So my funnies for the week since I really have no desire to
write.. (hoping this will give me the motivation)
1. We totally related revelations to Harry Potter... which
let me say was pretty hard considering sister Coats has NEVER SEEN HARRY
POTTER!!! haha (ya gave her a really hard time about that)
2. We went to the Ippolitos for dinner this week again and
there neighbor Hank was over and let me just say we laughed a lot....
"10-4... that's cop terms" . haha ya we know haha
3. We went to Sammy's and got some freal shakes and on the
inside of mine it said.. "Chocolate brings excitement... your
welcome" Kind of made my day
4. sister Coats killed the Easter bunny... yup you heard
right . BLAME HER!!! haha on our way home form the Ticherts, she hit a huge
jack rabbit. Pretty sure it exploded
5. So a saying they have here is " I smell bacon, I
smell grease, I smell Idaho State Police" hahah enough said
6.so for the record we can not figure out why our house
smelled. So We came in one day and it stunk bad. So I grabbed the febreeze and
started spraying it well I tripped so I turned it into a dance...yup Im
cool!
7. Macy, one of our Recent Converts she is 10 and so
basically her jokes are hilarious! She turned to us randomly and was like
"imagine Jesus entering at a baseball game.. and NEXT UP JESUS... * the
crowd* AHHHHHHHHHH!" haha kids say the darn-est things
8. So We had some new faces in Book of Mormon Class which
was awesome. One of them consisted of Velma Metcalf from Leslie (mind you she
is like 90) So we are discussing agency and how its a gift and no one can take
it from us and she shouts out "ya except for mothers!" bahahah
9. after branding I totally got rebuked for calling them
CHAPS.. they are really pronounced SHAPS haha ya still don't get
the difference..
so I guess on to this week. It was a pretty good week we
have been having a lot of success and are finding more people who seem to be
ready. Tuesday we went branding out at the Ticherts! Oh man did I feel out of
place hahah It was great they were teaching us what we needed to do to catch
the calf that were coming through well lets just say I let a few of them go by
which consisted of them having to run down the cows.. opps... haha... good
learning though and they totally said we could come back next year! YA!! man it
was hard work and they make it look so easy! dang it ya now I know, these are
legit cowboys out here they do not mess around! haha Later that day we had a
lesson with Michelle it been hard with her. We had a good discussion with her
but she is pretty determined she doesn't want to learn so I think we are going
to give it some time nd space.. Its sad no one ever want to feel like they
failed but we also know that there will be a time when she is ready. She is till
great and we love her and she is a great person and mom regardless. We went out
to lesile after that and we felt impressed to stop at a house and it ended up
being a member. Her name is Holly Bridges she is super sweet she lives here
alone and is just kind of lonely she has some physical restrictions so she has
a hard time getting around well. She told us that she helps clean some houses
for some ladies in the ward on Wednesday so we ended up going with her
Wednesday and helped her clean it was awesome and she is so sweet. It was a
miracle we knocked on her door, because she helped us with service opportunists
and we were able to help her! Tuesday night we went to contact a lady with
sister Smyer her next door neighbor. Well let me tell you the power of member
missionary work because man the lady was so closed off but because we were with
sister Smyer she let us in! and actually warmed up to us a little! it was
seriously such a blessing. Wednesday we helped clean in the morning then we had
Book of Mormon class which was a small group but we had some new faces there.
It was the best class we have ever had! We had such a good discussion with
EVERYONE! I learned a lot and everyone seemed to walk away being spiritually
fed!(which I guess is the point :)) Thursday.......Weekly planning..... Ya I
HATE BEING INSIDE AL DAY!!! ya enough said. Well sister Coats could tell I was
getting stir crazy so we took a break and walked down to get a snack. On our
way back we saw Amy a Less-Active, Bob Moore and Lisa Warner, but the best part
was The guy at the park. We were walking through the park to get back home and
there was a man there with some kids so we just said Hi and kept walking. Well
Sister Coats felt like we should go back.. Me being stubborn was like
"that's awkward if we walk back now". To her gain she said no and we
walked back. Well It ended up being great! Oh course hahah... We talked to him,
his name is Jeremiah and he lives here and he is Christian. He didn't really
understand a lot about our church so we asked if we could talk to him and he
said yes! We also shared the new Easter video. It was great opportunity and
Heavenly Father blesses us. We had dinner with the Ippolitos and Hank., all I
have to say is they make me laugh! There hearts are all being softened and the
Lord is working in their lives! Also read the Book of Mormon with Arlene, She
is like one of my favorite people. I guess you could say it was a little tender
mercy after all that weekly planning! haha Friday we had Zone meeting ..... ya
again I didn't want to be inside. the good part, got so see a lot of other
missionaries and some good friends! so that was huge blessing because I have
been needing that! We had dinner that night with the Huffakers who live way
out! but oh my goodness the best dinner appointment ever! They had some of us
to teach! Brother Huffaker has a fried in Mackay who he invited, and asked if
she wanted to take the lessons and she said yes!!! well we called her that
night ans she was busy this weekend but she said she does want to meet with
us!! YAY!!!!!
Saturday and Sunday consisted of Conference and Easter
festivities. the Mackay Easter egg hunt and Easter egg dying. We saw a lot of
people out and were able to talk to a lot of people that way! Conference was
amazing! I just love it and I love it even more when in lads on Easter! It
amazing that everyone can get something out of General Conference and it speaks
right to there heart and clams there fears or heals them. I am so grateful for
living Prophets and Apostles and inspired people who listen to the promptings
of the Holy Ghost. I love you all and than you so much for all the Easter
stuff! I am so grateful for this time of year and the healing and re-birth that
take place!
