Now I'll start with the least exciting then end with the best part of the week! So first! As many of you may or may not know is our family there is Sundaes on Ash Wednesday! and this week being ash wednesday and my companions first name being Ash it was only natural for her to buy us all sundaes! the picture for that lovely event I will send!
Next! while knocking a man answered the door and I said oh my heavens bevens this guys is Dick Clarks twin! he shut us down real quick... so looks like He did not have a rockin new years eve after all!
Also I recieved a fantastic package in the mail this week! I dont know who it was from but they know me very well! y'all should be jealous cause this girl got some purple stuff in the mail! It was kinda embarrassing I may have cried with excitement!
NEXT! Before I tell you the next one there is a background story. So I have been trying to be as lady like as possible on my mission and that includes the elders opening my doors and when they do I curtsy at them cause thats was a lady would do... anyway its very hard to try to train Elders to be gentleman sometimes... But luckily this week was Stake conference and it was a broadcast from SLC and Elder. Scott talked all about how boys should be gentleman and women should be more lady like! needless to say I haven't had to open a door since when Im around the elders!
But wait the week still got better! So we are teaching this sweet old German lady named Margret, Oh boy she is a hoot! she has a super thick German accent that just makes my day every time we go and see her. This week when we went to visit her she tried to teach us German... oh boy that did not work... we were sitting there trying to say the same word for like 15 minutes and I still dont know what it is suppose to sound like... Anyway she has never been able to fully join a church because she has always had one question that no one could answer.. Who Cain married... Luckily for her us LDS peeps have the true religion and the answer! thank you Pearl of Great Price! amirite!
Also this week Renee finally got baptized! It has been the most stressful few weeks cause we never know if she will be home that saturday or not cause she had deaths in the family but it finally happened! Of it was amazing! she was so open and willing to learn and to follow Christ its amazing!
Also Kurt! He really is the more legit person I have ever met or taught! So he was a trucker before and ya know truckers say thats a big 10-4 for a conformation. well he had accepted a bap date and everything but was still looking for that big conformation then someone shared with him Moroni 10:4 and he said be for he ever looked at it he know it would give him the answer he needed... and it did! He just keeps getting more and more legit everytime. We had dinner with him and the bishop last night and he just asked the bishop he was like so I know I dont get baptized till next week but I would really like to set some volunteer stuff up with you right now so I can be helping the church out in anyway before im a member... did he just ask for a calling? I think so!
Anyway needless to say this week really has been full of blessings! I really have seen that the blessing come after the trial of your faith. That is probably the biggest lesson I have learned on my mission so far. Thanks again for all y'all support! love ya!
