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...
Elder ChildOne 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...
