Crazy week this week!! Okay but
first off, last week was SOO fun at Ryan's dam! Brother Bailey made
Dutch oven "horse apples" -aka amazing amazing appley, doughy, cinnamony,
yummy creation. We played pod ball and frisbee out on this beautiful
field thing, got attacked by bees,saw the dam and the falls and it was
just a blast!!
Also, the Whitneys were out of town
at a family reunion all week so we had the entire house(mansion) to
ourselves! Haha it was pretty crazy. But we're glad they're back and they
had a great time!!
So this week, we started a new
exercise thing! Every other day, our district meets at the church and
does an exercise program together! Sister Moyer wants to be a physical
trainer so she has a bunch of programs she's lined up so we do
those. It's great! We're all a little
sore but loving it!! And the days we
don't have that, sister Adair and I drive to the hills by the house
and I get to run there twice a week. It's been an amazing week!! Gosh,
exercise really does the body and the spirit good. As we used to
always say in the MTC "exercise time is sacred time." But honestly,
with a bunch of missionaries, you have to expect atleast ONE person to get
hurt...we were doing jumps (the stage here is only like 2 or 3 feet high
so we were jumping and sister Adair slipped and missed the stage and
wrecked it pretty bad....we took her home and cleaned it up..it was
pretty bloody and exciting! Haha it's pretty banged up and swollen...she
said she has a kankle now...hahah but if it gets more bruised and
swollen we'll have to take her in...
Also Barbara who is supposed to get
baptized next week? She got grounded from church....so sad… Gosh my heart is just breaking for B...she's
been SO excited, inviting all her friends,
etc. She has such a strong testimony and really knows this
gospel is true. She wants it so bad! And god knows that. Things will work
out the way He needs them to work
out.
Then B…. OH MY GOODNESS HE IS THE
BEST!! We had a few appointments with him this week and a few hours
before one of them, his friend M calls. He told us he got our
number from B and was telling us that B just got out of emergency surgery and is in the hospital and
would love a call from us. We got brother Ba, brother B and K to come
to the hospital with us to give B a blessing. Kirby has
been coming to the lessons with us!!! And wow. Wow wow wow. The spirit in
that room was so incredibly strong. Like wow. I can't even like.
Gahhh. We read some scriptures and talked with B more about what
the priesthood is and what blessings are and about faith. B was exhausted from surgery but was
able to bear us the sweetest testimony of how the
gospel makes him feel better and how he just feels good strength in a
way he never has before he started meeting with us. B is SUCH an example of complete
unfailing faith. The kind of faith I want to
have.
This was an amazing miracle week of
finding! We found 9 new Investigators this week!! The work is really hastening and I
feel so incredibly blessed to be just a tiny tiny part
of the work here in Great Falls Montana. We have an amazing Ward and
the members are incredible!! I
love this area so much. I love you
so much!!!
