HEYYYYYYYYYY cheeeeeee!
This week was soooo good! Everyday when we got in at night it was like I blinked and the day was over ...it was crazy. So last Monday we went and hiked hanging rock which was Soooo fun! Then that night I packed everything up and the next day I was in Salisbury! And it's pronounced Sauhlsbury with the southern accent. It's a lot more country here! Which I like a lot! There's all these sweet little towns in our area, we were driving down some sweet back roads yesterday too out in the country it was awesome!
So Tuesday, we get to our apartment drop my stuff off and head to an appointment with a lady named Annie. We had a solid lesson, she just soaked in the restoration and said she'd be baptized next month. Then we saw a lady named Debbie that is getting baptized the 25th, and had just quit smoking. She is super nice and I'm excited to get to know her more.
Wednesday I finally got to meet some members of the ward, they have a lesson every Wednesday at the church with investigators here it's amazing, the ward loves missionary work, they fellowship people like crazy.....this week we had at least 3 members ask to have our investigators over for dinner it was amazing! And they ask us to come to appointments all the time it's so crazy how great they are. one of our investigators even taught this lesson on Wednesday about tender mercies of the Lord it was so good. We had another solid lesson with some new investigators named Jo are Jazmin, young couple with some kids are did they seemed to be pretty interested and we're gonna try and get them to church.
Thursday was insane, we were running around like chickens with our heads cut off all day. we had a district meeting in the High Point building which was super good, we emphasized introducing the book of Mormon, it's amazing how important the book of Mormon is in conversion and especially a lasting conversion. When we got done with the meeting we drove up to Colfax and I went with 2 other Elders and proselyted while Elder Grieve had another meeting. We got food and saw some people and came back to the church. Got my companion back and we drove about an hour back to our area. Well we got there and had to rush to an appointment with a man named Jon church. He was super interesting and our lesson took soooo long because he kept talking about weird tangents. We had to have our dinner get dropped off at this investigators house haha. So we get out of the lesson and we head home to eat this food, we get our burgers ready sit down, pray over it and then Elder Grieve realized we had another lesson scheduled for about 5 minutes ago haha. So we leave our food, book it to this home and we taught this 7 year old who we're teaching the lessons to. Right after that we have another lesson with Denzel and Myiesha who are seriously the best! They have the cutest little kids and are just so sweet. Well they had been sick and so we bought them some oranges and some other stuff to help with their cold haha. We went over and had a sabbath day lesson with another member that went great.
This other young family that we found this week was James and Heather, they have 2 little kids also and we taught them the restoration the other day . The seemed to love it! And said they'd come to church, we also taught their friend who walked in late and said she was interested haha! It was awesome.
Sunday was awesome. The ward here it soooo good! There was one member that had lived in Kennewick 10 years ago. There were some solid talks, one I really liked, he said if I were to leave what would one thing I would leave behind, and that it would be the Gospel, that my family knows how important the gospel is in our lives. We had 5 investigators at church and it was such a good talk for them, James and Heather came and said they loved it and we were so stoked to hear that!
The great things just kept coming this week! We had a dinner at the Fairbanks and they wanted to invited Denzel and Myiesha! We had a super good meal and then an even better lesson. They are set close to being baptized they just need to quit smoking and that's it! Their kids Elijah and Aiden are the cutest little boys ever! The spirit was flowing, Brother Fairbank had such good insight because he had to quit smoking it was just such a good way to end the week.
Elder Grieve and I are getting along great, he is such a good missionary and knows how to make things happen, I'm super excited to learn from him and see the miracles this transfer. Today I think we are going to play some ball on an outdoor court with Elder Shultz and Hampshire which should be super fun!
.......we just went to Marshalls and I saw a guy wearing a Mariners hat....had to talk to him and he knows the Seagers! I guess they live close to here.....look it up for me.

How was your good bye with Elder Montandon and Winston?
It was fine, I was bummed I missed the baptism this Saturday but oh well I think I'll email Laird once he gets to Texas and make sure he finds the church.
