Bringing the Thunder!

  Lindsey and "Lucy"     Also to be known as "Teaching the gospel BABY!" or Week 3 of transfer 7. This week was really awesome and full of the spirit! We had like 5 meetings this week. Wednesday was our only full proselyting day. That's because a member of the quorum of the Seventy came named Elder Cardon! We had a mission conference with him, then a mission fireside where he and his wife also spoke, then we also had a shortened zone conference with just President and Sister Ames, then our stake had two sessions of Stake Conference. Elder Cardon spoke at both of them, as well as President Ames. It was really cool to see them like basically every day this week. We talked a lot about increasing our faith and about listening to the spirit. It was really good.   Lucy is doing really well! We set up a game plan with her to help her quit smoking and drinking completely. She's cut back a lot but is still working on it. What's aw...

 Half way package :)  Can you believe she's half way???   Tri-panionship still going strong! Kitty!!   Also funny story: I was incredibly sassy in Sunday school yesterday . I probably shouldn't have been though haha. We were teaching the lesson and I was writing on the chalk board. I was standing on my tip toes to write something and heard some people snickering, then as I turned around the old ward mission leader asked if I'd like a step stool (he's the kind of guy who loves to tease everyone and is just in general very hilarious). So I asked if he was volunteering. It was funny, but probably not becoming of a disciple of the Lord haha.   This week was really good! We've had a lot of good variety. We've been working a lot on finding and found 4 new promising investigators! We're really excited about it. We've also had some good lessons with the people we're already working with. We were also so blessed to have 4 of...

Trio Time!

    Being in a trio is awesome! It's like a missionary party everyday! Plus it has helped Sister Lewis and I to get a fresh perspective on missionary work. When you've been working together for so long it can be easy to kind of get into the same old routine with our work. Sister Carbno is a wonderful missionary who has helped us learn so much already. It's going to be a wonderful transfer. This week was pretty great! We helped Saul move out of his place, but we taught him and had a really awesome lesson. In Sunday school last week we talked about the word of wisdom. So in our lesson Saul was asking about it. So we explained that there are certain commandments that Latter Day Saints follow. Then he asked what else there was that he'd have to do to prepare for baptism! It was so amazing! We're sad he's moved into a different ward, but we know he's going to do so well there. I can't wait to hear about his baptism one day! We were a...
