There is no joy that can compare with that of a missionary who has been made the instrument for the salvation of a soul. -- Orson F. Whitney

So this week, we got a frantic text from one of our less-actives telling us that her girls had lice and could we come help her clean? So we went to help her clean her house and her girls, Emma and Ana LOVE the missionaries!  Anytime they see us, they run up for hugs. Only they have lice.  I did NOT want a hug from them!  And they were running around like crazy and jumping around and when we finally left, we were sure we had lice.  So far, no sign of any but I feel a little paranoid...
Also strange moment of the week, so we went to go visit a sister in our ward who is in a rehabilitation center.  And as we were visiting, a doctor came in and it was really strange because it was Brother Merrell from Summerfield!  Super strange to see him there!  But I guess he had recognized me and come to say hi.
And I loved the women’s meeting!!  So amazing!  I loved the primary girls singing in Korean!  And I was sitting next to Christelle (she is a recent convert that moved to our ward.  She is from the Congo and speaks French and only a little English) and thought that having sisters from around the world talk about temples in different languages was really neat.  Christelle really perked up when they were speaking in French!
We also had a really great lesson this week with Danielle.  We met at the Hamilton’s home (the sweetest old couple ever!) and talked about obedience, pray often, and scripture study.  It was amazing how much the spirit was there!  When we meet in a home centered in Jesus Christ instead of a smoke-filled apartment, there is a huge difference!
I hope y’all are having a blessed week!

Went to cookout-their shakes are pretty good!


Stroller...So we got it from former investigators
who we helped move, but it smelled awful- 
So we took it apart, washed it and managed 
to get it back together!
