9/22/14 - Holy Cows

Hi family,

This week has been an interesting one.

On Monday, we hiked the wind caves. I about died. But it was super cool and pretty. We probably won't be getting very many hikes in since it's starting to get cold. We also had a really good lesson with Paulino outside. We were able to use the Book of Mormon to answer some of his concerns. Basically, it's the best book ever. He's struggling coming to church though. Why is it always church that holds people back? Hopefully we can help resolve his concern again. 

Last week we ran out of gas and this week we got a flat tire. Goodness gracious. Luckily our WML helped us out again and we were able to fix it the next day. 

We are teaching a woman out in Tetonia because she doesn't like Elders (or because Sisters are the best). She used to be anti-Mormon. Little bit by little bit she has opened her mind and heart. We had a great lesson with her about the Restoration and how God loves each of us. We asked her if she would be baptized if she were to know that these things were true. She told us that she would live everything that "the book" taught, but she wouldn't be baptized because her family would freak (they're all anti-Mormons). Dang it. But she's a pretty cool lady and it has been neat to see her change.

We saw the Shausters a few times this week. They are my favorite! They are so excited about the gospel and are just awesome people. We helped paint their house this week and we're going to help them finish it up this week. Mac said in his prayer, "Please help us to get along even though it will be really hard because of Boo." 

Sister Willes and I live on a farm. This week, they separated the cows from the calves. Oh my word. They are SO loud!! It was pretty funny though. I wish I could send you the video I took. They would not shut up for like 3 days straight. Oh yeah, and we have 11 new baby pigs. It's fun living on a farm. I think we're going to go help milk the cows one of these days.

Hope you all are doing well! Miss and love you lots!
