Well I forgot my planner with all the happenings of the
week so I will do my best at hitting all the highlights(: This week
Keller and I worked our little fannies off just meeting every single
person we could meet, nobody gets left out in the Lord's work!(: And no
her first name isn't Helen, I don't know how many times she got asked
that haha! But we had some pretty sweet experiences!
So Tuesday when we
came home from D Meeting we were just knocking and knocking and no one
was home and we came up to this house, the front steps were in a hole
and all the siding was torn off and we were starting to question if
anyone lived there and just as we were about to pull out a lady comes
walking out! So we jumped out of the car and went and talked to her. Her
name is Andrea. They just bought the house at the beginning of the year,
she is not a member and her husband is LA. She was just chatting our ears
off and we offered to do some service for her, she was getting her hair
done that day but we planned to go back Thursday to help her out on her
farm(: Which we did, it was sweet! We just were cleaning up junk and
helped her catch her chickens and all things that are good! Even played
with her horses a bit, naturally! I'm glad Sister Keller has my same
love for awkward farm animals! (: haha!
Wednesday morning we were
knocking on doors again, people watch us out their windows, we're told
it's a Raymond thing, but the doors are generally open before we even
start up their sidewalk haha! So we get to this one house and a lady
opens the door, bible upside down in her hand and says "I'm already
studying God's word!" *SLAM* haha! She knows it backwards and front and
up and down!! hahaha! Then we helped Sister Roach package her sheets up
for a fundraiser and taught her little ninos a little lesson.
Thursday
night we taught Phil a lesson and he loves talking about the day we
found him. And Sister Jensen came with us and asked him what his
thoughts were when we knocked on his door and he said "This is my
chance!" It was so sweet!!
Friday we helped at Good Sam's, it was an
ice cream social! I love those days! Never a dull moment with Merla and
Jerry(: Then we helped the Streibel's (we live in their basement) with a
little Halloween primary party. I think the kids really enjoyed it! I
got to carve a pumpkin and everything!(: The elders kept mooching
dinners at member houses with us haha! We did have a sweet dinner
experience though, a familiy's less active son and his fiance ate with us
and when we shared the message he was like "Hey dad that's what you
always used to say to us!" and started talking about how he hadn't
visited or talked about anything gospel related for years! We have got
to get the Lethbridge missionaries to go see them!
Saturday we went
service tracting and ended up helping a family clean out their garage!
The mom is good friends with one of our good friends and they are going
through a hard time so we are going to keep swinging by and helping
them! They have the sweetest kids too! They have two sons, Bowen and Aero! hahaha! They fed us lunch and took good care of us! Good way to
spend a Saturday, helping people get cleaned up for winter! Then we went
to an elderly woman's house, she just got out of the hospital, so we
figured while we were in service clothes we'd better swing by and help
them out! Well when we got inside she was skyping her daughter on her
mission and they were getting ready to skype teach a guy in Ukraine so
they invited us to teach with them! It was so sweet!!!(: i can't wait
until we get ipads!!(:
Sunday was a pretty sweet day! We got to meet
with the stake presidency and we are working a lot with getting the
members and people a lot more involved in missionary work! I think
they're catching the vision! So all in all it has been a great week!!(:
love ya!(:
