Party and party and yeah!

This week was a blast! We had so many adventures aside from our

proselyting which made the week zoom by. Last Monday we went to an

amusement park called Knoebles. We got to hang out with other

missionaries for the day and had a blast riding on some fun roller

coasters. It was probably the best P day spent on my mission so far.

Sister Thompson also tried a funnel cake for the first time!

Apparently they don't have them up in Utah. 

There was also a local carnival this past week, so we used our dinner

break to go on some of the rides. It was really small, but still a fun

way to spend an hour. I love fairs and carnivals, but I think my

motion sickness has gotten worse because boy oh boy was my stomach not

too happy. I just sucked it up though because I was having too much

fun to let that get in the way.

After district meeting we had a pot luck and then a water balloon

fight. It's been hot this past week, and our district leader likes to

play games during that hour. It was so much fun and a nice little way

to cool down and best the heat. We got soaked, but it was a good thing

we brought a change of clothes! 

Besides all the fun, we did manage to do the regular missionary

shindig. We probably spent a good ten hours attempting to find people

this past week. There were some days when all our appointments fell

through so we hit the streets and tried to contact potential

investigators in the area. It's not the most glamorous thing to do,

but we were able to figure out that a majority of the people in our

record had moved. Sadly, there wasn't any success that came from

finding this past week, but eventually we will find some more people

to teach! 

Ju is continuing to do great. She said that she thinks this is what

she wants, but wants to be certain before she commits to being

baptized. We brought a lady from the branch along which was great

because she is starting to feel more and more comfortable with the

members here. 

We taught J a small lesson this week, and then helped him mow his

lawn and weed. It was really funny because Sister Thompson's legs were

too short to drive the mower so I got to mow the whole thing while she

weeded. We sure make a good combo because I don't fancy weeding but

she loves it! I'll stick to driving the lawn mower any day haha 

Not much to report with R, S, or A, but slowly they are

making progress.

We had MLC and Stake Conference this week, so it was one full of

meetings but they were all great. I was able to recommit myself to

being a better missionary at MLC which was great. It was also so

refreshing to attend church with a normal sized chapel that was full.

There is such a better spirit when the congregation is bigger, and I

really missed that environment so it was a nice treat from the small

branch. We had Elder Dunagan from the 70 come and he did a great job

at motivating everyone to get to the temple. I cannot wait to take an

investigator to the Philadelphia open house, especially since this

could be my only opportunity to go to the temple while on my mission.

Right after we got soaked on the log ride. We dried off

super fast because it was nice and warm. Closest thing to

swimming on my mission!

Post water balloon fight.

Of course I had to take advantage of a pot

luck with fried chicken by wearing my Amish straw hat!
