Monday!
So today we spent
majority of the day making knives out of old files and deer antler!! That was
freaking cool!! I mean I'm basically a
knife making master now!! So that was
freaking sweet!! Then after that we went
and visited one of the older members of the ward. We normally go over every Saturday and stack
wood for him buuuuuuuuut his sheds roof collapsed so that's not happening
anytime soon 😅 but we still
go over to visit him because he's a cool guy 😅
Tuesday!
So today we helped
our ward mission leader with some service at his place. We moved a bunch of wood planks that he uses
for his outdoor hockey rink... yes... our ward mission leader has a legit hockey
rink outside his house... it's freaking nuts!! But we were doing it and the planks like
absorbed a ton of water so these things were heavy!! But as of late the snow has been melting a
whole ton!! Like there isn't hardly any
snow anywhere anymore. So because of
this the ice is melting also!! So we're
walking on this ice moving these heavy boards and I step over a board and I go
to pick it up and my foot busts through the ice 😂
it went like almost to my knee and it was the coldest water ever 😖
Wednesday!
So today our dinner
had to pick up her daughter or something from Kalispell so she dropped it off
to us which was totally fine. We decided
that instead of just eating at our apartment that we would take advantage of
the beautiful area we are in and so we had a bit of a picnic out on the side of
Flathead Lake!! It was super fun and we
started goofing off with the ice after we ate. Then we had a lesson with one of our
investigators and we taught the articles of faith... also we taught chastity 😂 which was a blast!! Spirit was strong!! After the lesson we talked about how we wanted
to fast with him so we told him that we would start Saturday so we will see how
that goes!! We also told him that we
would help him shingle his roof on Saturday!! So we will see what happens there.
Thursday!!
Today we had to
cancel a few lessons because we had our zone conference and that required us to
wake up a bit earlier than the norm to be able to make the drive into Missoula
on time... we were still a bit late 😅
but hey all’s well that ends well right?? We received a lot of training on how to become
better teachers with those we teach and it was really awesome because that's
what we're working on with our ward mission leader!! He's always challenging us to be better
teachers, so both just fit hand in hand. After that we made the trip back and we didn't
have a dinner so we just ate at our place and decided to go out exploring for a
little while!! We found this spot in the
river we're the water is moving suuuuuuper quick and super high powered... so
what do two teenage boys do with a river moving at high rates of speed?? We throw random crap into it!! 😂😂 so that was fun!!
Friday!!
Today we had a
lesson with some of our other investigators and we taught the articles of faith
again and I love teaching this couple because she always comes with questions
that she needs answered and we do our best to answer them and she asks us
questions throughout the whole thing and the spirit is really able to teach her
when she asks questions!! She's a bit
worried she's not ready to be baptized as far as knowing about the church is
concerned. She knows that it's true she
just doesn't feel like she knows enough. So we're trying to help her with that through
teaching.
Saturday!!
We went over to our
investigators (Nate) house and helped him shingle his roof!! Man it was a blast
from the past!! I felt like I was back home working construction 😂 good times!! We helped him for a good majority of the day. We had a few things lined up for the rest of
the day but they kept getting cancelled soooo we figured it just meant that we
needed to be there helping him out. We
did that until about 6 that night. As we
were leaving we talked to him a bit more about starting a fast. We explained that we normally start a fast
with a prayer and we ask for questions to be answered and whatnot. We then asked him what he's fasting for and he
tells us that he already knows that it's true. He said that he's going to fast for his family.
Spirit immediately filled the room and
it was so awesome!! So we kicked off the
fast and headed out. We didn't have much
planned since we didn't have a dinner soooo we used our dinner hour and the opportunity
of being in service clothes to go on a short little hike to this cliff!! So we got up and took some pictures (including
a name tag picture just for you mom 😘)
anyway after that we got home and cleaned ourselves up and got out to working
again!!
Sunday!
So for some reason
this fast was way harder than before 😅
I was starving the whole time 😅 oh well
though!! No worries!! So church was super awesome!! One of our investigators wasn't able to make
it but the others were!! We had some good
lessons and after church there was a baptism for an 8 year old in the ward and
we were able to take our investigators to it so they could see a baptism and it
was super awesome because I was watching one of them and when the boy went
under and came back up she was just smiling and it was so awesome :) apparently
she gave him a flower after which is so awesome!! Then after it was all over we were talking to
our other investigator and as he was leaving I just knew that he and his family
were going to make it to the temple!! I
could just feel it and I could see them there!! It was awesome!!
Then we went home,
broke our fast, had a quick snack and then went over to our ward mission leader’s
house and we talked a bit and met his grandsons and man they were wild!! One of them was putting us in like choke holds
and all this stuff and he's like 5!! It
was crazy!! But it was kinda funny too 😂 the other grandson was freaking smart!! We were giving him tons of math problems and
he was getting them right every time and just begging for more!!
After we did that
we went and got changed out of our suits and into something not quite as formal
😅 gotta keep the suit lookin fresh 😂 anyway we went and tried contacting a person we
talked about with our Ward Mission Leader and it turns out he moved
#storyofmylife then we went and talked to a less active member who wants to
baptize his daughter. So we talked about
the Book of Mormon and some evidences of it nowadays. Then we went to our dinner appointment and man
this couple is funny!! First off this
guy has the sickest beard hair combo I've ever seen!! His wife kept joking about how he's a Viking
and he literally is!! But we had this
super good chicken!! Like it was way good!!
But we talked to them for a good while
then we shared a quick message and took off!! Then we did our normal thing!!
