SO this week was very eventful. Patricks baptism didnt happen this which week which is ok, there are some things that we have to work through with his families support, but hes still so awesome. WE had a great day with a lady named Evon.
We were going down the area book and lookinga t people who had met with the missionaries in the past and we came across this lady in her 80"s named Evon we stopped by and had a chat and we set up a time to come back, she is so weet, at first though i thought she was probably just a lonely lady who wanted company more than like actually meeting with us to learn and to meet with the missionaries, but she humbled me pretty quick, the lesson was amazing, the spirit was so strong and she criesd almost the whole time! IT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!! SHe came to church and loved it!! we have a whole row of ladies her age that sit in the back row of the soft seats and they all just welcomed her in, it wqas awesome she said that she had never felt so loved in her whole life nad especially in a church. I think thats what a lot of people dont realize is how much the congregations we have are wan extended family, we take care of each other, she called us during the singles branch and i stepped out and she told me how much she lovwed church and how she knows Elder Beyeler and I how much we mean to her and how shes never understood the stuff so well and how she knows we were sent on our misisons especially for her and that we had changed her life forever!! Seriously there has not been one single moment on my mission where I have felt so humbled, i feel that she is someone that I told before that I would come find! Among the many that i feel that way for she is definelty one of them, O love her! its also made me feel super guilty for not qriting back my two grandmas and my extended grandmas in the ward and sister hughes and gramm joyce... I love them all so much.
Especially my two grandmothers how awesome are they! they both are so talented and are full with love, that is one thing that I look forward to being able to do again, seeing my two beautiful grandmas and hug them and see them, they are amaziing. HAppy Valentines day grandmas! (and everyone else too)
So that was the best part of the week probably Bianca just go tback from lake tahoe so we will meet with her a couple times this week as she awaits her baptism this sunday, we played ball this morning and she brought her bf Addison hes super nice, i just love it here so much, o and we got to go to the temple which was way good, i was able to speak at church too which is always fun, it was on finding the lsot sheep i told howGpa is always looking for the lost cattle and he is so happy when he finds them and how he is always looking for the lost cattle and how he was probably out on his horse looking for them, I love out here, the mission continues to grow and grow on me. '
I LOVE YOU ALL!!
