So this week. Oh boy. This week. It's
been...interesting that's for sure. We've been helping people in the
ward with moving and cleaning and all of our appointments have been
falling through. And it's freezing. Yup, don't worry about it it's just
July and 10 degrees Celsius. Legit I'm wearing a scarf today...yeah...
haha I guess that's what you get in good ol' Canada! haha But yeah, it's
been a rough(ish) week. Started Monday
night we had our lesson with Justin fall through because they've been
having lots of crazy stuff happening lately. So Justin and his wife
Lorena live with Lorena's sister Yvette. Yvette has four crazy kids and
they all live in the same house so it gets a bit chaotic over there! But
I guess Lorena has been having some issues lately and was in the
hospital and so on Wednesday
or so we went over to talk to her but she wasn't home so we chatted
with Yvette and her husband (they're on a break) was in town because he
was also in and out of the hospital and so we talk with them for a while
and have interesting conversations and then the next morning Yvette
calls us in a panic asking for Sister Howie's address and we're getting
for her and she's like I'm sure you're going to find out anyway and
tells us that last night after we left her husband got super duper drunk
and sped off in their car, ends up turning a corner way too fast, hits a
gas line, swerves into a house and boom explosion, three houses up in
flames. So she was making sure it wasn't the Howie's house or she would
have "never been able to see her face again." Yeah, crazy stuff right?
He's in the hospital waiting to recover and then he's going off to
prison, poor guy. But yeah, they're having a hectic week, send your
prayers in their direction please!
Oh yeah, so we've been cleaning houses right? Sister Walton even
commented and told me that she's never seen girls my age clean so well, I
told her I got it from my momma ;) haha Sister Fenn thinks I'm crazy
because I like to clean so much but I wouldn't have to clean so much if
she wasn't so dirty.........haha jk but really though. I don't mind it
it's quite calming for me.
And also this past week: Sister Fenn and I are opposites to say the
least so sometimes we have some contention between us BUT this week I
think all of the hard things really brought us closer together so yay!
I'm happy about that. We do this thing every week at the end of our
weekly planning called Companionship Inventory where we tell each other
their strengths and how they can build up weaknesses, ask for help,
share goals, resolve any issues and so forth. So I really love this part
because I recognize that we have things we need to fix but Sister Fenn
totally dreads it and would ignore it completely if I wasn't so
persistent haha so we were doing our comp inventory and we talked it all
out and the next day was a walking day and we like actually talked a
lot! Which is awesome because usually I can't get a peep outta her. I
always ask question after question after question and got brief
responses but this time and times after were much much better! WOOHOO
I'LL MAKE HER LOVE ME I WILL.
We also got to work a lot on planning for our ward family home
evening activity that is tonight that we're ultimately going to have to
move to the chapel :( instead of outside at the park because it's toooo
cold. Oh well, I'm sure it'll still be fun! We also planned out our Ward
Mission Plan to get all the members involved with setting and keeping
and making goals! I'm all about goal making it's great.
So with all the cancellations and all the members gone for holiday
this week would have been a total bust but yesterday night it was all
made up for! So there is this family, the Leavitt's, who we've been
trying and trying to visit for weeks. We've stopped by countless number
of times and no one was ever home. So Sunday
night we have about twenty minutes until we can go back home and we've
already attempted to stop by 7 members who weren't home and we're like
what the heck why not?! So we're parked across the street from their
house and we say an extremely heartfelt prayer, open our eyes, take a
deep breath and then BAM she pulls her SUV into the driveway and
HALLELUJAH! OUR PRAYER WAS ANSWERED within SECONDS it was a miracle. So
good. So good.
Anyway, that was my week! Pray for me so I don't freeze to death please.
That
is all. Thank you so much for the video Momma, I can't believe Lynx is
walking so fast! He's just so darn cute. And Anna and Logan are in
Colorado now??! Who woulda thought. Do you have an address for them? Or
tell Anna to check her email would ya? I LOVE YOU ALL!!
