Week 59

dear family,

This week....yep you guessed it. It was good. It was actually great. Why, the fourth of July!! And I got to go back to Clinton.

The week was pretty busy, we saw tons of people and found a few new investigators. Tuesday I went to Clinton to surprise Sister Scott for her birthday. We drove half way to meet the clinton sisters and one of my other favorite families drove the clinton sisters so I got to talk to her the whole way home. It was awesome. Then in Clinton I was serving with Sister Carter who is also one of my favorite sisters because she is so funny. We went to where Sister scott was at and surprised her and it was so funny. She was so happy. Then we saw a few investigators there and were able to visit a few families. Then we had a birthday bbq party for sister scott. It was a lot of fun. Then the next day we went to another 4th of july bbq at one of the other families we used to see and then we changed back. We got back to Meridian and went to yet another bbq with the bishop and a few other families in the ward. It was a ton of fun. We had to be in early that night so we didnt stay for too long but it was fun. 

Thursday we were able to teach one guy a little bit and then we saw a few other ward members. Then the rest of the week we saw more members and found 2 new investigators. They seem really nice. We were trying to  contact this lady who ordered something off mormon.org so we were going to deliver it to her and then I decided to try the people next door and they took a Book of Mormon and said we can come back. It was pretty exciting. Then we also decided to go to a store and look around and we found two people there. So shopping/looking is a great finding tool.

We went to the carousel again this week because Sister Richards had never been. I love that thing. They have a carousel in the mall and it costs 3 dollars and it is little and stupid, this one is old and awesome and costs 50 cents and we paid for two rides. The guy was really nice and let us go extra long on the second ride.

Church was good on sunday. They talked alot about the importance of the book of mormon. No one is showing up for our book of mormon class still, so maybe this will help them. The lessons in relief society have all been about missionary work too so it is great.

Also I still have not met or talked to the mission president. I think at the end of the week we may get to meet him...so far it just feels like we dont have a president.

So last night. I went out to our kitchen/ dining area to put something away and on the wall was a giant huge roach. It was sick nasty. So naturally I run in the room screaming for Richards to come kill it.  Well she comes in gets a jar and tries to catch it. She is crazy. She says she has never caught one before. My thoughts...yeah usually because a roach isnt something you just want to catch and keep for a pet... Any way after what seems like forever and a million screams later she finally catches it and it is not in a jar in our apt. Sick nasty. 

This week hopefully we will get to see the president this week. I dont know what else we have planned but it will be a good one. Also please please write. I hate having an empty mail box day after day after day. It is depressing. I love you all.
