Colville, WA- Week #42


Well this week was CRAZY people!! When I say crazy I mean crazy!!! We had a ton of fun this week also! So don't worry I actually remember what we did this week (Kind of) so buckle up your seat belts! Its going to be a bumpy ride!! We have seen some miracles this week kind of! We had a baptism on Saturday which was AWESOME!! Their names were Liz and Merina Silva!! They are a Mother and a Daughter and they were nothing short of a Golden Investigator!! 


We had a baptism service for them on Saturday and they were supposed to get confirmed on Sunday! I say supposed to be.. Because it didn't happen!! So to save a long story we will just say that they will do it next week!! So hopefully nothing really bad happens to them or anything to prevent them from receiving the Holy Ghost!! They will be good though who am I kidding!! Now that they are baptized hopefully the ward welcomes them in and love them as much as we loved them!! With Liz and Merina now getting baptized we are in the finding stages because we do not have a big teaching pool here! So pray for us to find people to teach!! What What!!

Well according to my title I said that I lived as a logger this week!! Well I did!! We did a ton of service this week!! We helped the Colville 1st Elders with some service, helping a returning Less Active cut down 3 trees and bring them back to his house!! It was freaking scary! Because those trees come down hard and they don't stop for anyone!! I can now see that the logging business is pretty intense!! I also see why people do it! Its because there is a lot of money that you get from it!! I guess you can get a good amount of money for cutting down some innocent trees!! Ryan (the guy who is the returning Less Active) He has paid off all of his equipment, his house, and the property that he lives on all from cutting down trees!! Thats really cool and probably a cool business to go into! Its really sketchy though!! I will think about that!! We continued to do more service this week! We went up to Ione (This small town in the middle of freaking no where) to help the other Elder's members with some more service!! We were digging a ditch and tearing down this deck!! It was a ton of fun!! They gave me a small sludge hammer and they told me do whatever it takes to get the deck out of there!! I WAS TOO DOWN!! I went like Thor with his hammer and wrecked this deck!! I thought it was so much fun to break that thing down to nothing!! Then we had to clean it up which sucks!! Breaking things is always the fun part but cleaning it up isn't too fun!! Luckily with all the leftover wood planks we made this huge fire!! It was huge!! And a really hot I should mention too!!



Then our last act of service we did for the week! With the other Elders we went to Ione to this theater! We got to wait tables and be waiters for people! (the lady in charge of the whole thing is one of the other Elders Investigators)


It was a ton of fun and to make it even better we got to watch this sick magician do some tricks for us!! Like it was a legit magic show!! It was awesome!!!


I love doing service!! The cool thing about it though is that we did all sorts of acts of service this week! Like they were all different but regardless of what we were doing we were representing our Savior!! We were putting a good look for him!! No matter what you make us do we will be happy to serve!! I have grown to love that on my Mission is doing acts of service for people! The feeling you get while doing it is amazing!! I love it so much!! Well that was our crazy week this week!! I hope you all didn't fall asleep during this email!! I love you all so much!! Talk to you all next week!!!
Love,

 Found this awesome waterfall as we were out finding

 Elder Hair on the other side

HEY MAMA!!!
Mondays are just awesome huh?? I love them a ton too!! Yeah Elder Hair and I are having a ton of fun up here!! But the ward is still all out of wack!! They don't know what they are doing honestly... I think President is gonna pull us out this Transfer... I don't know its all in the Lords hands at this point!! We will see!! The baptism was awesome!! But they were supposed to be confirmed on Sunday but Liz showed up late to church... she showed up right after the sacrament was passed! Before the talks even! He gets up there and recognizes that they are there and they got baptized but he goes on to say that due to "lack of time" they will do the confirmation next week.He gets up there and recognizes that they are there and they got baptized but he goes on to say that due to "lack of time" they will do the confirmation next week.  But its going to happen next week though so hopefully it goes good!! The baptism was really good and awesome! I loved it!!  Elder Hair has been here for a while (this is his 3rd transfer here) But he thinks that if President doesn't pull us out he will stay and I will go! What What another one and done in an area! We will see what happens toward the end of the transfer!! Crazy though!!

YOU HAVE NO CLUE HOW PUMPED I AM THAT THE JAZZ ARE MOVING ON IN THE PLAYOFFS!!!! I am kind of mad that I am missing it because I have been waiting for this time for like EVER now!! But I know that the Lord is blessing me with their success right now!! As much as I would want to be there and see Utah go crazy about the Jazz!! I want updates like no other about them going far!! I have heard that they are giving Golden State a run for their money!! If they can get passed GSW they will I think be on their way to the Finals!! And Chad would have to give me $100 because we bet like 3 or 4 years ago that the Jazz would make the Western Conference Finals within the next 10 years!! They are doing so good right now I am so excited!! WOOHOO I am looking forward to my Hat, DVD, Towel and everything!! I am so happy!! How are they doing now?? 

Man its so crazy that we will be skyping like next week!! I will let you know the times next week deal?? This week is going to be so awesome Elder Holland is coming to the Mission!! And we all get to go down to Spokane and have a meeting with him!! I am so pumped to see an Apostle and have a meeting with him!! Its so exciting! I'll let you know how it went next week!! Woohoo!!
