July 10, 2017

Well,,, we had a conversation last night with our DL Elder Madsen and it was kinda funny! 

sister Will and i started laughing cause i got sharpie on my face and E. Madsen said "Hey sister Florek, what color is your hair?" 

me"uh....... blonde?"

E. Madsen"OH yeah, thats right.. "  noob

ANYWAYYSS, This week was full of walking and walking. in 110 degree weather. it was so hot, it is already 90 once it hits 9. we are melting. also my camera did too.  We did some service at the museum again aswell. thats always fun. If you ever by chance find yourself in Belle Fourche, SD you should go to the Center of the Nation museum. its great!  

We saw a few members this week, there was a stake temple trip so most of the were gone, and sadly we couldnt go with them on that trip. But thats all good. we Saw Leslie and Teresa! They both came to church yesterday! so that was awesome! the whole time ive been here ive seen Teresa at church once! so i was so excited to see her! We had dinner with Sister Deems, the baileys and the Wehrungs! i love the Wehrungs and all of their crazy kids! At the Wehrungs we were all just talking, as you do, and the Wehrungs started talking about a 3 week trip that they are taking next summer and ask me to watch their kids for them. i was like oh yea!! so that might happen next year.. We also had an awesome fish fry with the Stednicks! they caught a whole bunch of Catfish and Walleye and fried it up for us! sooo yummy!! 

For the 4th of July we got to watch the Belle Fourche city parade! it was so fun and long! so many people too! like i have never seen so many people before. There was a car that drove by that was just TRUMP... yep. that night at like 945 we called our DL cause we had a question. Turns out we were allowed to stay out til 1030 that night to watch fire works, but no one decided to tell us so we just were like oh.. well.. we cant now. we just watched them from afar from our window. 

We tracted alot. we froze some water bottles so that we wouldnt die, of course. I spilt salt all over the Asparagus i was cooking the other day too. 

We got sister crippen to come to the church for our lesson this time! so that  was an accomplishment! 

something in my studies i have been studying alot, as you may know, is Christlike attributes! and something that i learned is that if we really concentrate on trying to walk the way He walked, loving, caring, serving, and obeying each step of the way, one day we'll look up and discover that His path has led us directly to the throne of God! how cool is that. As we just focus on Him and fully submitting our will to Him we will find our selves "at the throne of God" As we do that we will see that our actions become more disciplined, our relationships become more righteous; even our language becomes more pure as we live a life that is centered on Jesus Christ and His teachings!

Our hope and faith are rooted in the profound understanding that He lives today, and that He continues to lead and guide us and His church through His spirit.

I hope you guys have a great week! i love and miss you all!
