Week #88 3-28-16

Hey everyone! New Plymouth has been pretty good so far! It isn't that much different from Homedale! But the work here is blowing up! It is great!

Tuesday- We had a lesson with this little girl who is 9 and she is getting baptized on the 9th! She is super cute and is super ready for it so things there are really good! Then we went on splits that night and visited these people who are from a country above India! But they are super cool and the mom doesn't speak English so we were having her 12 year old daughter translate for us! It was really cool!

Wednesday- We did service for a lady who is moving houses and it was really nice to be able to where a t-shirt and shorts outside! haha I LOVE THE HEAT!!!! Then we were supposed to play basketball with this kid who is taking the lessons, but we found out he was sick. So then we helped a lady outside of her house change her brakes! That was fun! Then that night we went and visited this lady who is super friendly, and loves horses and western stuff! But we invited her to take the missionary lessons and she excepted! So we will be teaching her!

Thursday- We went to the senior center for lunch and did some service for them! Then we went back to the brake lady's house and finished the other side of the car and moved some wood for her! Then we went to this family's house and the mom and dad are members, but the kids aren't. So we asked if we could teach their son and they said yes so we are gonna teach him too!

Fri- We had zone meeting! IT was kinda boring! hahaha

Sat- We got to go to Nampa for a baptism!! Her name is Hallie Haw's and she is sister Haws' daughter! Not a convert baptism, but really close to the family so it was good to see them!

Well that was my week! Thanks for all the love and support! Hope you all had a good Easter! Love ya!

He is from San Bernardino California and is freaking awesome! He came out with me so he goes home the same day! I think we are gonna get along really well and have tons of fun! I am super excited!

So this week consisted of three things.. Packing, saying goodbyes, and loosing sleep! It was a rough one! Because we covered four wards we were all over the place saying goodbye! I have a bunch of pictures, but not very many stories!

One day Jace did take us on an adventure in the Owyhees! Thats where the scenery pictures came from! The rest are just me saying goodbye to some families and people I developed a relationship with! Love these guys!

Also there was this freak hail storm last week! It was crazy! It literally came out of no where!

Wednesday- We had zone conference! I love zone conference, but sometimes I struggle with a 7 hour meeting! It was good to see some people from the other zones who I haven't seen in a while! Then that night we went to this family's house. They are a super awesome young couple, but the wife was sick, so we gave her a blessing and that was really good!

She quite coffee and tea and smoking cold turkey after we taught her the Word of Wisdom! She hasn't messed up! So she is just a great lady!

No kissing on the mission!

Andy got baptized!

Hey everyone! How are you doing?? I am doing really good! This week has been pretty crazy! I kissed a goat, put down a cow, and helped someone come closer to Christ by being baptized! It was great! The weather has been unreal, The dream trio is still together and laughing more then ever, and the work is still going!

Tuesday- We went to the dairy and put down a cow, also I roped a cow from the back of the truck! I felt like John Wayne from the movie Safari. Ok we didn't really rope it, we kinda scared it back into the fence! It jumped an electric wire! It was pretty funny! But I still felt cool! Then that night we went on splits and divided and conquered!

Wednesday- We had a lesson with Melba who got baptized last month! She was having a rough time because satan was trying pretty hard to get her down! but she is pretty amazing and didn't take crap from him! So that was a pretty good lesson!

Thursday- We tried I think everyone that lives in Homedale and didn't get a thing done! It was wonderful -_-

Friday- We Had our last lesson with Andy and his interview! He killed it and everything was good for the baptism on Sat! We also gave a lady a blessing who has a cyst and it has been causing her grief lately! So Priesthood power for the win!!!

Sat- ANDY GOT DUNKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We also went to a less active members house and played glow in the dark golf with them! It was pretty fun!

Sunday- ANDY GOT CONFIRMED!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then we had 6 hours of church! I told Jace if he bore his testimony then I would too and he did it! So then I got up there and preached till I was blue in the face! HAHA Jk I just said what the spirit told me too!
