So this week was nuts.... like I don't even know where to start. so I guess I will start at the beginning.

Monday- we taught an investigator named Juan. He is struggling in life. Trying to figure out how to be a dad and things like that but it was a struggle lesson as he was helping his kids with a science fair project.

Tuesday- District meeting and a blessing for a sister in the zone. In the evening we taught Robert... that was interesting. He had a "friend" that was "just passing through" over hahah she seemed like she'd been there for a day or two and wasn't leaving very soon, but she was nice to us. She asked us about women being wisdom. We didn't know what to say so I said well I have always been told that dad is the head of the house, but mom is the neck that turns the head. Robert was super drunk and loved that and he freaked out and cussed up a storm and told me he was going to get me a promotion. Then his friend was reading some verses that reminded me of "How great thou art" so I was muttering the lyrics under my breath. Robert somehow hears me... like I don't even know how, he was so drunk. SO not wanting him to think I was talking about him I tell them it was lyrics to a hymn and his friend is like "oooooh sing it!" Me and Elder Smith look at each other and are like.... uhhh that's a bad idea you don't want us to sing. Anyway somehow they got us to sing and then he kicked us out of his house. We were that bad.... not really.... but he was touched by the hymn that is for sure.

Wednesday - was exchanges we had a good day didn't teach anyone though.

Thursday - Mission Leadership Conference! It was great! I loved it and I got to see some of my Favorite missionaries ever ! So that was awesome!

Friday- Planning and more planning. We also picked up a guy named Cyle who recently moved in to the YSA ward and went and taught Taylor. He is still struggling, but he should meet his baptism date.

#squadcrew hike on P-day, we are #squadchiefs

Saturday - so at like 11 pm on friday after we are asleep we get a call that we need to get to the hospital and help administer to a sister missionary there. So we wake up and run down there and come back as fast as we can. And before we can fully fall asleep we get another call at like 12:05 am from a different set of sisters that we need to come give one of them a blessing. That poor sister was so sick she couldn't move or speak. So we rush to their place and minister to her and then come home. By time we were asleep it was like 1:30. And at 8 am in the morning we had a meeting with our stake high counselor over missionary work. Then we tried/attempted to proselyte and plan our zone training meeting. Then while we are eating dinner we get yet another call from some sister's who had a rough experience and needed some comfort. So that was a spiritually exhausting, but and amazing and faith-building day! NEVER EVER EVER be scared to ask for a blessing!

Sunday - So we had a meeting in the morning with our stake presidency and mission presidency. and then church... Kenny stood us up... that was sad. Taylor came though!

We also called the sisters who were sick and they are all a lot better so that is good.

PS.   This week, everyone here was like 'Are you worried about the storm?' and I was like 'what storm?'...and they were like 'the big one out east... like lots of snow and stuff'..... I was like 'oh no we do snow all the time. And we don't live out east.'
