A dry spell broken

Holy Hawkeye!!! What a great week!

Happpppppyyy Fatthhers day again!!!!

Ok so Saturday broke a six month dry spell for this area! Dan got baptised! It was so exciting. We decorated the room all nice and filled the font ourselves and it was just fun...... I did a musical item!!! It was the least scared I have ever been to sing infront of people and lots of people said it was good. I sang "teach me to walk in the light" with Dan's fellowshipper. Here is how we arranged it:
I sang the first verse
Brother Cambell sang the second verse
Then we sang at the same time me singing the first verse and him singing the second
Then we sang the last verse together
Then we sang half of the last line slower to finish.
Any way that was fun and Dan's daughter and son in law who are the only ones of his kids that are members came and they gave the talks! It was so cute. His daughter balled the whole way through and was just so happy! It really was powerful to watch and be a part of! When the bishop got up to do his welcome to the ward he got a few people to come up and say a few things and he got us up and so we got to thank Dan and share alot about how we felt! It was a great baptism. Plus his sick wife came! She is really cute too! I am so excited becuase if all goes well I shoudl be here for them to be sealed in the templ!

Then the next day we went to Dan's ward to see him get confirmed and to get the Aaronic priesthood!! He is a changed man. His countenance is so different!. Ahhh so good!

Then Sunday was awesome! We had a great day seeing people but then yesterday happened!!!----

So we had an appointment first thing where we were going to be teaching follow the Prophet and Word of Wisdom. But since breakfast I had had the hiccups! It was pretty funny. They were coming like every 10 seconds, it was a pain. So I was a wee bit worried walking into that lesson and I was hiccuping as we were having our small talk at the start. They thought my hiccups were funny... then... Sister Westover said the opening prayer and she prayed that they would go away for the lesson and I said a silent prayer that they would go away and they did! I still felt like I needed to hiccup for a little while and that eventually left too and we had a great lesson! They are the coolest family! But its like the elder that was in my first district who had terrets.. he never ever had it in a lesson! This is really not our work.. He perfects us so that it can be his.

Then we had lunch :)

Thennn... we felt like we should go see a less active lady named sister brandt.. well she moved but her friend who we had met and a few times lives there now... She is a less active too and waayyyy more receptive than sister brandt. We had an awesome chat with her and she said we could start teaching her the lessons. We are going to help her paint too. It was exciting. She really wants to have the gospel back in her life and she knows she just needs a little help. She is going to fit in so well in her ward too!

Then... we went and saw Leo who is this guy who owns a shop in town who studies the bible all day long so we took him some scriptures to show him why church is on Sunday cause he used to be 7th day adventist

Then, We had dinner and it was awesome!!!! I ate too much hehe but it was worth it!

Then we went to the church and prayed and felt like we should go see this less active that the Bishop had told us we should see. We went to what we thought was he house. We werent sure what if it was her house and I felt like it wasnt her house but to try it anyway.. We walked up to the door and this big scary guy answered the (the lady Stephanie who we were meant to see was supposed to be divorced) door. We intodruced ourselves and said we were there to see stephanie... he was like oh shes on the couch.. come on in! We went in and introduced ourselves and I was like.. this is weird. This is not matching her description so I asked for her last name! It was a totally different Stephanie that lived on the same street. So we had a little laugh and chatted for a bit and then... we taught her the plan of salvation! We are going back on Saturday to teach her again!!! Cool hey!
Then we went to the other Stephanies real house after calling the Bishop and she wasnt home lol

Then we went to Marci Freoer's house a potential investigator.. she is married to a member and she was home finally! Farmers are some of the busiest people in the world! She took us to pick asparagus and we laughed with her alot!!!! We are going to help her one day on her farm and she is going to take us for a tour in the onion processing place. And hopefully amongst this we can convince her to let us teach her!!!

So that was our fun day yesterday!

The whole of last week and this week we have seen many tender mercies and Miracles!

Plus we got to go to the temple this morning with one of my favourite people in the world called sister Jacobs. She is so funny and we had a wonderful time!

Well thats all for today folks! Until next week!

I LOVE YOU ALLL
