Mom, congrats on school! that is so exciting!

your going to Seattle? :'( I will be there in spirit

It feels like sometimes that the houses in Post Falls are reserved for the people of the ward. haha.

Divorce is seriously the work of Lucifer. Families are the strongest thing in the gospel, and he is really working to destroy the family.

 

Dad, Crossing my fingers on the  job interviews!

 

Gavin, I haven't received a letter in so long! where are you?

 

So, this week has been kind of a slow week for teaching. Tuesday we taught an investigator, and we brought a member with us! that was a great experience for her because it was her first time in a lesson with missionaries. we taught the first lesson, but it was a little crazy because she brought her kid under 2 with her, and played with our investigators (Esther) kids. It was a little distracting, but we got through it. We are teaching her on Tuesday again, along with the same member. But we are challenging her for baptism, so cross your fingers and hope it goes well!

afterwords we had to go home because I was a little sick. (dad this answers your question). So we didn't get anything else done that day. haha.

We did teach another one of our investigators DeRie. and she is so awesome! We taught lesson 3, and emphasized on baptism and how important it is. at the end, we challenged her for baptism for the 3rd time, and she said she is still thinking about it! UGH! driving me crazy! she still won't accept baptism! It is a little frustrating, but we are going to try and help her get through this and set her on date this Friday (hopefully). It is happening! Cross your fingers on that one! we could potentially set 2 people on date this week .

So we had a mission tour on Saturday with Elder Lawrence of the 70 come up. I was super excited, because last mission tour with Elder Corbrage was amazing. Sister Lawrence ended up talking about the 12 tribes of Israel, and how everyone is connected. It was really cool. Then Elder Lawrence got up and to sum up of what he said is Your all terrible missionaries and you should be more obedient. It was more of a chastizement for an hour and a half, then a talk. He went on to say that P-days are for preparing to teach people the next week, and not to go out and have a good time. Basically he said to not have anything fun. haha. With elder Corbrage, what he talked about, we could apply of what he said into our teachings and our studies in order to become a better teacher. But with this mission tour, it was just a huge chastizement then anything else. It was really disappointing.

 

Well, thats it for the week!!!

 

I love you all!!
