So Sister Shepherd is really great –But she did
not clean up her Facebook before coming on her mission (she did not have
internet at home) so we have been trying to clean it up and it is taking
forever! I cannot believe how much she
has posted on Facebook! Also, we tried to do it over at our main office and
the computers there are soo slow! I thought I was going to start tearing
my hair out or something. (But, I don’t need to loose any more hair) We
made it through alive ...mostly.... Also, my voice was so crazy this week!
I actually lost it at one point! Poor Sister Shepherd had to take
over, especially for ones that were later in the day because it got worse every
time I was talking. Oh well. Just trying to keep life interesting
for her. Also, we got to teach Stephanie
(a less active) and her two boys this week. They are the cutest!
During the lesson, Hayden all of the sudden says, "wait! I
have to ask my mom something before I forget!" Then he turns to his mom and says "I
don’t want to go to grandmas this weekend so I can go to church with you."
and both of the boys prayed out loud for the first time at the end of the
lesson. They are so cute! As we were leaving, Stephanie gave me
some cough drops and Hayden got all offended on my behalf "Mom! Why
did you give them cough drops? Those aren’t candy!!" They did
come to church on Sunday, but ended up going to our class with us and then we
went to primary with them. I think Hayden really enjoyed it though.
Also this week, we were on a street looking for
people to show the He is the Gift video to. And it was freezing! So
we hopped back in the car, and then I was like, wait, we have to go do the
house up there! So we got out of the car
and walked all the way up the hill and strait up to the door. When we
knocked, a lady from a car in the street rolled down her window and said,
"Do you need anything? That is my house." So we went to
talk to her and the missionaries had taught her 11 years ago! However,
her husband's brother passed away and they had gone to Mexico for the funeral.
Since they could not afford to pay the rent while they were gone, they
moved right when they got back home. So we have started teaching Betty :)
and her kids since they kept coming home from school! She has 5 kids and
all of them came to the Christmas party on Sunday :)
Stephanie and her boys also came to the
Christmas party and it was lots of fun! Even more fun was the set up we
had to do though ...On Saturday, we built this wooden frame and then had to get
this really heavy brown fabric to stay on it in order to make a stable.
So we used a whole lot of duct tape and staples. Only by the next
day, it had fallen down! So brother Leinbach brought his staple gun the
next day so we could get everything to stay up.
And figuring out the costumes was really fun! Sister Shepherd and
I played dress-up as we tried on all the costumes and tried to figure out what
people should wear. Anyway, Sunday was really fun since it was fast Sunday but
we were at the church when we could have been breaking our fast (brother
Leinbach wanted us there at 2:30) so when everyone got there with their
desserts and fruit, that was what we broke our fast with. Super healthy,
right? But the Bishop did a great job in the play. He was King Herod and
he looked kind of like Sauron :)
Also this week, we had gotten another bible
referral we went to see and when she opened the door, she invited us right in.
Turns out she is RLDS. It was kind of strange because you start
talking about Joseph Smith or the nature of God, how we pray, etc and she is
just like, yeah! That is SO true! It was really weird!
Definitely not the normal response we get!
Anyway, I hope y’all have another great week!
