Inspections are Never Fun but Wolves Aren't Either

Jan. 22nd 2018

Well this week me and another missionary thought we were getting attacked by a wolf, had inspections, had a second Christmas (basically), met some more relatives and saw miracle after miracle.

Alright so earlier in the week we found out we were having inspections and so we had to clean like it was going out of style.  We cleaned everything so much… it was crazy haha!  Truthfully it was definitely needed!  Anyway we thought we were having inspections on Wednesday... well on Wednesday we find out that they couldn’t do it on Wednesday so they pushed it back to Thursday. No biggie right? Well later Wednesday night a senior missionary up in Billings is like “hey I’ve got a washer and dryer with your name on it and want to drop it off tonight” so of course we were like “uh heck yeah!!!” It felt like a second Christmas getting a washer and dryer!! Haha!!  It was great buuuuuut those things have a lot of cardboard so we had to leave it in the apartment because we had some appointments to get to.  Anyway we get back later that night and are super tired, so we kind of leave it on the floor.  Then the next day we wake up and remember that we have inspections so we take all the cardboard and put it in a pile because we didn’t have time to take care of it because we had studies to do and all that stuff.  Anyway so we are waiting and I’m sitting there at about 11 and I’m like “I’m hungry” so I start making a cheese quesadilla because it’s quick easy and tastes good.  Well I cook it in a pan on the stove and like I kid you not when I finished they knock on the door!  Like I finished the quesadilla and then they knock so we answer and they start inspecting and like rip into us about the pan on the stove and the cardboard... so needless to say I was pretty upset with it all because I’m 100% sure that if they would have come on Wednesday when they said, there wouldn’t have been all of that for them to talk about. But it’s all good. 

So enough about that haha!  This week has been really awesome!!  At our district meeting we got some ideas for one of our potential investigators that we help with a lot of service and he pays us (don’t like that) anyway we talked about him and all that and got some really good ideas for what we could do to help him progress and want to learn more.  So our whole goal on Thursday when we helped him was to talk about the gospel whenever we could and not get paid for it.  So we go in and instantly start talking about church and we find out where he goes and ask him if he’s interested in going to ours!  Haha we spent like the whole time talking about the gospel and service and stuff it was sweet.  Then at the end he goes to pay us and I was like nah dude and told him about what we are as missionaries and how we are called to serve and how the best way to pay us was to go to church and hear the message we have to share and he said that he would talk to his friend in the church and see if he can’t go with him.  It was a super awesome miracle!!

Then on like Thursday night I went with one of our ZLs to a lesson and we get there and it’s dark. Probably around like 7 so we get there say a quick prayer and then we are going to get out and the missionary I’m with is like “oh yeah just so you know they have had a wolf on their property as of late so be careful” so I joke with him that he’s going to open his door and get mauled or something.  So he opens the door and that doesn’t happen but as he’s walking up to the door I’m organizing my backpack and look over and this huge mass is running towards Elder Loehr (lore) and I’m like, “well he’s dead, and this is going to make the most awkward phone call to President”.  Then we both realize it’s just a dog haha!!!  We both almost had a heart attack!!  It was really funny!!  

Then the ZLs lost their keys (it was in elder Wright’s pocket lol) so we were their chauffeurs when they needed it (haha) it was all good.  We also had a contest with them to who could find the most new investigators this month and we totally won!!  So that was pretty cool!!  Then on Sunday we had some technical difficulties and the mic wasn’t working so they taped a chorded mic to the normal mic so that was entertaining haha!

Anyway that was my week! Love y’all!!

Love,
