Hey ya'll! I love ya'll so much!! i really enjoy all the pics!!! keep em coming. Annslie looks so cute in every pic haha especially the one when she's on the huge horse haha!!

 

this week was really crazy and really good!!! lots of cool stuff going on!!!!

 

on monday we had a good fhe with a less-active family and we talked about the atonement and we did the object lesson that bring everyone a donut and in order for them to get it someone has to do a certain amount of push ups! we had candy and i had to do 5 push ups for every person and there was more than 20 people...ahah. i think the most powerful part in that lesson is that when people saw how much i was doing and sweaty they say "no thanks i don't want one" then we tell them you get it anyway and i had to do the push ups. that part really helped them see that Christ has already paid the price and that they better use the Atonement! its a really powerful lesson if ya'll ever want to do it you should! :)

 

then on tuesday i went on another exchange. it was good, he's not the most obedient missionary so we just talked and i tried to help him. he leaves in oct so not much changing will be happening ...but he's still a good missionary. and we were going to our last appointment for the night and we were walking and we ran into one of the hermanas old investigator from bella vista who was a bout to get baptized but had to move out immediatly because of rent or whatever and she doesn't have a phone to she completly disappeared!!! until we ran into each other and she now lives in the zone i'm in! so hopefully she can get baptizrd and ready to go! it was a big miracle!

 

then wednesday another exchange and i went back to springlake!!! thats where i started my mission! i was surprised to see how many people still remembered me! it was nice! then we had soccer in the night and i played a little bit and scored!!! who!!!! a lot of people came up and were like wow your playing suprised us! i was like what...cuz i'm a gringo haha! good people! i was able to talk with edwin too! he's the one who works at robeks! love him!

 

then on thursday i went another one with elder wilson. it was good as well. all these exchanges are exhausting haha! but really fun! 

 

on saturday we had a baptism! her name is sonia and she is 60 years "young" and so nice! haha she;s like another grandma.  she is so sweet ahaha and so caring. she calls us "mi amor, mi vida" stuff like that haha! but her baptism was crazy hectic!!! there was a baptism before ours and we told them to leave the water in and they said ok! we go leave to have a quick lesson and we get back around 6:45 to check and the water is all empty and the baptism was supposed to start at 7.......yikes! so we put it on full blast, went to the kitchen to grabthe  really big garbage cans and started to fill them and pour them into the font. elder boucher got soaked ahaha! it was so hectic but it all ended well! it was one of those moments where  you just kinda scratch your head and laugh! :D
