This week was full of exciting experiences! I don't have my planner with me, so I'll try to remember what happened.
- The family we live with went out of town, so we took care of their animals. They have chickens and we had the blessed opportunity to go collect eggs every day. It was gross and smelled nasty. I felt like Napoleon Dynamite.
- We started covering 2 new English wards and the Bishop of the 8th ward invited us to come help them with their cows. They were branding them, giving them shots, and all that other cow stuff. It definitely was a different experience. It smelled even more disgusting than the chickens. We had to herd them and I've never been more scared. Huge cows racing towards you is slightly terrifying. I tried to give a cow a shot and ended up accidentally poking myself with the needle. Nice. It's ok though, I'm just more healthy than everyone else.
- We went on exchanges. This was a more difficult exchange, but I learned a lot from it! We also were able to teach a few great lessons in Spanish. I am so grateful to be Spanish called! I love the people and the language.
- We spent the night at one of our Ward Mission Leader's home because of some weird things going on in our zone. They are the sweetest family. Sister Hunt got up to make us biscuits and gravy. She is the sweetest! We are so spoiled here.
- We had dinner with a family in the branch and they invited a less active family. It was such a fun dinner! We couldn't breath afterwards because of all the food they served us, but it was definitely worth it.
- We had a solid lesson with Maria and Abel! I absolutely love this family! The Spirit was so strong during that lesson. We had a member with us who does not speak Spanish. She bore her testimony in English. Maria and Abel said that is when they felt the Spirit the most. It just proves that the Spirit speaks to each of us, no matter what language we speak.
That's about all I can remember. We mostly did a bunch of contacting in our new wards this past week. I am loving it out here! Teaching people about Jesus Christ has brought me so much happiness. I hope you all have an awesome week full of missionary opportunities! Love y'all tons!
