Hi Mom!
This week was epic. Nothing reallly bad happened but so the lows were just funny instances. On tuesday was the biggest miracle. On monday we got a call for a referal. On Tuesday (i was on an exchange in the Chancellorsville area) the referal family called and elder Ayala and the other elder went over there. It was amazing what happened. They were taught lesson 1 (the restoration) and loved it and agreed with everything. At the end the Husband (matt) asked what the purpose of life was. So they proceeded to teach lesson 2 (the plan of salvation) and they loved that as well. They are a newly married young couple and his friend who talks with him about the church mentioned the Sealing ordinance and when they talked about it during the first lesson they grabbed each others hands and were looked at each other and said "doesnt that sound amazing honey". Ya it was incredible Elder Ayala said the spirit was so incredibly strong. But anyways they agreed with and said everything made so much sense. So they were Athiest their whole lives they said before that lesson and now they have a huge belief in God. Then we taught them on Friday and they even fed us a LEGIT Italian dinner. But not as good as Mrs Langones hahaha. But it was still way good. Then we taught them lesson 3 (the gospel of jesus christ) and watched "The Lamb of God" with them. Matt said his first prayer he has ever said in whole life and it was such a great prayer and his wife (jessica) was so proud of him. They are so prepared it is rediculous. They told us the day before they met us they decided to quit smoking and havent since. They have a 6 month year old baby named nathan. He was born prematurley and they said that because he already has health restriction they thought it was just best to stop smoking. And they are married. So we put them on date for August 12th after church to be baptized but nathan was sick yesterday and they were not able to come to church so it got pushed back a week but they are so excited and this is just such an awesome situation we are so exctited for them!!!!!
So other than that just a lot of funny stuff happened. When we wen to help Brother Haught this week at his house we spent 2 hours cutting down a tree and that was fun lol. Then after that we went to lunch at Chick Fil A and just guess what day it was. Yep, it was gay kiss day at chick fil a. So ya, us 4 sweaty guys walk in and everyone was staring at us and a member was there and she walked up to us and was like are you guys here to kiss? we were like WHAT? she told us the story and we were like O NO!! hahahaha. So thats what you get for not watching the news and it was just a really funny situation. I thought it was really funny but Elder Ayala not so much hahaha. But the food was good lol.
Also as i was cutting my hair the sizer popped off and i put a big shaved spot in the back of my head so i couldnt help but laugh at that. Luckily my hair grows fast so it isnt as bad as it was earlier in the week hahaha but i took a picture of it cuz i have to admit it is funny. I just tell people "thats what happens when you sneeze and are in the middle of cutting your hair" hahaha. We helped Mrs Kelsey some more and shes always a blast. She got us all bottled IBC root beer as a special treat after we were done so that was pretty fun. Then We say Wayne Paffinbavger again. He said the freaking funniest thing to Elder Ayala. He asked him if his name was spanish and he said ya and then he asked him if he was a citizen. It was so funny! I started laughing really hard and Elder Ayala was like "ya why?" and Wayne was just like "o well you can never be to sure" hahahaha i was dying after that. But thats what you get when you be teachin them rednecks lol.
Love ya miss ya!
Love Elder Powell
