Another week gone by

well im just slacking on my group emails oh well
 we got transfer calls this week and we are both staying so we are excited about that. we poured cement on Tuesday that was fun and now i could do it if i wanted to but its hard stuff holy cow. we also had an awesome lesson with Jennifer and we are introducing more people to her which is really good.
   Wednesday we had an awesome lesson with a less active sister who is amazing and has such a strong testimony its great.we tried a ton of people that day and got cussed out by someone because he doesn't want anything to do with the church life of a missionary some days...
   Thursday we weekly planned a long time and everyone cancelled because it snowed that day and guess what i drove in it and everyone is still alive so that's a success.also i hit 9 months that day wohoo!
   Friday we had district meeting and it was really good holy cow. then we tried this less active.. now this was interesting she was reading us and apparently we are seers and i have felt the devil and seen him... we weren't sure what to do or say like the entire time..... then we saw some people before dinner and it was good.we also went to lunch to celebrate my 9 month and sister wrights 1 year mark it was yummy.
  Saturday was busy we had a meeting and then had lunch with the sisters then we saw brother Hilton who is a hoot never know what he is gonna say next. then we watched a movie with this less active guess what she fell asleep second time on my mission... then we had dinner with a part member family and it was good but awkward they kinda just left us there soo it was interesting... then we had a lesson with Jennifer about tithing it was really good and she is doing great.
  Sunday we drove to Philip with the elders. me and sister wright gave talks they were good. so in Philip they have a group which is about 15 members who meet in someones home like when they church first started. probably the best church meeting i have been to it was so personal and amazing! then we drove home and i had a break down because i was tired and frustrated so my companion let me sleep for a little and then i was golden haha. so we went to a missionary thanksgiving party put on by our ward it was so good.
crazy life as a missionary you never know what you will do. well i hope everyone is having a great week i love you all!!!!!!
