Week 26 - Food...Too Much... (4/24/2017)

So this week has been a very productive week and quite an interesting week. We've been getting work done left and right at times it's hard to keep up. Starting on Monday, we had a nice meet with a Part Member Family in the ward and got to talk with them and discern how we could help them. It'll be fun being able to help them. Then Tuesday rolled around. on Tuesday we did a lot of contacting and visits. Only were able to get a few people contacted, but none of the less still work done. We had English class that night so I could become better with my English. For at the moment, it's not really good. Got to help translate some things cause one of our investigators is going to see the Idaho Falls Temple Rededication with a Member and that has us excited!! On Wednesday they changed our District meeting to that day so we were there learning and things like that. We then went to contact again some more people, but came short to what we had in mind. But we did catch someone we've been looking for in a very long time. We both had this impression we should at least try this person so we did. We knocked and accidently knocked on the wrong door. I grabbed the directory and started to look for the name of the son cause he is listed there. I found out the address and we were one door away. We got out of the car and when we were, his son was just getting back from Mutual with a friend and it was perfect timing. We almost went home, but decided to look again. So we met with the dad on the front door and talked for quite awhile. It was a really good discussion and had a really good get to know you kinda deal. It worked out in the end and he wants us to come back. That had us excited!! On Wednesday we got a little crazy! We went to Seminary again!! This time to follow up with the Seminary students to see how they were doing with Sharing the Prince of Peace! They were doing pretty well and had enjoyed it. And luckily for us, they were having Mission Week. Where they were preparing themselves for missions by obeying some of the mission rules. It was pretty awesome and right after that we went to do service in our nice clothes. We were helping a member put up some fencing around his house which was quite fun. Then we went and had a really good first lesson with two new investigators!! YAYAYA!! We met with them and Shared the Prince of Peace video with them cause it works all year round. It is a gift that keeps giving! On Friday it was the same deal! We went to Seminary and right back to doing service with the one member. We then met with a less active family in the ward and talked with them till we had to go home. Saturday was our most exhausting day ever. On Saturday we did a lot of service for people. We first started off with the Quintero Family who are investigators and we helped them move in their new stove and clean out a carborater with the help of a member(Mainly him doing it cause he knew how). Then we helped out another investigator moving some pipes along her house so she [can] water her lawn. Then after that to help another investigator clean up his yard and mow his lawn. So we felt achieved and very, very tired. We ended the night with the Declo First ward youth fundraiser/auction. We had one of our investigators show up and we talked with him for a long time and saw him enjoy the auctioning going on. IT was intense!! On Sunday, it was church all day and meetings all day. 3 Wards is difficult to cover at times, but it is a true blessing. Well That is it for my week. I love you all and hope all is well with you at home!! Enjoy your week everybody!! Sigue Fuerte
