Week 23

hola family!!

this week fleeeew by i cant believe its already monday again!

so highlights of the week:

Tuesday: we had to get the tires changed on our car, and a new battery, so we were in sears for hoours on Tuesday. BUT, tender mercy, there is a cafe rio in walking distance, and guess what sears is connected ta? A MALL. i may be a missionary, but i will never pass up walking around a mall. so thats what we did to kill time! it was so fun.

Wednesday: so we met a woman (we'll call her K) last week when we were trying a referral we got, and she had just pulled up in her car, so we talked with her and set a time to come and teach her, and that was Wednesday night! and oh my word, she is amazing. we taught her in the home of the member that lives next to her, and the spirit was so strong, she was asking so many amazing questions and sister Davies and I were on fire! it was the best lesson i've had on my mission, i loved it. its moments like that that make me LOVE being a missionary!

Thursday: SO Thursday was an adventure. because Sister Davies is a Sister Training Leader, she had a leadership meeting all day Thursday in Vail (two-three hours away) and so i was in Fruita with the other sisters whos companions are STL's. So i was with Sister Paongo, and sister Neslen. it was so fun!! Fruita is a small town right next to the boarder of Utah and Colorado, and it was so fun! the pictures of me holding a chicken, and feeding a horse? yeah thats from Fruita hahahaha

Friday: we had weekly planning which takes a big chunk of the day. It was still great though!! We also had a surpsise cleaning check, and the couple that does the cleaning checks are in their 80's, and we were home because of planning and so they talked to us for awhile, they are SO funny i cant wait to tell you what they did when we Skype.

Saturday: we were on another exchange! Sister Paongo was in Grand Junction with me, which was a little overwhelming because i feel like i still dont totally know the area, but it actually went really good! it made me feel a lot more confident in myself having to lead everything here for the day. but i was SO happy to be bacj with Sister Davies, she is so much fun.

Sunday: So yesterday was funny, after sacrament meeting, a member of the bishopric came over to us and said the teacher for the 11 and 12 year olds didn't show up so he needed us to go teach them.... uh sure!! we can do that! luckily their topic this month is the restoration and if theres anything two missionaries know how to teach its the restoration. the kids were a little naughty but it was fun!

This week we found a few new investigators and will hopefully see them this coming week! im loving it in Grand Junction and loving being sister Davies companion. mothers day is so soon!!!!! i cant wait!!!!!!!

Have a good week :)
