Hey everyone!
so it was kind of a crazy week here.
I dont even know where to begin!
I will start by just saying thank you to everyone who wrote me last week!! you guys are the best and it was so good to hear from everyone :)
I don't want to go into a TON of detail...but i will explain the headline (? not sure if thats what its called) to my email.
Sister Havens and i had a super interesting lesson on Tuesday night, we were able to meet with a less active member and we wanted to talk to her about how we are able to be examples to our families, and how sometimes if we want others to change, we need to be the one they can look to. I think this hit home because she then proceeded to yell at us, and she is a scary lady. I started to apologize and tell her we weren't trying to make her feel bad, and she lightened up a little after that....but i think we almost got kicked out of her home. And just to be clear, i swear we were not being rude at all. we just read a quote to her that says something like "everything that happens in the conversion process must happen to you before it can happen to them- everything". She just didn't take it well... BUT it was an exciting day haha.
Also this week in Phelan a girl from the local high school passed away in a car accident. Since it's such a little town, almost the whole ward knew her and is struggling because of it. Sister havens and i weren't sure what we could do for the families we knew that were affected by it because most of them didn't want to talk about it. BUT sister Haven's had a balloon animal kit so we made a ton of balloon animals and delivered them to the youth in the ward. It was pretty fun, and they told us the really appreciated them, especially when they had to try to guess what the animals were haha.
Our investigators are doing great! we've faced a few rocky spots with them this week, but Cheryl has committed to quitting drinking and smoking! so we are pretty excited :) It is so cool to see how the spirit tells people what they need to do. We hadn't even taught the Word of Wisdom yet when she told us, and its just a huge testimony to me that the Word of wisdom truly is a commandment of God, and thats how she already knew that she needed to quit :)
Now for the Popped tire... SO this week while driving down the roads of phelan, sister Haven's and i made a wrong turn. We thought we were on a road.....But it wsn't untill about 15 minutes of driving down this path that we realized that it was NOT a road but actually a four wheeling path... And that we were stuck in the desert. After some unintentional off roading we were able to get the car out...but one of our tires was hissing. So we rushed home and looked at the tire. Turns out a stick pierced the side of the tire, right where the tread and the wall meet. SO we got to change a tire this week.
I think that is about it for this week.
It was crazy, but it was really great.
Thank you for all of your prayers and support :) i love and miss you guys!
