So this week was pretty normal i guess. Normal in a relative
missionary sense. Sorry if this letter is shorter.
The temperatures are dropping and winter is coming. Not sure
if I am excited or not.. still deciding . Monday though we had dinner with the
Orotns a new family in the ward. It was so cute they have 3 little girls and a
little boy and all they wanted to do was perform for us. Totally reminded me of
all those time I am sure Sarah and I put on shows haha. We then went over to
the Carrs a less active family in the ward and we were able to talk to sister
Carr for a while and we just are trying to help her with the move and making
sure she is doing okay. Tuesday we had district meeting and then we went to
lunch at Daisy's probably the cutest place in the world its a little candy shop
run by this older couple and they have a little diner attached to it. with
soups and milkshakes. After that we went over to the older Thompsons in our
ward and helped her rake up some leaves. Ya I learned to rake leave like a ton
this week! We had dinner with Joan smith and her friend she took us to chilis
for dinner YUM!! Had a lesson with David our new recent convert! We talked a
lot about Family history work and he is really excited to take names to the
temple soon. Wednesday We kind of had to run around in the morning to take care
of some insurance stuff for sister Bly. We went with sister Christensen about
ward missionary things and then we went and did service for these non-members.
Anne and Van Petersen. Sister Manning in the ward told them we could help with
some yard work. Van just had back surgery so he wasn't able to help so we
cleaned out their gardens and raked.. again! we went back twice that week! Had
dinner with the Perrons in the ward who they have 2 sons on a missions right
now and then we went to contract a referral we have been trying to get a hold
of forever. So we stopped by her mom opened the door, then she let us in and told
us Kayla (the girl we were trying to contact) was sleeping but she asked if we
wanted to sit down. We ended up talking to her for an hour and a half! She has
so many people who are members of the church and she knows so much, in that
short time she opened up about so much and I can honestly that it wasn't
anything i said or did it was all the spirit. she invited us back and we are
also going to help her paint! woot woot service! Thursday we had to run more
errands.. :/ I had to pick up somethings from the hosptial and what not. We
went over and helped sister manning finish painting her fence. had dinner at
the Robinsons who we LOVE!! and weekly planned.. not so fun haha ;). Friday
sister Bly had Physical therapy and then after we went and did more service!!
helped sister Pertersen (different one than ann) who is a single sister in the
ward we raked her leaves and then we mowed her lawn for her. Afterwards we sat
and talked to her for a while. It amazes me how the members here are doing so
much missionary work! She told us how she invited some people to do family
history work so she was going to help them out! We had dinner that night at the
Soloagas who is the less active family we have been helping. Oh My goodness I
LOVE THEM SO MUCH!!! We had a blast over there and they are changing so much!
since the first time we met them a month ago there has been such a change in
there lives and there family. And they are ALL coming to church now!
#BESTPARTOFMISSIONARYWORK! Saturday we Helped out Anne again and Mary Toft form
another ward (she like JUST got home from her mission) Came and helped us, she
was so much fun! We went over and helped out sister Adams, the primary
president, get ready for the primary program. had Chinese dinner dropped off to
us! GREAT!! and then we went to the elders baptism. After that we sat in the
car for a while and sister Bly was struggling and so we talked and then we went
and walked around the temple. It seriously is such a blessing to live so close
to it! WOW! even though we cant go every week its still just a blessing being
able to walk on the grounds it brought me so much peace and comfort that I cant
even describe! Sunday we had church, we got to help sister Grimshaw in her
lesson, had missionary meeting. Came home, lunch, weekly planned more since we
didn't get to finish. Had dinner with the Spauldings who just moved in. He is
our Gospel Essentials teacher and they are hilarious he reminds us so much of
Caesar Flikerman from the hunger games!! Haha its there are seriously the sweetest
people and we had such a good time with them!
Well that's about all this week 2 new investigators and lots
of service really cant complain Its great. Definitely bundling up here for
winter its getting COLD! haha Love you all and hope the week is Warm :)
