MT. Rushmore, TiWi:( Easter!

this week was so much fun! besides the fact that we got Tiwis in our cars!! i hate driving now.. lol
but i think we might be safer.. we are the last mission in the US. to get them.  
monday was the funnest pday ever! we played some pod ball and it got soo intense!! we plaed ball and alot of other games!! needless to say.. we were so sore the next few days
we had dinner that night at a members(Stednicks) and we had Shrimp and Venison(dear) it was so good! we taught our Gator Bill, it went okay.. there was alot of tension.. he asks questiong in a like rude way.. i dont know. but hes slowly progressing. 
on tuesday we helped Sister Jones with baking and cooking for stuff for their YW fundraiser that night! it was so fun to bake for a bit! we went and saw Sister Crippen(Autistic LA) Shes adorable! we talked to her about the spirit world and strengthening her faith. we talked to Byron on the phone... he is still MIA in utah.. (as of now he is moved there) HE still doesnt have the priesthood and doesnt answer out texts and calls. we went to the yw fundraiser and helped with that. it was fun! 
wednesday was good! We went and taught an elderly member, Sister Owen. We read Alma 50 and came up with ways that we could protect our families and ourselves from Satan. how to buid up our city! we ran into Devon again. we taught him more a bout the restoration.. when we were talking about Joseph Smith he was like "oh that dude who was trippin in the woods?" hahahah yes Devon..... him.... he then made an analogy that included Devon and i dating and stuff...... omg it was weird. we handed him over to the elders. they can deal with him.  we had a lesson with Domingo!! finally! we taught the first half of the plan of salvation! he understood it and he actually prayed(with our help tellin ghim what to say) at the end of the lesson! the spirit was so strong! go Domingo! we went and had dinner at the Chinese Garden, a member from Wyoming was there and he paid for it! we then gave sister weeks a makeover.. i did her makeup and Sister D'vaz did her hair. we are trying to convince her to get straight across bangs! 
thursday we pulled weeds at Leslie and thereasas house. Theresa gave us some onion buds to plant and some flowers. Sister whatley fed us lunch:) we had our interviews with President Hess. Sister Hess is so cute btw! i love her!! President told us that Sister Weeks and i will most likely stay as comps here in Belle next transfer. so yay! we left for rapid this night too.
friday we had Zone Confrence in Rapid City. last night we had a sleep over at the Sister Training leaders. so that was fun. I got to see Elder Hamblin(in my district in the MTC) so that was fun and cool!  WE WENT TO MT RUSHMORE!!! IT WAS SO AWESOME!! i brought my president socks and took a pic with them on there! that was the highlight of my week! we drove back home and got home at like 9pm.
saturday we went and saw a less active names Terra. shes a college student. We talked about Jesuss atonement and watched the new easter video! The spirit was so strong and she opened up to us! She started crying. love her! we weekly planned since we were busy thursday and friday. then we drove back down to Rapid City with the stednicks for the stake easter devotional. Bill, our gator, came and we gave him a tour of the church there. he liked it. he aslo gave us flowers for easter. what a gem.. lol jkjkjkjk we finally got someone to have us over for easter. we had to beg our bishop to find someone for us. we had dinner at a restaurant called the Pacific Rim. its a mixed asian place. i got Pad Thai. that place is so good!
Sunday happy easter! Bishop asked me to give a talk next sunday on word of wisdom.. now thats a topic.  we, and the Elders had dinner(at 1pm) at the Carrs. it was sooooo good! we then came home did our studies and stuff. sister weeks started getting sick so she took an 1.5 hour nap and we did comp study and talked about how we can help her. we had anxiety and is struggling. we helped her with that.  We went to Leslie and theresas to give them a lesson. they are not progressing or showing any desire to change.. they say they smoke and drinking coffee but show no sign of guilty ness or want to change. like they act like its okay to do so. we went there to drop them. Leslie yelled at sister weeks so that didnt help her much. the spirit took over and i threw down. haha we drove to Spearfish so that the Elders could give sister weeks a blessing. we ended up waiting for 1.5hours for them at the park. but we got to finish weekly planning. it was good. 
Sister D'Vaz and i found out we like the same things.. one being One Direction. and Asian food! 

p.s. i have alot of pics this week!
