So last monday we went to rexburg and my companion had to get 3 new pairs of pants because he says he eats too much and hes says that he is too fat. So we spent about an hour there just so he can get new pants. While I was waiting for him, I found a new sweater and a new coat that was from old navy for a total of 11$. What a bargain and i'm super excited to wear it this winter. When we went to walmart a lady that has a son serving a mission right now paid for our groceries and then took a photo us us to send to our mothers!. Later that night, my companion was trying to clean our regular vacuum and then our carpet cleaning vacuum and he ended up breaking both of them because he didn't know how to take one of the pieces off, haha. But we got a new one from the housing coordinators.
Tuesday was boring. We had to help sis coles cut her weeds in front of her house and then for dinner one our ward mission leaders took us out to rigby to get some Chinese food.
Wednesday we had our usual district meeting and it went alright. We talked about how we as a district can set those 89 baptismal dates with the investigators we are teaching. the lesson we had with the cripes canceled on us because she got called into work. We went to go visit a less active tasha holland and she gave us a blender for us to use so that we can make smoothies in the morning! she also gave us some plant food to put in the smoothies and gave us some chia and flax seeds. It was kinda weird but hey, you don't turn down a blender! Later that night, our ward mission leader for palisades owns a taxidermy and so we just chilled there the whole night while he was skinning a bear. It was so cool, haha.
On thursday we did weekly planning and then we went to the library to make lynzees baptismal programs! I downloaded all of the general conference talks and I encourage all of you to listen to them again! they are so good. We had a church tour/baptismal interview with lynzee and then we exchanged with the zone leaders. I stayed her in Ririe with elder welling.
On friday, our exchanges went alright. Elder welling was sick and didn't feel like doing much but we pressed on!We just tried to get a whole bunch of refs but everyone was not home. We saw St because he got surgery earlier that morning and so we gave him a blessing and we are set his baptismal date for November 14th @ 10am! We are so excited and cant wait! We went to teach lynzee the last lesson and she was crazier than ever! but she was happy that we are done with the lessons.
Saturday was lynzzes baptism! it was my first so it was the best one ive had yet! it was so spiritual and loved everything about it! After the baptism we went to her house to hang out and eat snacks! We had dinner at our wml house again and for our message we taught and practiced the message of the restoration.
Sunday was pretty relaxing. we went to the perry ward so that we could confirm lynzee and then we went to 2nd ward to watch the primary kids practice their program. It was fun hearing them sing! For dinner, we went to this awesome family that took photos of us so that we could send back home! it was way fun!
Well thats it for this week and I hope that all is well. I thankful for the blessings and prayers you send my way! God is Good!
