HE PUTS THEM IN YOUR PATH!

Hi mom!

This week definitley had more stuff going on than last hahaha. On monday we saw Chris. His uncle got in a huge accident a coulple months ago and is recovering at Chris' place. So while were there i was talking with chris while Ravia was talking with his uncle and it was a good time. We really got to know both of them and it was way awesome. Then on tuesday we had our normal district meetings and we had a lesson with Mrs Kelsey. She had a lot of questions about native americans being in america (the lamanites) and also about polygamy. So that was an interesting lesson hahaha. But as soon as i walked in i was like "mrs kelsey can i have a glass of water?" and she was like "i knew you would ask that so i already have a pitcher of lemonade prepared with cups" She is sooooo awesome we all just love her so much! Wedensday was really fun as well. We got a call from president Riggs saying he would be at our appartmnet at 6. He wanted to come on splits with us so that was way fun. He took the piedmont elders and us to Ihop so that was way legit. Then all our appointments canceled so we visited members with him. There is this question that he wants us to ask a lot of the members in our wards so he drove us around asking diffrent members. Thrusday was fun. Service again at the greenhouse while it was raining so bad! hahaha then later that night we had 2 dinners for like the 4th time in 2 weeks hahaa. The 2nd was with this bf and gf that moved into our appartmnets. They are investigators of piedmonts but we all helped them move in so they had us over for pizza that night. Its funny our ward only feeds us like 3 times a week. but recentley the nights we have dinner afterwards investigators are like have you eaten????? here's dinner if yo want some! as they give us a huge plate. A) i have a islander as a companion so you know he will always eat the food. B) this forces me to because i cant say no and look rude so ya its been really fun with elder ravia hahaha but whos complaining. not me. On Friday we were able to do more service for Mrs Kelsey and she gave me a ibc cream soda and the rest rootbeer and then she gave us all cup holders she got for us at the Outerbaks in North Carolina. She is so awesome!!!! 

Then we stopped by Zharia and told her mutual was at brother pullens on friday so she want and had a lot of fun. We were on our way home from Matt and Jessicas and Brother pullen called and was like "the girls are gone come eat!" So we a couple meatball subs and fruit salad and it was just way legit. Saturday we helped Brother Haught from the piedmont ward and thats always way fun. Hes like 92 and is just hysterical. His son has Crohns disease and he asked if i had it and i was like actually i do hahaha. So he was like "O MY GOSH" and wanted to learn more so i told him my history hahaha. But hes really nice and kind. Later we saw the craigheads. (Wiley and Mary). They are hysterical rednecks so thats always a fun visit.  Sunday was way awesome. So it was stake conference. Well when we were with pres Riggs we visited the palmers who helped us with taking Aarons family shopping. We told pres Riggs and he announced it at Stake Conference because brother palmers little kids Andrew and Brian came with him so he could have a companion and when they herd their names they were like were famous! and all the little kids from primary were like we herd your name! Brother Palmers mom lives in the Stafford ward and was their and wnt up tp president Riggs and was like thats my grandkids. Then sister Riggs mentioned in her talk about my nurse that got baptized and i was like to elder ravia "dude thats my nurse!" Right afterwards we had a lesson with a spanish man that Brother Palmer was going to translate for us. He drove us over there but the man was not home. As we were walking to the car this little girl and her mom walked by us and i just had this feeling to talk to them. So we did. We ended up teaching the first lesson with brother palmer. We are teaching her again at the Palmers tomorrow and the palmers are picking her up for church on sunday. It was crazy how amazing the spirit was in the lesson and everything is just perfect!!!!!!Then we proceeded to have lunch at the craigheads. A steak and a sandwhich lunch and went immediatley to dinner at another families house hahaha. But it was way fun. Then we saw chris again. We talked a lot again and it went really well. Then at 1230 last night he called to talk with me. He says he wants to be a mormon and be baptized but i told him there were some questions he had to asnwer and the serious crime part he admitted to some stuff that i dont know if he'll be able to be baptized. So its a hard situation that i didnt think we'd have to explain to some that they cannot be baptized. But we will contine to work hard. Brother plamer after the lesson was like "this is what happens when you go out and show the lord your willingness to work". And its so true. HE PUTS THEM IN YOUR PATH! Great week!!

 

Love ya!!
