SEPTEMBER 26, 2011

Well this week was another fantastic week out here in Texas!!!!!!!! On tuesday i got to spend the day with elder calderwood down in his area which went really well!!!!!! Elder calderwood is a great missionary and he is very diligent and obedient which i love!!!!!!!! We went tracting around Allen and then we went and visited a few people and we met this black guy on the street who is very interested in learning more which was great!!!!!!! Then on thursday we got to go and visit Sister Lawson, she is an old lady that lives in a nursing home and she cant come to church so the young men come and bring the sacrament to her!!!!! But when we visited her she said that she is feeling much better and she is going to be able to start coming to sacrament meeting on sundays which i am so stoked about!!!!!!! she loves when missionarys come over and when people come and visit her!!!!!!! she got baptized four years ago!!!!!!!! On friday i had the weirdest dinner of my life!!!!!!! we had steak but the member that made it only cooked it for a couple minutes so it was so raw that it was basically like sushi!!!!!!!! i didnt want to be rude and tell her to cook it more so i had to eat it!!!!!! it wasnt very bad but i was scared that i was going to get sick from it and guess what?!?!?!!? i didnt get sick!!!!!!! the Lord really watches over us, its so great!!!!!!! then we went to go and visit this family that got sealed in the temple this week!!!!!! they are such a great family!!!! the dad has cancer but they are so optimistic about everything, its so great!!!!!!! all the mom cared about while they were in the temple was that her son could feel the spirit!!!!!! the family has been through a lot, they were excommunicated a few years ago but then they got baptized again a year ago and then they got to go through the temple this week and get sealed!!!!!!! they are moving to Potomac, maryland next week so the dad can get treatment for his cancer in washington dc!!!!! So emilee crowder tell your family to look out for them when they move there!!!!!!! their last name is farqueson!!!!!! also at dinner the other night a member gave me a whole half of a watermelon, emilee you would have loved it!!!!!!! Then the next day we had a few appointments planned but they all fell through so we went tracting instead!!!!!! we had to drop all of our investigators baptism dates because none of them are coming to church and they forget about our appointments with them!!!!!!! its okay though because i know that everything happens for a reason and the Lord needed us to be in a different place at that time!!!!!!!! Then on saturday night we ate at a members house and they have a PIG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it is HUGE!!!! we got to pet it and everything!!!!!! i love it so much!!!!!!!! yesterday was stressful because i almost got stranded at church again but everything worked out in the end so it was ok!!!!!!!!!! Even though this week was pretty tough because our investigators are being boofs, it was still a great week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
