Hello my wonderful family,
I am still working on getting back to you all! I have a little ways to go on the list! I love you still though!! I am just going on who sent them first!
Well I have had another great week as a missionary! I just love being here! I hope they never move me from this area. I have seen so many miracles personally, in the people that we are teaching, in the ward missionaries, in my companions and in the area as a whole. I just hope that there are more to come! Some baptisms would be nice but our patience is tried for reason! They have more preparation to go through before they make their important promises.
So we will now be spending Friday nights out in Vale so that we can get that area going. We have two new investigators out there already and a few more potentials! One that we started teaching on Sunday and the cute little old man Paul! We will be teaching him this week again and he loved the movie that we left him to watch. He is so cute, I wish you could all meet him! The person that we started teaching on Sunday has been a Catholic and has investigated alot of churches. He loves the community of ours but he also recognised that the other churches don't have the fullness but he thinks ours does! Our lesson actually went for like and hour and a half cause we talked about so much stuff and so indepth! Then we were super late for our next appointment! Woops! I didnt even realise that the time flew by!
But you will be happy to know that other than that one time I have been very punctual to most of our appointments! People out here like to trap us in their homes and talk for ages though so this has been really hard to finally have happen! But I love all the people and they are so interesting!
We taught Marci again last week and she went in for her first round of Chemo on Monday. She just amazes me! Our lesson.. which is more of like a question and answer time was soo spiritual. I cried alot in that lesson.. which compared to other people is not alot because it seems to take alot to get me to cry nowadays... so a tear or two is alot of crying! Any way. I know that I am here for her. The following day she took us to work with her! We went to the place that they make peppermint and spearmint oil. We had a lot of fun with her. She has been working this whole time while she been going through all of her hard times. You can just feel the spirit around her. She is definately being helped in her trials and I am so glad that she has chosen to be faithful rather than bitter.
Ooooh!!!! Guess what is so awesome! Yesterday was miracle Monday again!!!!!
We were at one of our ward mission leaders houses because we had the Martinez family go over there so that we could do family home evening togerther with them. We taught the lesson ofcourse. We taught them tithing and fasting. It was a great lesson! We bought mm's nad gave them 10 then made them give one back and then poured the blessings over them so that the mm's filled their hands. The discussion was really good too. I love the Wagstaffs. I will have to come back and visit them one day.
Ok so after the Martinez family left we were sitting around talking about the work in the area and all of a sudden sister Wagstaff saisd "hey what about the Jordans!"
Remember how like 2 months ago I told about those kids who died driving home from youth conference becuase they ran a stop sign? Well the car that they hit was the Jordans! They live in our area!
We knew that she was inspired to have thought of them. I could feel it. We went straight there and got to their house at 1 minute to 9! Hope Jordan invited us straight in and talked about how the members of the families had treated them and had apologised to them and had so much hope about them even though they were the ones who had lost someone. She said that she understands that we believe differently about after this life and that she would like us to teach her about that!!!! We will wont be able to teach them for about 2 weeks as they are going to be in and out of town because they are rodeo-ers and this is their peak season. But she gave us her number and is superly excitedly genuine about learning!! Had we gone on Thursday... which was the next time we would be in Owhyee where they live then we would have missed them. Wow. It is an amazing moment to see, know and feel that the Spirit has just worked through someone.
Well I had better get going!
I love you all!
Sister Huckfeldt
Oh and P.s... in the last two weeks I have officially killed 4 birds and a ground hog with the car!! Not on purpose but they are still dead lol!! Woops! Apparantly part of my calling write now is to end the lives of some defenceless creatures!
