Tuesday: We actually had a good day! the highlight though
was dinner with Deanna Hensley. She invited her friend LouAnn who isn't a
member and we were able to have dinner and it was great we were able to meet
her friend and hare a message. It was such a better way to contact someone. and
at the end LouAnn came up to me and said, " I really hope you don't
leave" I was so touched she was so sweet! so we are hoping that we can go
back and meet with them again!
So Basically we had to go to Idaho Falls this week on
Wednesday for a Dr. appointment. Well We had to find a ride last minute. All due
to Heavenly Father and divine inspiration the Ippilitos and Hank were already
going down so they took us! It was great we had the appointment then they took
us out to lunch at a Habachi grill, and It was delicious "last meal"
as we called it! haha the best part was the who;e time the cook was hitting on
sister Coats.. ya we totally just let it happen too cause man was she
embarrassed! Well once we got all that situated we were able to move on with
the week and have a normal week actually!
Thursday: It snowed... ya.... well it was good thing because
man do they need it here! We weekly planned on Thursday and then had dinner
with the Tiecherts who are the greatest family! we had such a good time and
they are so funny and sarcastic. reminds me a lot of home :). We stopped by
Arlene Lambert's after that and read the Book of Mormon with her and then we
went to Fay Hansen's and talked a lot about her family. :) She is the sweetest
lady and I just love her!
Friday: We had an appointment at 10:30 and we had to meet
with the Fullmers who were coming with us. We met at the Fullmers and went over
the lesson and the points that we asked them to teach. well we went to the
Wasylows who we were teaching and to our surprise there non-member dad answered
the door ( we were there to teach his daughters) and we came in and sat
down well brother Fullmer asked if Scott (the dad) wanted to join well he
did!!!!!! and he even accepted a Book of Mormon! He even shared an experience
he had when he went to Carthage Jail where the Prophet Joseph Smith was killed
and told us that he felt something there! WHAT?!?!? It was the best lesson
ever! It all ended up perfect and they all committed to read the Book of Mormon
together! It was just perfect!! After that we had lunch at the Fullmers and we
just talked all about how that was a miracle!!! Later that day we had a lesson
with Lula Shaffer on of the less actives in Mackay, and we have started reading
the Book of Mormon with her, well she told us that she wants to go to the
temple!! yay!!!!! had dinner with the Phersons! About the Kindest family you
will ever meet!
Saturday: Went and helped out at the Library and put away
some books. Never thought I would become so proficient in categorizing book!
haha after that we went home and I had to write my talk for Sunday and we had
some paperwork stuff we had to catch up on so we took care of that. We went
over and met a family that just came back form Arizona (snowbirds) the Dyes. It
was so good to meet them, We instantly clicked and they welcomes us in as
family! That night we had dinner at the Vadens. Well brother Vaden is also
gluten-free and so they made us an amazing dinner and they even gave us food to
take with us as well as other stuff! I couldnt even say thank you enough! they
were so kind and they really helped us out!
Sunday: I had to speak in Mackay ward on a confrere talk
form last week. So I picked " The Music of the Gospel" since they
also wanted me to tell about myself. Figured I could relate dance to it haha..
It was a good thing though because it gave me the chance to re-read the talks!
it went well and we were able to get Arlene to church too! It was great to see
her there! We had dinner with the VanEttens who made a really good gluten free
chili. We had our big missionary fireside. There was such a good turn out! holy
cow! President Curits and Sister Curtis came to speak and it was great all the
speaker were spot on and were so inspiring! We had interviews with president
after that. And then we met with Bishop Summer after that and he said that we
are the best missionaries that the stake has ever had! it was so sweet of him.
We are just trying really hard but I am so glad that I have had the chance to
stay here! its growing on me! I do love it here! I am so glad that I have had the
chance to serve! Its coming to a close fast but it has been the best experience
EVER!
love you all!!

1. we visited sister Moss (she is from Brazil) ya she is so
outspoken we were talking about the guy she was first engaged to she told us
" he didn't even ask if I wanted to get married and if he did the answer
would have been NO" haha it was hysterical
2. On our way home from Idaho Falls I asked Jimmy Ippilito
if he ever thought he would be driving around 2 Mormon missionaries his
response... "HELL NO!" haha
3. NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED IN THE WORK OF THE LORD (this
week)
4.While talking to everyone this week, we came to the
conclusion that there isnt much diversity here because everyone here commented
on " the mysterious black man walking down the street"
4. We got rid of all of the cereal in the house (which was a
lot!) and on our way to give it to someone, I'm pretty sure sister coats shed a
tear! haha ya she is addicted to cereal!
5.when we called Lula (less-active) to ask if she was going
to make it to church she responded " no i partied to much yesterday that
womens club meeting wiped me out!" haha mind you she is like 89
6. Bo Summers spoke at the missionary fireside this week,
Well he made a comment on how he asked this girl to read the book of Mormon,
and how she said yes but only if he 1. wrote her a letter, 2. drew her a
picture of whales and 3. gave her a pack of spearmint gum.... ya he didn't pick
it up AT ALL that this girl liked him... ya so we all started busting up.
