Weeding at the wedding

Dear everyone :)

im so bad at journaling and so i cant even remember it all and i only have like 30 minutes to do this all before the library closes soooo lemme see

MONDAY: we did hair and and board games with r :) stayed there for alot of the day... HAVE I MENTIONED THAT I LOVE HER???? well i do. i love the p's i love the p's i love the p's. yes. so that was great :) annnnnd i believe we had supper there to.. ha yes we did.. we were there a while :) how i love them

tuesday:

r had a skirt party that we took a to :) cuuuute skirts.. i did buy one.. only one.. boy it is cute.. i will have to send pics... prolly the cutest skirt in my closet... sister w be jelly. haha jk she got a cute skirt to :)

then we had a GREAT lesson with a at the park and the c's came to... (they are less active but they know a and it was cool to see them want to help her) annnd we talked all about baptism and although she is not on date she is progressing wonderfully. she reads the book of mormon everyday.. annotates it and everything.. and she listens to it on her phone to read along to and takes it with her to work.... HOW COOL IS THAT!!!!!??? AND it made her cry in 1 nephi 11 when it talks all about the atonement.. SHE REALLY INTERNALIZES EVERYTHING :) what a doll she is... anyways during the lesson we read mosiah 18 and i asked her what she would answer if the SAVIOR was the one asking her those questions... :) (it was a great question ) annnnd she said well i know i need to be baptised i just need to figure out when.. so SHE is going to find the right date.. were gonna help her with thtat tho :) but then it started to rain so the c's drove A home and we realized our car was still at the p's from the skirt party....(we had walked to the park with a') ANNNNND it started to monsoon on us.. like TORRENTIAL DOWN POUR PEOPLE... I COULDNT EVEN SEEEEEEEEEEE and we had to run like 2 blocks to the palskys hahahahaha by the time we arrived we were soaked to the bone and freezing.. so they let us dry off at their house :) that was fun :)

wednesday: we spent basically the whole day out at the r ranch weeding and shoveling rotten hay and poo. it was great :) seriously i have MISSED getting my hands dirty and just working hard and not really THINKING about it :) we made GREAT friends with j, the r's niece... (she is 7th day adventist) and we are going to church with her on saturday and she is coming with us on sunday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! her husband , d, is seriously the funniest person i think i have ever talked to.. HILLARIOUS. my cheeks hurt whenever i am around them :) LOVE THEM!!! then we went to supper with c and j(j is a new investigator for us.. but been investigatting for a while) and their friend b (who just STARTED INVESTIGATING :):):):) ) AND WE WENT  out to j's farm and played with little piggies and fed some fish and then picked raspberries.. i felt like i was in a western movie :) hahaha...

anyways friday was like the best day of my life cause we just went out and gathered hay bales all day and stacked them into giant hay couches and chairs and tables.. and it was stinkin hard but SOOOOO FUN :) and i got hay slivers all up my arm and my legs and arms are DEAD AND SO SORE but like i said... FUNNEST EVER... we also might have tried to unicycle and do a few backflips on their trampoline. HA!! so fun :)

Saturday .. went out to j's and helped her make some fairies for her fairy garden :) i showed her how to make the sculpey clay people like grandmom does :) THEY WERE SO CUTE!!! then out to the r ranch to set up the tent and lights and lanterns and table cloths and flowers and EVERYTHIGN :) we (sister w and i) were in charge of keeping the goats ahahhaha.. i have a funny video of us leading our goat to the "promised land" haha...

the reception was BEAUTIFUL.. we helped serve all the food which meant we MET EVERYONE AND TALKED WITH EVERYONE... :D everyone wanted to know who we were and what missions were and a ton of people were from cardston and lethbridge so they had alot of mormon friends and now none of them are scared of missionaries :):):) also we had a GREAT conversation with r and s and j.... i can not WAIT to start teaching them all :) plus also r reminds me so much of scotty droubay! haha :) he is the best!
