Hey Everybody!
This week has been full of ups and
downs!
Tuesday we went on exchanges with the Spanish elders and Elder Ledbetter and I went Spanish speaking! It was pretty interesting not understanding anything that was taught about. We did see a miracle in a referral we went to who spoke English, She basically said she was looking for a church and she wants her family to be safe from the world's influences, What better church than ours, right?!
We also made Manwich sloppy joes, which smoked out the apartment! It was ridiculous! But it tasted so
good after I put the Griffin touch to it!
Wednesday we went to Zips for dinner, THE WRANGLER!!! It was so good! We also found out that the p-day rules changed! We now have extra time in the mornings, as long as we get our basic studies in for the day. It has been really beneficial so far today! We found out at that President Mullen's training was basically on obedience. Everyone was all excited because they thought it meant we were going to get iPads soon. Those rumors have been circulating for a long time!
We also got a few new
investigators that are really solid! Later that evening we got to visit the
Dowell family again, they are so awesome! You can literally feel the
spirit when you walk into their home. They're recent converts and
it's been so awesome getting to know them!

Thursday was weekly planning again, It
was another long and somewhat stressful day.
The Mitmas lost the house they were
going to get. The caseworker was dragging her feet and lost the
house. Sis Mitma was so upset. It was really tough. I was really
depressed and stressed out. We started fasting and praying so much
for it to work out.
Friday, we had District meeting and it
was way good! We also talked to a very contentious
guy on the street who we essentially confounded. It was pretty funny. We just stayed calm and focused on what the Spirit wanted us to say
and he basically just admitted he doesn't know what church was true
and sent us on our way. That night Sis Mitma found a house and it is
sadly just out of our area. We're sad about it, but we know that the Lord gave her this house for a reason and we love the elders that she
is moving into. It's actually Maryland Elder's area! They're moving
this Wednesday and they are going to BBQ for us before we go!
Saturday we spent most of the day doing
service. We helped the Cuevas' move a bunch of items into their store
and helped Sis Micahs mow her lawn. It was weird using a lawn mower
again. I also started getting kinda sick, but I think it's just from
the food we ate. We had Pizza Rita for lunch and it was super good!
Sunday was full of awesomeness! The Mitmas came to church and it was so good to see them! Also, the Cuevas's fed us dinner again and we had this amazing soup stuff that I honestly can't remember the name but it was delicious!
Also, my
snoring problem has been getting worse, so we called Sis Mullen and
she gave me some recommendations on how to deal with it. The very
first one I tried fixed it! I tilted my bed just slightly and then Elder Lyden said I didn't snore at all that night. It was amazing! All these years of problems and tilting the bed fixed it.
Monday was specialized training and
everyone was chattering about getting IPADs! It was borderline
ridiculous! At specialized training, we basically learned how to
prepare for winter and such. But then President Mullen had a
surprise! We got to watch Meet the Mormons! It was amazing! All of us
missionaries had been sad because we weren't going to get to watch it. But they obtained special permission to show us at our stake center! It was super amazing! Loved it!
We also learned how to use family
history as a finding tool and I really regret not getting into family
history before my mission. It's so easy! Anyone can do it! Even Holly
and Katie!
