Another week in the life.

I am out of time this week, so you'll have to bear with me.

This week was busy. It feels like it lasted forever. Next week will be even busier though, we have zone training and exchanges and our family history class and Aja's baptism, (Mikayla's got moved to the 26th so her family can attend, and Jame's got moved to August so he can prepare a bit more), and like everything else.

Church yesterday was the BEST. Both Aja and Mikayla bore their testimonies in Sacrament meeting! I bawled like a baby, I couldn't handle it.

Monday was fun cause it was Pday. We have a "very merry un-birthday" party with the YSA while there was a crazy storm outside. We had like NO time to hand out a Book of Mormon afterward and it was pouring, but we knew that God would provide. So we cringed a little at the thought of knocking doors at 8:45pm, but we put a smile on our faces and knocked on a couple of different doors. The 5th one we knocked we were able to meet a super nice guy and his family. He accepted a Book of Mormon at 8:56 and we were home by 9:01! Miracles happen when you try to be obedient!

We had interviews with President Cutler on Tuesday. hahaha. That was interesting. He asked us to share our feelings of gratitude of the Atonement and how its helped us as missionaries and from there on out, I bawled like a baby again. haha I kept saying, "President, I know I look sad, but I promise I'm happy!" haha. It was weird, I dont usually cry like that in front of people if I can help it. But it was good.

Wednesday was like the longest day of my life. Actually, it feels like every day this week was the longest day of my life. Weird. 

 

The 4th was fun. Actually, funny story.
So. Wednesday nights, we have Book of Mormon class and its been the same night and the same time since before I got here 3 months ago. Well, we show up and we get a text from the Elders saying that they will be a little late. We ask them how late they will be and they say, "Well, we just sat down to dinner with Bishop...." .....Bishop lives like 20 minutes away, so we knew that meant that they straight werent showing up at all. Then we had to cancel Book of Mormon class 5 minutes before it started because the Elders had the key to the church and no other auxiliaries were meeting at the building that night. So. Here comes Thursday and we are going to Clinton to have dinner with Bishop at 2 because that what he wrote on our dinner calendar. We show up and no one is home. We call the Elders and are like,"Hey. What time is dinner at Bishops?" They say its a 5. We go, "Hmmm. Were you supposed to tell someone....?"  and the freaked out because they WERE supposed to tell us.

So. We had 3 hours of nothing to do in the tiny town of Clinton, Wisconsin. 

Longest 3 hours of my life. 

Clinton isnt even our area to work in, so we didnt have anyone to teach. We saw some less actives. And got a drink at a members house. And taught Mikayla. Annnnnnnnnd THEN had dinner with Bishop and his family. It was a blast. I love those humans and all of their small humans. haha

Thursday was fun. I think. Cant remember. 

Same with Friday. 

and Saturday.

haha. 

This is the worst letter home of all time, but whatevs. It's the best I've got today. Just know that we are super busy and we see miracles on the daily and that God loves you.
