this week was pretty good!! i got a tan line(tannish because im super white) on my feet from my shoes!! so theres that!
ok so monday was amazing!!! we had dinner at a non-members(we get fed by more non members or Less actives than we do actual active members). we made pizza! they said they dont want to join our chuch but they want the community to be more united? The dude made me go get his coffee.. it was so awk. lol i was like.. YO i dont want to get you coffee cause its wrong! lol but i did it anyways. We then had a lesson with Domingo!! this lesson was so awesome! the spirit was so strong! we had been listening to the BOM on cd and has gone through like 4 of them. at the end of the lesson we asked if we would want to be baptized and he said yes! and then we invited him to pray, he did.. with our help. and then he said "so when can i be baptized?" we put DOMINGO ON DATE FOR THE 20~!!!!
i dyed sis. D'vaz hair too! it was so fun!
Tuesday we had a lesson with Bill Coutts, and Sister Krum came.. it was so bad. us sisters didnt get any word in and sister krum kept talking.. Bill is the type of person to ask deep questions but not listen sometimes. it was just ....#charity we went out tracting and drew a picture of the Plan of Salvation in chalk at the park! that was fun! we went and watched half of the Joseph smith movie with Sister Crippen. we visited a new LA that we found and had institute:)
Wednesday we visited sister Owen and we talked about the the Holy Ghost and we sang her Joseph first prayer to her. i love that lady! we taught Domingo again, we talked about faith and repentance. we did some cool activities that included tea bags, a lighter , water , salt and pepper! he really likes those kind of things! we helped him pray again. We went to the family history class at the church and Bill came! so that was cool!
Thursday we went out trying to find people for a bit. Sister Deams ( a cute older lady) called us crying so we went to her apt. she is struggling with alot of things and we shared with her a message. we watched the video called " the Savior understands me" we couldnt stop crying.it reminded me of a scripture in alma that God is mindful of all His people no matter what land they be in. he loves us and knows us!
Friday we went and visited a LA and we read The scripture i mentioned in the previous paragraph. That is so far one of my favorite scriptures this week. this day wasnt so exciting. we had District meeting in Sturgis. we caught a ride with Elder Porter/Spillett.
we did an activity where we were blind folded and had to try to walk in a straight line.. o dont even know why we did it though. haha
saturday we went to Teras Volley Ball game and BHSU. that was fun! we didnt get any pictures unfortunately. but it was fun! we went and helped Sister Stednick clean her house and shave her dog. yes we/she shaved her St. Bernards. let me tell ya it was hard, and we got sooooooo hairy...*insert barf noise* hahah we then had a lesson with Brother Davied(the lesson was at the Stednicks) we talked about agency and how we need to follow Chirst. He stared smoking again and is still drinking coffee. we yelled at sister weeks and said hes not ready to change and will let us know when he is.
sunday we went and knocked on Domingos door to get him to church,, short story, he wasnt home and didnt come. Bill Coutts "respectfully declined our offer" to come to church. i gave my talk on the WOW. it went good. i was so so nervous but i felt the spirit and the spirit directed me. its crazy how that happens. faith is so important along with that! faith in Jesus Christ and His atonement and having faith that the Holy Spirt will help guid and direct you. we then had a lesson and dinner at the Stednicks with Bill Coutts. we watched the Joseph Smith movie and had Deer and salad for dinner. He didnt really pay attention to the movie. He then told us that he didnt want to join our church yet, but still wants to learn more? our purpose is to invite others to come unto christ and be baptized. we dont know what to do .. we dont feel like we should drop him just yet so we will see how this wee goes. we then went to the bishops fireside with the youth. they aske dus questions about missions and how we prepared to go on one. it was fun! we got ice cream too so yay!! Bishop Bucholz is soooo sassy!! probs one of my favorites. besides Bishop Hancock for sure tho.. the sisters havent been able to get into his home for dinner or lesson, BUT with me we will!! we get alot sooo well! hahahah we then taught a lesson at the Seyersdalhs. they are members. we talked about how reading the scriptures are important and how it can help the spirit stay in your home. we commited them to take the lesson from us. so we can practice and they can feel the spirit!:)
thank you all for your love and support! i love you all!! time is flying by so fast! ITS SOOO CRAZY!!

Sister stednick took us to culvers that was in Spearfish(like 15 min away) and we see this container in front of our door. it had a note on it that said "we made extra and thought of you love the Bucholz family" so we were like YAY BISHOP ACTUALLY LOVES US!! we go inside and open it and guess. what. was. in. it... a SNAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
