We were in HEAVEN!!

Hi Mom,

Man this week was fun. Nothing really interesting happened, no angel appeared in a lesson, and i didnt get a gun pulled on me like my crazy sister, BUT this week was still way fun.

Elder Ayala and i just find all the really fun things to do for missionary work. Like the whole RHS (Random House Searching)where you get your self lost and just tract the nearest house and its pretty fun. The first house we did that at the lady was cooking out so we could smell alll the food and that ,made us really hungry but what she said was really funny. She was holding a beer and she asked if mormons drink and when we said no she raised the beer and said "SOUTHERN BAPTIST FOR LIFE" and we just laughed. We have been helping Chris out a lot. He just got released from the hospital and so we visit him at his house like every other day. He making big steps. He is quiting all his bad habbits and we told him to just call us when he feels the urges to drink or smoke so he does and we talk for a while. He is waiting on something and he said that if it happens that he will get baptized so we are just trying to help him out. He loves the Book Of Mormon. He finds it confusing though so we always explain a lot of stuff but he still loves it. We told him that when it says "Behold" its like "check it out" and when its "yea" it means like "look" so when he reads he says all that and its another one of those fun things you can do to make reading the scriptures more fun. Chris is so awesome so we love spending time with him.

Unfortunately, Aaron and Zharia both fell off date but its all good :) we have an appointment with Aaron today so were gonna see whats going on there. We met with Zharia a lot but she hasent been coming to church so thats why she fell off. There is this awesome part member family named the Craigheads that we saw on saturday. They love the missionaries and the husband Wiley is not a member and is really stubborn during the lessons but he is hysterical and we love them both so much. When Elder Ayala told him his name, Wiley was like :your part of the Talibon and we were like what? and he was like the Talibon you know where the war is going on and we were like o you mean Taliban and he was like ya the Talibon and we were just laughing but they call elder Ayala ole yeller hahaha. They struggle with pernouncing his name hahaha. We had an awesome dinner at there house. they made us both our own huge rib eye steak and then grilled squash and boiled potatoes from their garden. We were in HEAVEN it was so delicous hahaha. SO i took a pic of the meal hahaha. We have a zone conference this week so we are all excited to hear more from Pres Riggs, He is hysterical. He cracks a ton of jokes and is just way down to earth. So were just loving the mish right now!  love you lots mom!

Love Elder Powell
