Can't think of a cool Title because I'm Hungry

And so my judgment is a little cloudy. Sorry(:

Monday:  We went to Cardston for p-day to see all the

 new missionaries that got transferred into our zone last

 week. We played lots of basketball and there's this one 

elder that is massive, and terribly horrifying to guard. So,

 I picked the smaller 15-year-old that some of the elders
 invited. (: 

We had supper at the Tatlow's, Mamma J's, and they'r just

 a hilarious family. I love them. 

We then went to the Wannop's and had FHE with Alex and

 Aaliyah. They got baptized a few months ago and we have 

FHE with them and their dad every week. This time, we did an

 object lesson on prophets where we hide something and 

then the "prophet" (my companion) is guided by "Heavenly

 Father" (me) to tell one of the kids where to find the hidden 

object. It's kind of like Hot 'n' Cold. Anyways. We did that 

and it was super fun, they're cute kids and have such a love

 for the gospel. 

Then we visited the Boogemans. They have four little boys

 that are super adorable, and we did an object lesson with

 them, too. We did what we call the Nail Game, where we 

use 10 nails representing the 10 commandments and balance them on one nail head with 2 other nails

 representing Christ and Heavenly Father, supporting us to help us keep their commandments. 

Tuesday: It poured. Like, buckets. After District Meeting, we were heading to stop by some people, and
 a lady in our ward walks out and says, "Sisters, you'd better head home and get your car or something
 because it's about to hail and pour for the rest of the day." So we started heading back to our house to
 grab our car and another member who isn't in our ward offered us a ride. The second she pulled into our
 driveway and let us out, the rain came down hard. So, the Lord was really watching over us.(: 

We had a couple lessons with some less-actives and this one lady we visited would not look at us when
 we spoke to her, it was so strange. We figured maybe we'd offended her somehow, so we asked our Ward
Mission Leader later and he said, "No, she's just weird." Hahaha so there you have it!

We drove around heart attacking the rest of our bishops, and one bishop's dog tried to eat us. That
was fun. 

We had supper with the Andrews. We call Sister Andrews, Nana, cuz she's definitely a Nana. They're
 awesome.
 Always taking such great care of us(: 

We then stopped by a member whose son is in YSA and set up a time to come back and have a lesson and
 invite their son to an upcoming YSA activity that we know about. 

Wednesday: I was really sick in the morning, so my

 companion went with the other sisters for the morning,

 and I stayed at a member's house with Sister Steed,

 whom we used to live with, and rested. So that was

 boring. But then I was feeling better, so we went out

 and did work! We went and had a lesson with Linda at

 Good Sam's, and then we went and helped served food

 at a funeral. We had supper with the Boyes', who are 

newly weds and we talked all about our missions and

made fun of the District(: Look it up if you don't know 

what that is. 

We then had a lesson with Tracy and her kids, our

 investigators. We taught and testified of the Book

 of Mormon, and how by reading and praying, she

an gain a testimony of it, and Joseph Smith as a prophet.

 And once she has that testimony, she can gain a
 testimony

 of the Word of Wisdom and have that drive and desire to 

stop drinking coffee. You guys, the Spirit was so strong.

 Sister Nickle, who came to our lesson, bore such strong

 testimony of the blessings of the gospel in her life, and it was so amazing. Ah. The Church is true. 

Thursday: We did a lot of service, helping 

the Nickles paint for their renovations. They

 fed us Costco

 hot dogs for lunch(: We then had a lesson

 with a member family and invited them to

 do a family 

mission plan. After our lessons and service,

 we went back home and weekly planned. 

We were 

supposed to do that in the morning, but

 service happened. So we planned for the

 next week, and

 then had supper with the Boehmes. They

 have four little kids and she's black and he's white, so their 

children are gorgeous little mixed babies. I want some. Anywho. They're super fun. After supper, we 

went to Scriptures with Friends and read the story of Enos and talked a lot about prayer. We had the 

kids discuss times they've prayed and received an answer or felt the Spirit and the blessings it brought 

them. It was really neat to see these youth apply that principal of the gospel to their lives. 

Friday: We had a lesson with Sister Kindt.

 She went to the temple once in '83, and

 hasn't been back since. Her husband is 

inactive and she thinks she can't go back 

without him. So after reading our chapter o

f the Book of Mormon with her, we talked

 about returning to the temple. She cried. 

It's something she wants so bad, and so we

 committed her to taking those steps to go 

back. It'll be so awesome for her to go back. 

She talks all the time about how it felt
 like Heaven. 

We went to Good Sam's and played games

 with the residents. Old people are hilarious.

 I love them. 

We then went to a member's house who had a referral for us, and we went to follow up and get some

 more information on the referral. This member literally talked to us for two hours. So that happened. 

By the time we left her house, it was time to go to supper, which was 1st ward's ward BBQ. It was really 

 neat to see everyone there and to see all the missionary work being done. We'd talked to quite a few

 people who had invited less active or non member friends of theirs, and quite a few of them came!

 Member missionary work, you guys(: Do it(: 

Saturday: We did a ton of service. We basically 

helped with a funeral all day. This lady passed

 away, and she'd had 12 children, and they'd all had

 a ton of kids, and so on and so forth. Long story short,

 basically the whole town was at this woman's funeral.

 And they had nothing but wonderful things to say

 about her and the influences she had had on their

 lives. It made me realize how much of an impact we

 have on those around us, even if we don't realize it.

 And especially towards the gospel. So many of her 

posterity are members of the church and get to have

 those blessings in their life. So that was a really
 neat experience. 

We had supper with the Laceys', our ward mission leader's

 family, and committed them to do a family mission plan, too. 

Then we went to that member's house whose son is a 

YSA and shared a message with him and invited him to

 the YSA activity next week! We hope he goes(:

Sunday: Was basically church until about 4:30. Tracy 

came with her kids, and her kids brought a friend! That was so neat(: I got to sit by her youngest boy

, Trevone, who's 5, and he's just adorable. It was neat to see how she wanted him to be quiet and

 respectful during the meeting, even though he's only 5. I know that reverence can be hard with kids, 

and that's just kind of how life goes. But I also know that the way we teach children in our homes
 about

 the importance of sacrament meeting has a great influence on them, even at such a young age.
Anyway.

 Off my rant. Tracy is awesome. We have so many people come up to us on Sundays and say things 

like, "She's quite incredible! I had no idea she isn't a member!" And we're like, "Yet. Not a member
 YET." (; 

We then had a few more lessons with some members, committing them to family mission plans,

 and also correlated with the new Relief Society president in 10th ward. It's really neat to see the

 dedication in members here in doing the Lord's work and caring for His children. So neat. 

Anyways. It was a pretty good week. We met a lot of our goals, which was so great, and we're excited 

for the week to come! Love you all! Thanks for all your love and support(:
