Hey Y'all!
This past week went by super fast. I guess that's good
because it means we were busy doing the Lord's work. On Tuesday we drove to
Charleston for interviews with President Lindhardt. He was running a little
behind so we ended up waiting in the Mission office for like two hours before
our interviews. It was okay though because the office is such a wonderful
place. We got to talk to other missionaries who were also waiting for
interviews and the office missionaries who are so fun. The whole office is just
filled with the Spirit and a love so deep you can almost reach out and touch
it.

After interviews, Sister Condie and I went on exchanges with
the Sister Training Leaders, Sisters Sorenson and Schoemig. I went with Sister
Schoemig and we covered South Hills for the day. She is AWESOME and we had
a blast, laughing most of the day. So something pretty cool, we saw an albino
deer! I didn't even know they existed but apparently they do.

We also got more random free stuff this week. So we
got a referral from the Zone Leaders to talk to a girl they met in
Charleston and we went over to her house to see if she was home but instead her
dad answered the door. We talked to him for a little bit and found out he was a
hard core Baptist and had a line of preachers in his family. He was kinda
interesting and tried to tell us the scripture "Jesus wept" was in
Ecclesiastes. Anyways, he lives on this street where we teach like
everyone so we're there basically every other day. And for some reason we see
him every time we're there. He always waves to us and is usually
pretty nice. Then one day, he stops us in our truck and puts a volleyball
net in the back. We're just like uhh ok... Something else to add to
our collection.
Baby Squirrel! A family we teach saved it from their cat and are now raising it.
We had one of our investigators who has been having lessons
with the missionaries since November come to church for the first time
yesterday! He was super nervous about coming to a new church but had
a great time! He even brought his 4 year old who really enjoyed primary. I'm so
excited for them and know this gospel could help them come closer as a
family!

Another funny story, we went to visit this member
who moved to West Virginia a couple months ago and hasn't been to church
since. He talked about how he is putting finding a job as his first
priority and doesn't have time for church right now.
Sister Condie gave a smack down lesson and told him that God
always comes first and basically put him in his place. And what do
you know... the next week he was at church:)

What I heard while I was praying last night: "....I
know you're praying but there's a ladybug on my bed.... That one
multiplied!...*closet door open* *vacuum starts*.....*vacuum starts
again*...*laughing*" Gotta love my companion
I hope everyone has a great week and remember I love you!
