Hey Sister Egbert: 11.3.14

So Tuesday we just did some work in the morning...not very many people were home, we had lunch with the Roaches, they lent Sister Keller their guitar to play on but a string had gotten broken so it needs some tuning. After that we went to the Tatlow's and helped them make pizza for a struggling family and they don't eat anything else, therefore we made a ton of pizza! Also she is an amazing member missionary! She invited her friend to come make the pizza with us and we have started getting a relationship with her so hopefully that is the start of something good! We helped out with Activity Days and they were making sugar cookies and we ended up "booing" some people with the cookies!!(: haha! I forgot how intense it was doorbell ditching! Especially since it was still light outside!! haha! Then we had a correlation meeting with a ward mission leader and we watched Elder Bednar's talk "Ask in Faith" I think from 2009. It talks about the importance of MEMBER missionary work!! Watch it, and act on it(:

Then we went on exchanges, Sister Armstrong came to Ray Town! She's a boss! We walked into the seminary and someone was playing beautiful piano music! It was our good friend Casey and her friend who isn't a member. We got chatting with them a bit, sweet sweet girls. Her friend takes seminary! I see some potential there! Then we had lunch with sister Dawna Jensen and a sub seminary teacher (who served her mission with the lady that taught me in the MTC!!!) And we chowed on some Subway! Then we lost our car keys!!! Tracked everywhere we had gone! Then found them in Armstrong's purse! haha! Then we taught Michelle and her girls! We sang "The Wise Man and the Foolish Man" and taught them how Christ is our rock! haha Sister Armstrong and I should go pro for our amazing singing skills! hahaha!(;

Then we exchanged back, we went to a Halloween dinner and met FRANKENSTEIN!! haha! It was a chili/pie cook off! Talk about a combination! haha! Then we went and taught George and Phil that night! They are both doing awesome! I love when we can count on people to be home with the times we set up!(:

Thursday, after we weekly planned, we ate at the Flyin Hawaiian Ultimate Taco Bus, minus the tacos! (: It was delish! Then we had house inspections and sweet Elder Kunkel just thought we were cleaner then a bean! Needless to say we passed(; Then we taught Cheryl, she said she hadn't read this week so we set up a time to go see her Saturday. We taught Melanie and she has been doing so awesome! We love Melanie! And we happened to have so much food given to us from dinner and we were teaching Melanie about tithing then I just felt like we needed to give her that food and we did and proof of the blessings we promise right there!! Then we went to our second Halloween party. It was also chili! haha! They had apple bobbing though which was hilarious!! "jimmy they don got soaked" haha!

Friday HALLOWEEN we had a big zone conference learned so much goods. The night before also, Pres had asked us to prepare talks and as I was writing mine I was like "Keller, I'm giving the talk tomorrow," and she was like "Whatever, you are just stressing out" and I was like "You just watch!" and sure enough I got called to give the talk! haha! I'll have to send you guys a copy. The spirit does some good work somehow helping me form words in a way they make sense! I learned a lot just from what was coming out of my own mouth! haha! Then we had to be in early and we got 2 trick or treaters! Good thing I had some candy from my Halloween packages!(: I love cute kids! Ah! Made me happy!(:

Saturday our phone was all messed up and it set itself an hour ahead so I woke up at like 5, got out to the living room and saw the real clock and let's just say I ain't no morning person no matter how many times I wake up at 6:30. That's a precious hour!! haha! Well then we practiced a song I played for Sister Robson and her daughter on Sunday while they sang! We helped cut out some letters for the community play. We taught Cheryl which was awesome! She has goals of going to do baptisms for the dead! We got Sister Keller her flu shot and an epi pen because she is allergic to bees and nutmeg...tis the season! Then we had dinner with the Olson's. Sister Olson is french, so she gave us some strong cheese! Yikes! I will stick with my medium cheddar! hahaha! I tried goats cheese and some STRONG bleu cheese....Then we had an impression to go knock a door and it was a sweet guy who is going through a divorce. He has the cutest daughter, Lucy. He showed us all his sweet guns and Harley's and this sweet Indiana Jones Jeep and just a whole bunch of stuff! They have a huge basement with a puny pool table right in the middle! HAHA!! I should have taken a picture!!(: Then it SNOWED! Like dumped! So deep it was like to my forearm!! I think I need taller boots! But it is beautiful! I love snow! So since it was testimony sunday, Sister Keller and I decided we were gong to share our testimony in every ward we cover!! That is 4! I don't think I will ever be afraid to get up in front of a crowd ever again! haha! It was a neat experience. Bearing testimony helps to strengthen my own as well as others. It invites the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost is Christ testifing to us that HE IS ALIVE!! He lives and loves us. The best way to strengthen ourselves is by seeking the source!

1 Nephi 10:6. Read it. Learn it. Love it.

Love, Sister Egbert
