This week was good!

Monday was a normal Pday, I got a fresh cut from a Barber in town. I might add that this was a classic hick barber joint.. like the ones you see in the Andy Griffith show. It was awesome.. Later that night we were tracting and knocked into this lady named Jenny. We stepped in and taught Jenny and her 3 kids the Restoration in the entry way. They were super awesome! We set up an appointment for later that week, but it fell through because her Mother in Law went into surgery.. She called us though to let us know she wouldn't be there though! Which never happens.. so were excited to stop by and try to get back in with that awesome young family. 

Tuesday was a long day of tracting, park contacting and visiting less actives in the country. It went well though, we were able to stop by and talk to some potentials we hadn't seen in a while and establish contact with them. It was good. In the Evening we went to Dustys Uke class again. That was fun, we were able to talk with more people from the community in a non threatening environment. It was fun. At the end of the day we decided to stop by Joseph Ivie and his girlfriend Jill. We stopped in at just the right time and we were able to talk with them for a while and then set up a time to teach them on Wednesday! Super exciting. 

Wednesday we helped out at the soup kitchen, then knocked some doors. While knocking we met a really awesome lady named Bunny. We gave her a Book of Mormon and she seemed really interested in reading it over the course of the next few weeks. We'll stop by her soon to see if shes really reading! We also met this nice old lady named Lola. We were able to testify about eternal families and that she would be able to see her husband again which brought her to tears. It was very sweet. Later, we saw Josh, then had dinner with Sister Bizeau and then finished off the day having that lesson with Jill and Joseph Ivie. The lesson went Great. We went over the Restoration, the spirit was super strong and Joseph, who has been less active for about 12 years (hes 30) was testifying of the Book of Mormon to his Girlfriend! He talked about how this is something that he really wants to get back into and that he could feel the spirit super strong, and he knows that meeting with us and teaching his gf and his two younger daughters will bless them soo much. He set up an appointment for next week and said to come hungry because hes going to feed us! It was awesome.. Cant wait to keep meeting with them. 

Thursday we were able to see Sherry with Brother DePaul. The lesson went well, we went over receiving revelation for General Conference and focused it on her finding her answer about if the Priesthood had been restored. She came to conference on Sunday so hopefully she got her answer!! All of our lessons the rest of the day feel through so we spent more time tracting and weekly planning!

Friday we had a lesson fall through in the morning and then we were able to go mow Sister Bizeau's lawn. It was nice getting out of Pros Clothes and doing some work with our hands.. Even though mowing isn't that tough. It was just a good change of pace. After having a lesson with Sister Kirchner, we spent the rest of the day visiting potentials and finding people. 

Saturday, before General Conference we made our rounds to a bunch of people inviting them to watch general conference. The conference was really good! We missed the First two talks of the first session because we were tinkering around with the satellite trying to get better reception.. We had a nice ice cream social before the Priesthood session and then made it back home almost fell right asleep being spiritually exhausted. 

Sunday we had Sherry at church with us watching the conference and then between the morning and afternoon session, the branch had a potluck. We had some less actives and an investigator there so the potluck was great for fellowshipping all of them! We finished off the day seeing Josh and then stopping in to see Captain Jim Jacobson. Hes sooo funny.. we love going over to Brother Jacobsons.. 

The week was really good! We weren't able to see the Gentz or Cindy this week but we have plans to see the Gentz tonight, we stopped by this week and they've all gotten over their illnesses! And we have an appointment with Cindy tomorrow! Good things are going on!

I miss and Love you all!
