General Confrence weekend and Petrees name is actually John

our hike last pday was so fun and beautiful! 

We went and visited a Less active sister names Sister Crippen. Shes adorable. She has autism but she lives alone. her house is a mess and she thinks she has a stalker so she boards up her car so he cant get under it..... i feel so bad. She helped us board up her car. We went and visited a member. Shes the cutest old lasy, but she CAN paint! She showed us one of her recent paintings shes working on and HOLY!! it looks like something youd find at Deseret Book!! 
Our Recent Convert, Byron, took us to his friend to teach(Jack, Hes a cute old man). we talked for a few minuets and left nut i had a strong feeling that we should go back and talk to him more.. i didnt know what about but i told them and we went back. i didnt know what to say but the spirit did! he aked us to come back next week so we will see!

We had a family History night and helped Byron with starting his family History. Sister Weeks is a FH GENIUS!!!  a miracle happened. Like 30 names just popped up for him to do their work!! its insane! we are going with him to the temple next week and helping him with baptisms! i printed out a few names to do work for too! i cant wait to go to the temple! The Elders and us are planing a Easter Fireside, and were going to show the new Easter initiative that just came out. if you havent seen it, you should! its so awesome!! mormon.org

we had dinner at Grandma Carrs!! ok so Grandma Carr is a HOOT AND A HALF. if your in my family imagine Lana but as an old lady!! hahah also i hate mushrooms but she fed us some so i had to eat the,... so there ya go.. #adventurous!! funny story she told us about her chickens: she bought some chickens but one of them turned out to be a rooster so she named that one... Caitlyn Jenner.. hahahahha

we had ZTM (zone training meeting) this week too! we had it in Rapid City! i, unfortunately didnt get to see Mt. Rushmore this time but hopefully in 2 weeks i get to! when we got back we went and say a potential(now gator) named "petree" hes hard of hearing so we had to like YELL our lesson!! hahah But at the end he was like.. "actually my name is John" what.. hahah

General Conference was this weekend, as most of you know. IT was so GOOD! we watched all 4 sessions in the church . we were alone the saturday sessions but on the sunday ones we had 2 families with us. They fed us some lunch. so that was good! i liked how alot of the talks focused on teaching your kids always and having daily scripture study and prayer! those things are so important! it helps build your faith and testimony! i know i have grown alot since ive been on a mission and praying/studying constantly! 
Another thing i liked is that we cant be a part-time disciple of Chirst! we need to be All in and LOOK UP! Being a disciple of Chirst isnt about how many likes you get on a spiritual post, its your personal connection with Christ! and with faith He willl bless us! 
i was so happy we got to hear from our prophet! He is the true prophet of the earth today! 
on sunday after the sessions we had a lesson with a potential(now Gatorish) we started teaching him about the restoration, prophets and the Book of Mormon! He kept asking us questions like "where are the plates now?" he tried bashing us alot. Hes stubborn but we can see a potential in him. he seems open and willing. he set up an appointment with us to come back next week. a weird thing is that we claimed that he didnt know anything but called us LDS and pointed stuff out that we didnt teach yet, so thats weird. but got to remember Charity! hahah

I hope you are all doing great! remember to have Faith, be diligent, and be all in!
