Long Hard Week (Week 38 In The Field)

So we had a really good week last week. We had a lot of members come with us to our lessons and taught a ton. Not only that, but we also helped a member move almost all day Friday and all day Saturday. We started helping them move Friday at 3 until 10, and on Saturday from 9 to 5. I am so sore from that crazy move, there was a lot of heavy lifting involved. But I am very glad we were able to help them out, they really needed it because they had to be out by the end of the month, and they just found a house that Wednesday before the move. I cannot tell you how thankful they were for our help, it was such a neat experience.

The funniest part of the move was that there was an 8 year old girl there, that followed me around the entire time, both days we were helping them. I think she had a little crush on me, so I got a kick out of that. Turns out her Mom is less active, and she hasn't been baptized yet. Unfortunately, they live in a different ward, but I think since a lot of missionaries were at the move helping, the mom of the girl that followed me really felt the spirit. So who knows, maybe they will come back to church.

The rest of the week was really good, I am really starting to get to know the members in my new ward now and they are all great! There is a kid that just got his mission call to Nampa, Idaho and we were supposed to take him out with us all day Friday but it fell through, well, frankly because he got his mission call the night before and he wanted to spend time with his family. He's such an awesome kid, we are going to go out with him sometime next week when he gets back from Utah.

But, yeah we had the opportunity to take 3 other priests out with us this past week. It was such a good experience for them, and this coming week we will be taking out another priest out with us all day Thursday, so I am super stoked for that.

I am really starting to get to know my companion a lot. He is always cracking jokes, unless we are in a spiritual lesson. But I love him, he is such a hard worker and still knows how to have fun.

In other ways of announcements, we got a new mission president. His name is President Rehm and he just entered the field on Saturday. I haven't met him yet, but we will meet him this coming Wednesday, and we will also have interviews with him the following week. I'm kind of nervous and excited at the same time, but I'm sure he will be great! I will let you know how he is next week.

I love and miss you all and hope you all have a great week! Oh and Happy 4th of July! We will be marching in a parade that day, so I'm pretty excited about that! :) Love you!
