Well!
I forced a lesson on Wyatt (10 yr old) because his mom was getting in
the tub, we had fellowship and our STL there, and I was going to have a
lesson!! He stopped the video game that he was absorbed in (looked
familiar..) and taught him and 3 of his friends about prophets. We left
smelling like smoke for the rest of the day but I was satisfied :)
So our STL (sister training leader) ,Sister Hawes, came on a very
good day. We were busy busy busy with 5 lessons and a dinner that made
me check the date because I could have sworn it was Thanksgiving
dinner.
We had a Companion study with our District leader
and another elder which was super fun and.. surprising. Sister Allen and
I role played a lesson we were going to have that night with Brother
Trujillo on the Law of Chastity. The spirit was for sure helping us and I
can't believe we got through the whole thing the way we did. We had
never taught it together and we were super nervous to teach Elders about
it... Haha but we were all pretty shocked at how well it went! The
lesson it's self went different but still pretty good :) he's golden but
not.. We set up an interview with the President to see what he will
have to do to be baptized. Exciting stuff!
Ian is getting baptized this week! Woooooo! Finally!
We're really excited and hope that everything goes well with it as well
as the surgery he will have next week.
Bianca
is doing well but I'm pretty out of the loop because of my lack of
Spanish skills... Haha but we are finding what we need to focus on and
such. She came with us to the Zone Leader's baptism which was great! I
think she felt the spirit :) we're excited! She is adorable and her
cousin is enjoying the lessons too. We're working on helping them get
back to the temple as well.
We went to the Family History Center with Brother
Graham for like 2-3 hours.. I thought my brain was going to explode! He
has TONS of work to do and that stuff is mind-boggling. I was impressed
with the little lady helping us and her reasoning for certain things. We
were able to find some of his aunts and uncles and hopefully can do the
work for them soon! We also had FHE with him at the Whiteside's home
and it was super fun :) he talked about taking care of the physical
heart and then we talked about taking care of the spiritual heart. We
had lots of fun with everyone and they did too! Brother Graham has some
YouTube videos on his surgery stuff if you're interested in seeing that
and hearing him talk haha unfortunately, I don't know what it's called.
We had Elder Stevenson (A senior missionary that
works at the cannery) take us out to dinner and it was so fun! He was
super cute and was like, "I have permission from President Hiers that I
can take you out!" Imagine it in a cute old man voice :)
It's official.. I survived daylight savings. It was a
killer though. We may or may not have crashed during lunch on Sunday
haha but afterwards we felt much better!
Well that's all I
can really think of! We just took a major crazy hike up a mountain with
no trail with some Elders. Of course it was their idea... Haha it was
intense and my legs are screaming at me but it was super fun. It was a
little snowy but not too freezing... Probably because it was a work our
for all of us haha!
Hope y'all have a great week! Love ya so much!
