Getting a little Muddy

Hello Everyone!!!
 I hope everyone is doing well getting back in the swing of things...All of the kids here are just back into school today...and I am hearing lots of whining haha jk...
This week has been crazy...It has rained a lot...all of the dirt streets turned into muddy messes and the majority of the dirt ran onto the paved streets so it was just a big ol muddy mess haha... Elder Wilson quite enjoyed it because he has missed the rain...apparently it rains a lot in Washington haha :) He was going through all of the puddles with his bike he was ¨Singing in the Rain¨ haha but all of that happiness ended when he got off his bike and realized the bike tire had sprayed mud up on his back and backpack...I got a pretty good kick out of it...haha I am glad that my bike is an older style that has little covers over the tires so that doesnt happen...haha 

This week we have finally been able to put together a few Family Home Evenings...Pres. Robinson has invited us to have a mini Family Counsel with the Active families of our branch and ask them a few of there family/friends that are members but are less active...and our invitation is that the Active families can be the missionaries for these less active members...So we have done it and we have had lots of success...We had a Family home evening this week with the Branch President and his family...They chose to help a one of their family members and his family who is quite inactive....We arrived to find the Presidents family the inactive family and about 20 other people ,family and friends, that came to help this one Inactive family...I was struck immediately with a wonderful spirit...In that house I bet there were 35 people singing, praying, sharing testimonies, and thanking God for this wonderful Gospel and for our wonderful families....I was one of these...That inactive family went to church with the help of everyone...We will keep on doing these Family home Evenings hopefully once every week for 6 months or when ever the family is completely reactive...

We have implimented this program with lots...we hope to keep on going with all of the Active members searching out long lost friends and family...

Here is my week in 2 paragraphs 
Love you all...

One boy wants to be a missionary so bad he begged us to take him...haha and so with the permission of his mother we took him around the block on our bikes...
