Oh man, what even happened this week? Apparently the longer you are out the more the days just blur together. Ok i am going to try to come up with five interesting things to tell ya'll...This may be rough.

1. TWUBLE: So awkward moment when you get a call from the Mission President at 10:15 at night. Then he tells you that people in the Branch have been complaining to him that we are too young and energetic....that happened to us. Pres. was all like i don't know why this is a thing but you guys are awesome and just try to be on your guard around members. So know we have to be those boring missionaries. Yuppie. Who complains about missionaries being too energetic? Thats just silly.

2. SATAN BUG: Another late night story. I was lying in bed and i saw a black spot that isn't usually there. So I ask Hna. Moses what it is and she doesn't know so we turn on the light and its this HUGE mutant centipide thing! Seriously it was huge and scary and i would have prefered it was a spider! So we sprayed it with pesticide and squished it with a broom but it was still alive! So we put it on a plate and squirted hand sanitizer on it and lit it on fire! It was very satisfactory.

3.MELISSA: Melissa is an investigator that we have been working with for a long time. She hasn't been progressing so we went over to drop her the other night. Well, that didn't happen. We get there and have a lesson and we start talking about trials and she tell us how she is so stressed about life and is having all these problems and she can't sleep and she broke down in tears and it was awful. Well i had the thought to get her a blessing so we told her about them and asked if she wanted one. She said yes so i called the Branch President and he came over with another member and they gave her a blessing. It was super powerful. After the men left she asked us when she could be baptized! We told her to pray about a date. The next day she called us and said she had the best sleep of her life and she felt so much better and she wishes she could have a blessing every week! haha so needless to say we are still working with her and the blessing was just the push she needed to start progressing!

4.FLEAS: So we were at a beloved members home for dinner and she told us that her new kitten had fleas. We examined the kitten and he was covered in them! So nasty!!! Hermana Moses offered for us to give him a flea bath and to get all the fleas off. So we did. We scrubbed the little guy with flea shampoo and picked off every single flea and then scrubbed him again. It worked like a charm! It was quite an adventure! We now offer ammeture pet grooming with every Book of Mormon given:P

5.SUICIDE PREVENTION: The other night we got a call from a beloved member saying she was at the square and she was going to kill herself. Well we live across the street from the square so we ran over there and had a nice long talk with her. We went through ethos, pathos, and logos and used those to reason why she shouldn't kill herself. It worked and by the end of our hour and a half with her she was laughing. So we drove her home and made her promise to text us what she had for breakfast in the morning. She had a cinnamon taster strudel in case you were wondering. It was a pretty intense night.

So yep that was my week. Not a lot of exciting missionary stuff but definitly not a boring week. As far as missionary work we are just doing a lot of knocking. This area is not receptive to missionaries but hey, were just gonna keep on trying:) Anywhoozles, I LOVE AND MISS YOU ALL!!!! Until next time...xoxoxoxoxoxo Hermana Rice
