Monday we had another family night thing on the commandments. Not very many people showed up this time, about 20. But i felt like it was exciting!(: haha! Tuesday we had a district meeting in Magrath, learned to teach people more about eternal blessings and not just the blessings we get here on earth. We contacted some sweet people after that! one being this guy, Jason, he is catholic but he is super awesome! So we'll see where that one goes(: we had an appointment set up and they weren't home, we were bummed but we did have splits set up for the night which was rad! A girl who just graduated named brandy came with me. Her first time with the missionaries! I think she was nervous but she did awesome!(: it's weird to think that's how i used to feel! ha! now i just invite myself into people's homes like i belong there! haha! Wednesday morning we got all our packages and stuff ready to send off! We did some service for Sister Roach. We saw a lady named Chris and decided we are going to do something special for her for Christmas(: We went to teach Michelle and her girls, she said they were running late at a parent teacher conference so we went and met her neighbors and found Kristine! It is amazing the little miracles and the amazing people the Lord places in your path! We talked and the spirit was STRONG! holy smokes! she wasnt super interested that she thinks but she definitely invited us back so we were just cheesing from cheek to cheek after that! Then we went and taught Michelle and her girls and i just love them!!(: It's crazy i have only known them a short 4 months but boy i have just come to love everyone around me it is just the craziest feeling! haha(: Then for dinner they ordered a pizza for us from Burger baron, we had had pizza for lunch and the next day we had more pizaa...it was a pizza week! haha(: but it was good! Well after that, we met up with Shealeigh, she just got home from her mission from Vegas, i have mentioned her a few times but she is awesome! She came with us to teach George! He is stubborn though he believes in god listens to the bom and general conference, walks 5 miles a day, we are just trying to steer his walking right into the church on sunday!(: haha! he'll come he now prays! He said the most beautiful prayer this week too! Then we went and visited with a newly wed couple(: The husband ropes and stuff and their house is CUTE! (: and Shealeigh new Brady from HS so it was sweet to have her there with us!(: Thursday we helped andrea around her little farm with her chickens and horses and stuff! dream service right there! We will hopefully start teaching her soon. We ate dinner with the petersons (pizza) haha! and they are just the sweetest! Then we taught Miss Melanie. She is like the most honest person i have ever met i love her! haha! She cracks me up too. and i swear the lessons with melanie are always the strongest with the spirit! Then we taught Phil, the Strongs came with us which was awesome! We are just trying to get him and people acquainted with him better so he feels more welcome to stay for the hour of priesthood at church! He did tell us he was going to start paying his tithing!!!! Friday we pretty solid as well just a brick of a week i'd say!(: haha! We saw sister briggs, she is so funny!! We told her a little story about the plan of salvation she wasn't clear on the fact that everyone will be resurrected and get their bodies again she was so excited when we told her haha! she was like that has been eating me up for days! she said i was thinking of all the things i would miss, my mom's cooking ooh and kissing!! hahahaha(: she is so cute(: We also volunteered at good sam's with the old folks, it was a "where in the world" party! i love it when old people get competitive!(: haha! we had dinner with the cahoons and they are getting their mission call this week!!! we took some elk meat to cheryl and the young couple we taught! They were both so thankful! we also found a house with christmas lights that go to the music on a radio station!! haha!! it was awesome!!(: Saturday was a stressful day for some reason, nothing was going right, we did get to help load some cows though(: We also wrote up a family mission plan and gave the people of Raymond a missionary purpose!! haha! we ate dinner with the oakes family, some organic chicken, and went to the first session of stake conference smelling like chicken! haha it was STRONG!!(: the meeting was good though! a lot about missionary work(:Sunday we only had church for 2 hours!!!! we have not had that....ever! haha(: i wish we could go and meet new people every sunday though! we ended up picking up a new investigator!! soooo proof of why our saturday was rough!(: haha! we also met a newly wed couple who moved to raymond a few months ago into our ward that is struggling the most and they are very missionary minded and came with us to teach a lesson that night we met them! oh i am so excited!! so many miracles such a good week!!!
