zone conference, and alot of cleaning!

Well, i wrote out my email and accidentally pushed delete .. sooo great! 

We havent met with Domingo since our last visit. we just got one call from him this week. it wasnt a good one. He told us that his family told him that they dont want him getting baptized and he said he didnt know what to do so he basically just dropped us....  we tried calling him all week but no answer.. we stopped by his house acouple of times.. no answer. we were supposed to have a lesson this week with his to, but he didnt show.. so sad! but i know that in the Lords timing all will work out! 

We had to deep clean the Elders apt. this week. We, thankfully, had the help of a cute senior couple, Elder and Sister Winward. but with the 4 of us it took 6 hours!! yep you read that right.. 6!!! but it had to get done.. you becha we talked to Elder Spillet at Zone Conference.. lololo jk!

We had a good lesson with sister Crippen! i almost burnt her house down. that probs would have been fine because she has a TON of big spiders crawling around.. We did a demo with a sticky note, a erasable pen, and a lighter. we talked about Christ Atonement. On the sticky note you write their name, and you talk about how in life we go through trials we make mistakes, and all of that. that when you scribble on the paper with that erasable pen. then you talk about how with the help of the savior
​and through Him we can receive forgiveness and comfort. Cause he know exactly how we are feeling and whats going on. He wants to help us!! ​ so you take the lighter and but the flame behind the paper and the heat will take away the ink of the scribbles. it was so cool. but i burt like half of the paper.. but oh well! 

We saw a few members too.   we got fed by a few of them too. but not a whole ton. 

The referral i think i told yall about last week from the Black Hills ward elders.. we met with one of the. his name is Chirs. It was a crazy, hectic lesson. his brother just committed suicide and it was just all over the place. we ended up sharing some scriptures and talkng about how through Christ we can feel comfort.. we just have to ask for His help. Jacob 3:1

The Wehrungs little daughter got baptized this week!  she was so cute! we ended up filling up the font for them. it was when we were on exchanges so i took over the area with Sister Feeney! that was fun too! we had chalk and drew the Plan of Salvation at the park! we tracted alot too. lots of Doors slammed, some BOMS handed out, some cards handed out, and laughter! 

we had Zone Conference today! us and the Pierre Zone had a combined ZC. it was so great cause alot of the missionaries i served with in Minot my first area were there cause they got transferred to the Pierre zone! it was so much fun and great to see familiar faces! Elder Hamblin from my MTC district is now in my zone, so i was super happy to see him again! President Stacy from my mission presidency had a training about mosquito and ticks!! the worst training every.. lol jk it was just gross!! Sister Hess also gave a training about teaching repentance. She had two companionships come and role play infront of EVERYONE>. and guess who she picked.. Sister Kotter and I.Sister Kotter is in my Zone. It was so scary!! ugh but it went okay! We taught the Word of Wisdom to and "investigator".. mad that was scary, but thanks to the spirit, i didnt fail! 
 
We are starting to see alot of bikers come! its soo cool!

A lesson we like to teach to members and LA is Alma 50. its about when Moroni fortifies the land of the Nephites. they dig up heaps of earth and put timbers and pickets and towers around their city. we like to make it towards us and our families. and we need to protect our selves from the lamenites(satan) , so we like to ask what is our heaps of earth, pickets, and timbers? they are going to church, BOM, Bible, sacrament, following all the commandments, prayer, tithing and fasting, FHE, ect. and the towers, or the watchmen are you know, Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, the Holy Ghost, and the Prophet and Apostles.  so there are alot of commandments and things we are given that we need to use to help protect us from the adversary, and sometimes we dont do some things, so thats when satan can get in and hurt us or our families. so i challenge you to pick a fortification that you are struggling with and to work on it. cause i know that  when we do our testimonies will grow stronger! i promise you that! 

I LOVE YOU AND AND THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT! if you want im open to getting letters;) haha

have a great week and memorial day!
