to do. Later that day she
told us that a family friend had just passed away and she was struggling. We
talked to her for a little while and them we were able to set a time to come by
and talk with her. So somehow I got roped into singing this coming Sunday I
keep telling people Owsley's don't sing and the wont believe me! So we had to
got and practice yesterday and I told them I am not guaranteeing anything. We
had dinner at the Ogaurds and then we had to finish some planning and stuff so
we went home and finished then to our meeting.
It was kind of a crazy week and we have been doing really
well with finding people to teach we are just really working on helping the
progress and keep commitments. But Its all in the Lords time and we have been
working really hard! I love it here though and am so grateful for the blessing
that it is to be here! Hope all is going well back home Love you all lots!

Love,
Sister Owsley
Interesting things from this week
1. Brother Giles' brother in in our ward! Crazy it was
really funny when we found that out!
2. President Owsley was just called to be in our
mission presidency, we are still attempting to find out how we are related!
haha they lived in Hagerman and apparently there is a bridge here named after
us Owsley's (Were pretty famous and loved here) We were laughing though because
everyone I meet here that knows Owsley's tells me I look like on! Pretty funny
