It has been a grandspacular week!!!!! We have had some more crazy adventures! Monday after emails we just went back to the Royers and we played games and played with the baby goats... and then later that night we just did some weekly planning!
Tuesday was a really great day!! We had a lesson with Linda, Arnez and Tom which went really well! We read the Living Christ (well the first half) and had a really good discussion about the Atonement! Then we had lunch and then we went to Melanie's and we helped her move some furniture and then we made necklaces and bracelets! Then we went and we saw a less active and found out that his wife is also a member we just didn't have her records! So that was pretty exciting! We shared a scripture with him and he said we could come back! Then we were in the car and we were trying to figure out what we should do next... We had a bunch of people that we had thought about seeing but we just weren't sure where to go next... so we pulled over and decided to pray about it! I said the prayer and then we sat there for a minute trying to figure out what to do... and then it popped in my head... "the smiths!!!" and so sister huefner turned to me and said..."what do you think?" and i said... "well the smiths just popped into my head...." and she said "that's what came to my head too!!!" :O "oh my goodness guess we're going to the smiths!" I can't remember if i've told you about the smiths or not... they are potential investigators..maybe formers...i can't remember now... but either way... they've got potential! and we were trying to help them with family history and we had sent some of their info to brother shuck who does four hours of free family history research! but they didn't have enough info for him to find much... so we were going back to see if they had found any new stuff... so when we both had the same idea then we prayed to know if we should go right then or later that night! and then we decided it was time to go! so we headed over there and when we pulled in...there was no car. :( no one was home! so we were a little disappointed but glad that we listened to the spirit and did what we felt was right... so then we just went and tried to see some members down the street...they weren't home either! so we tried a different potential and they didn't look home either... so we were headed back home for dinner and decided to stop by the smiths again on the way back... and guess what! they were there!! :D so we went in and they said they remembered another name! and so we wrote down her grandparents names and we were just trying to help them think of any other way they could find dates and names and then the dad walks out with a picture asking if it will fit in an envelope and then we said wait!! what is that?!?!? and it was a picture of a headstone of one of their grandparents so it had all the names and dates that we needed! so now hopefully we can send that info back and help them more with their family history :) so that was pretty awesome!!! Then we stopped by Dwayne and Katie's and they were sick but hopefully we'll be able to meet with them soon and make them new investigators!
Wednesday was district meeting in Augusta! It was all about family history work and we played dip dip dip for our lesson activity and that was pretty funny! Then we came back and we read the Book of Mormon with Sister Russell and then we went and saw Sister Gove! We also hadmormon.org time! Then we were supposed to have BOM class but no one came... so we ended up just having a long coordination meeting with the elders!
Thursday we had a lesson with Linda and Arnez and we finished up reading the Living Christ! Then we had a quick lunch and then went to the food pantry! That was a lot of fun again!! they were all so excited that we were back! :) After a few hours there we went to the church and made some copies and practiced our piano duet :) and had dinner!
Friday we went to the Kanewskes and we started helping her organize her food storage! and then we had to pause that because the dogs were barking so we went upstairs to go see what was going on and found out that there was a fox that had got one of their chickens!!! So then we were counting all the chickens and trying to make sure everyone else was okay! oh and we wrote a song.. sing to the tune of "Count Your Blessings" here it is... "count your chickens it is so much fun, count your chickens while around they run, count your chickens, name them one by one, count your many chickens so the fox has none!" :) haha so that's what we did for the first half of the day! Then we went over to the Royers for a little bit and then did our weekly planning!
Saturday we had a lesson with Linda, Arnez and Tom and the Duffy's came too! We read the family proclamation and had another great discussion! and then we went home changed our clothes and went over to the Royers to help them with all the animals!! We got to shear a sheep! :D that was fun :) and then we ending up taking selfies with all the animals :) haha and then we got to help clean the stall!!! woohoo! :) then we ate pizza and then went home and did more planning! :)
Sunday we went to branch council and then had church! I got to go to primary again and played the piano while sister huefner went to relief society! then we went to the McInnis' for lunch and then we went and saw Sister Andersen a less active who was close by and that ended up being really good! She is just this cute little old lady! my favorite!! Her son has cancer and he had just gone to the hospital and she just needed someone to talk to and cry to! So we got to spend some time with her and she told us that she wants to go back to the temple!! We're going back on thursday to help her sort through old clothes and clean so that will be good and then hopefully we can help her get back on track so she can get to the temple!! :) after that we went to the royers and talked with them and then came home and had dinner!
So there you have it! another great week and fun on the farm!! :) oh yeah and it was my halfway mark this week! what the?!?!? that was crazy :) I cannot believe it!!!! SO WEIRD! haha well I hope you all have a great week!! LOVE YOU LOTS!!!
