Hello Mom and Family!
This past week has been both crazy and hot.. Mainly hot and these people don't have AC.... Anyway I'll get into my week!
On Wednesday we met with Susan and Japhet and taught her the 10 commandments and such. We put her on date for baptism for the 22nd but we ended up pushing it back farther on Monday night after assessing where she's at and how ready she is. We also had supper with the Konoskys.. A single mom with a boy and boyfriend. She is super awesome and we help her a lot with her front yard. Anyway, she invited her friend Bill over as well who isn't a member. We ended up teaching the restoration and he liked it. So technically he's a new investigator but not at the same time. He doesn't live in our boundaries.
Thursday morning we went to the doctors office for Elder Pyles because he's had a rash on his arm for months. Turns out he has a history of eczema and it was just a flair up. Also we met with the lady who we cut cut down her forest of weeds and taught the restoration. She's had the lessons before and had a date to be baptized but her husband decided to divorce her and that set her back. She says that she's ready now so who knows what will happen there. So that is a new investigator for us!
Friday was a monumental day for Lethbridge.. It was the hottest recorded day ever in August, and tied for the hottest day ever back in 1886! And I can say that I was here on that day! Also, going back to how these people have no AC.. I roasted so many people on not having AC it was so funny. They were all complaining about the heat and I was just like "If you guys had AC you wouldn't be having this problem" it was so funny. We also had dinner with the Smiths who are a young newly married couple and we had tacos in a bag.. Amazing. And amazing cornbread.
Saturday we were invited to a brunch with a young couple in our ward that we like, he's from Utah and she's from here and they met while on their mission in Halifax Canada. They are so awesome. Then we helped a family in our ward move out. The move took literally all day and my arm still hurts.. Lol. But the mom reminded me so much of Aunt Krystal! She's so funny and I'm sad they moved out of our ward!
Sunday was our ward council day so you can imagine how that went.. It was a long day!
Monday we had District Council Meeting and it was uneventful. But Elder Kretchmann is going home Tuesday morning so we will be taking him to the bus station early in the morning on Tuesday. Idk if I told you guys, but he trained Elder Walker so in mission terms, Elder Kretchmann is my grandpa.... So we went to lunch and let him enjoy his last night. Oh and we had another lesson with Susan and Japhet. Susan was taking a nap so we talked to Japhet about the prophet and his apostles. The Susan woke up so we taught her the rest of the commandments. They are literally some of my favorite people ever! Haha!!
Chris our investigator hasn't been around lately so we haven't been able to meet with him. Pretty much he was taught everything in the past but he couldn't quit smoking. Then he quit smoking for 2 years by using some medication. Then stress hit him and he went back to smoking. So basically he's in a money crunch so he can't pay for the meds but as soon as he can, he's gonna get baptized (whether or not that's while I'm here) but he has good support so it will happen.
Anyway that was kinda my week. It's hard writing emails because I can't relate the stories of what happens but I'll have some good stories for when I come home! Take care and I pray for you all, all the time! Love you guys!
