Hello everyone!
How are you all? I miss you all alot! Thank you for the emails!!! I really really love hearing how things are going! I wish it was christmas so that I could talk to you all again!! So many great things are happening there!
Well! We are busy! This week we are going to be helping out a multi-stake youth conference filming everyone and doing other things that they are wanting us to do! Guess who will be there!!! Jericho Road!! I am sure that atleast a few of you know who they are?? if not google them. One of them grew up here in one of the wards we cover! So that should be fun! Plus we have to work in all of our normal appointments and things that we do and this is the last week of the Transfer and Sister Westover will probably be transferred so we will have to do extra visits! Wew! I love being busy!
So yesterday was the 4th of July and it was my 6 month mark! Can you believe it has been that long? I can't!
Yesterday was sooo fun! Here is how it went!
Woke up went straight to the town of Adrian's breakfast celebration- saw some investigators and less actives and had fun laughing!
Then we went back to Nyssa and taught the young boy that has his baptism this weekend! He is so stinking cute though, I love teaching kids 12 and under cause they give the best responses!
Then we went home for some study time and lunch and I learnt some super cool stuff from Alma chapter 8 I think it was, just how awesome it is to have been brought up in a family that has started the Gospel traditions and kept them going! I am so glad I am not a jerk like the Ammonihahs who fell away and became really hard hearted, which is also like alot of the less actives we meet out here! Plus we all have experiences like Alma just not to that scale! Even Alma found transfers hard. Being transferred stinks hehe!
Ok enough of that. Then we went to Vale!! It was sooo fun! They had a small town parade and we went over to one of our favourite persons in the whole world's house named Sister Jacob! She is an absolute crack up! She had a water fight with her husband and whole family while we were there and they "accidently got me" as we were trying to leave haha.
There were all these people dressed up riding horses, driving old cars.. I took a couple of photos of them for you dad, an old fire engine, the school did a float and they super soaked people while they went by, tons of the shops in town did something and they threw out lollies and gave people flowers and stuff. It was an awesome experience! My first float parade! Plus we got a referral!
Then after that we had to go home so that I could get changed!
Then we went to one of the biggest families in Nyssa's celebration for dinner and I only ate salad! They did this whole show thing with their family and sang american songs and did this bell ringing thing etc... plus we spent time with one of there family members that isnt a member but that we have been trying to work with.
The we had strict orders to be home by 9pm even though it doesnt get dark here till about 9:30 so we missed their fireworks but thats ok.
Last week we went through the Temple with someone who had been inactive for ages! We went with her again this morning! She was crying and just loved it. She was so ready and prepared!
Plus we went to the Owhyee ward on Sunday and a less active we have been working with finally brought his family to church and they loved it! They want to come back. There is a long story behind him but we seem to have a special bond cause he was adopted out of an Australian family. We have been having great discussions and are just getting along great there!
I really wish I could just give you a day by day recount because too much happens in a week but I dont have enough time!!! Things are going some much better out here now! It is really exciting but we are still doing all we can to find people and progress the work further!
I have also been learning alot about Spirit world lately and how important it is that we forgive one another! Its really really important!
Ok I need to go! Sorry this is such a rush but we have to end our P-day early today!
Love you all!
Sister Huckfeldt
