This week was Great,

I know i wrote on THursday but i dont really remember what i included and didnt so sorry if any of this repeats.

 

I went to the Temple, which was a MAJOR highlight. And Even better, i got to see jessica and the kids there!

theyve gotten really big already! its nuts. You dont really realize how fast time is going by untill i see things from home and realize that time goes on with out me there haha. I can believe in 2 week i will have been in the mission feild for 6 months! so crazy.

 

Umm and the rest of the week has mostly been getting susan ready for her baptism. We had her try on the baptismal clothes to see which ones fit and everything. and she is just really excited.

THis week we have been helping her quit smoking. We wanted to do the typically missionary program but she said she had her own way of doing it and she wanted to do it that way. We were worried at first BUT shes been great and hasnt smoked for like 5 days! (she did this before we taught Word of Wisdom because we told heer she needeed to quit for baptism)

We taught her The word of wisdom offically this week, and it was kind of funny. We told her we what we were going over, and she said. "Nope i read the whole pamphlet and were good. but i wont give up the iced tea, ill make it super weak, but i wont give it up" and i kind of got mad haha and started to ask her why. and she just wasnt having it. But then she finally came around and told us its what she replaced smoking with haha so i told her she could have Herbal tea, and she said she couldnt becuase she didnt have money to buy any. So i went to the store and bought her some that night so she would stop.

WE also asked if she wanted a blessing and so we set one up for the next day. When we got there her husabnd told us he "wanted to be a mormon too" so thats awesome ebcause he previuosly wasnt really interested. So thats cool. And Susan's brother is married to the Chorister in our ward (hes not a member) adn we got the chance to talk to him for the first time and it seems like her is warming up to the idea of the church more and more! Im so excited for this family.

 

Anyways thats all.

I love and miss you all,
