Crazy Who You Run Into on Your Mission

So just so everyone knows, bucking hay is hardcore!! Last Monday we bucked hay for like 5 hours and it was pretty fun but towards the end it was pretty exhausting.  It was all good because it felt good and it was some real hard work!!  Then after dinner a member asked us to move a hot tub... jeez that thing was heavy!!  Probably like 1200 pounds easy.  But we got it moved!!  So that's awesome!!  

Then on Tuesday we helped a member with some service up in Missoula.  We helped him with some stuff at the bishop store house there.  It was pretty fun and we had some fun hanging out with the missionaries up there. After that we had a lesson with Justin and he's getting closer and closer to baptism it's awesome!!  I'm so excited for him!!  Then we had a lesson with Jim; and this guy is pretty interesting.  He knows without a shadow of a doubt that the Book of Mormon is true... but he doesn't know how Joseph smith got it... so we have a conversation with him about it.  Or more like Skouson has a conversation with him because they use a lot of big words that I have no clue what they mean... so I try and learn from them haha but it's cool to see them talk and I add things when I can.  

Then on Wednesday we had our district meeting and this guy gave us a personality test and holy crap I got pegged so bad it was hilarious!!  HahaJ I also learned the original thirteen colonies in order so that's cool!!  Then we went weed-eating again and destroyed some weeds so that was an absolute blast!!  After we went to this members house who gives us root beer floats if we can remember the names of all the animals he's killed... so I did!!  And they had the cutest puppy!!  Like it was so awesome!!  Then we went to dinner with the Golds and talked with them for a good while and I freaking love them they are sooooo cool!!  Then I got a random email from my dad with pictures in my area!!!  What the heck!?! Haha! it was so awesome!!  So I had to take a picture doing the same thing he was and so that was cool!!


Then the next day our ward mission leader gave a really cool lesson on creating fertile soil and how sometimes we don't plant those seeds but we create that fertile soul for people and I thought that was the coolest thought!!  It was so cool because it's so true!!  Sometimes we don't plant seeds, or even harvest the fruits of our labors but we can always create fertile soul for when those seeds are planted they can grow and flourish.  We just have to act like Christ and always show who we are and what we stand for.  He said something in his lesson I thought was really cool.  He said, " Every action we take is a missionary moment" so I really liked that because everything we do has potential to be a missionary moment.  And then what made the day that much cooler was out of nowhere my old math teacher from high school walks into the church!?!  How cool is that!?!  So naturally I had to take a picture with him.  Then we had a super cool lesson with the Golds and taught the gospel of Jesus Christ and they are just sooooo awesome!!  

Today we have basically been hanging out with some really awesome members and we went to help them move a piano.  Super great times!!  Anyway talk to you next week!!!
