Well this has been a
very good week! I have learned a lot!!
Good ole W. is doing
great! I met W. my very first day. Well I love W. so much and it has been
amazing to see the change in him from when I met him 2ish weeks ago! He is reading and praying and is excited to
meet with us. We taught him the word of wisdom this week- which is so
hard because tea is who they are (really i had someone tell me that ;) at first
he wasn't really willing. he said he wouldn't smoke anymore and he would
just drink a little bit and that he couldn't give up tea. We kept
testifying to him and teaching him and by the end of the lesson he said he
would do it!! WAHOO!!! he also said a beautiful prayer at the end of the lesson
asking for help- and for W. to ask for help from God is a BIG CHANGE!! so it
was great!!
We had stake
conference yesterday- it took like 2 1/2 hours to get there because the metro
was down and we had so many bus problems, but it was really good and we got 3
investigators out there! Which is huge because Sunderland is far away and for
them to come that early was really great!!!!!!!!!!
We played the best
prank on our district leader :) when the other sisters were following up sister
R. and I were ''yelling'' at each other in the background- and sister I. was
like oh no here they go again and they kept doing there follow up. so when they
passed the phone it was just me and I was telling Elder E. how sister R. was on
my last nerve and how I couldn't handle it any more (the whole time R. and the
other sisters were in the room listening) and sis R. comes in and we were
yelling at each other and we hung up the phone. he called right back and
sister S. answered and said sis R. just punched sis monroe and blood is
everywhere. he totally bought it and he was kind of freaking out- I was
pretending to cry and sis R. was pretending to be so mad. and then he told the
other sisters to get us seperated and he was going to call the zone leaders
(they live pretty close to us) and we all got silent and started to bust up
laughing. It was a great prank because E. freaked out :) but please tell Spence
to send some prank ideas my way!! haha
I went on exchange
this week with Sister I., it was great to get out with her and I learned a lot.
we also had a lot of fun and cranked it
hard!
We went to dinner as a
district this week (that is Sis R., S., I. and Elder E. and H.) anytime the
whole district gets standards of excellence the Elder's ward mission leader
takes the district out to a nice dinner. I don't know why he did it
though because only 2 teams got it- I guess he just wanted to meet us. we
went to a place called Tony Carvery and it was so SO good!!!!!!!!! He goes to
utah every month for business and he knows exactly where spanish fork is- he
said he works a lot in provo. he was one of the nicest people ever.
that's so sad to hear
about sis p.'s husband! she is so sweet!!!
The kids are almost
done with school, YAY! what adventures do you have planned?? besides baseball
games?? so occasionally people wear yankee hats
