"just keep asking me if I did my homework"

hello, hello!!

 The quote comes from Dakoda who hadn't read what we asked him to when we went to see him yesterday, so he ran inside when we were mid word and shouted "Mom! remind me to do my homework! Jus- Just keep asking me if I did my homework!" I could barely hold it in and it wasn't the only funny thing that he said that day. 

 Fun story: Last Monday we were walking back to our car after talking with Juttas kids for a little bit and these two guys drove up in a truck and one guy asked Sister wilcox if she has a snapchat, to which she said no, and the other guy asked me if I have a snapchat, and I said "No, but we can come to your house sometimes and talk with you about Jesus Christ?" They kinda hesitated and then asked what church we go to. WE got their names and an address, so nothin yet, but stay tuned for a story about Buster. 

 District Meeting has officially been changed to District Council, which was super cool. We all got together and we talked about what a council is and how to counsel together and then discussed the people that we've been working with and how we can help them. It was way cool to put 10 brains together instead of just 2 and we got some super cool ideas for the people that we have been helping, plus, I got some cool insights for myself. 

 Sad story: Devyn, the amazing 17 year old who had become our best friend over the month that we had been meeting with him, turned cold. Something happened and he now doesn't want anything to do with us or the Gospel. The worst part was knowing that he's denying answers that God has given him, and that we won't be able to help him since he's changed his mind about it. It legitimately felt like we'd been broken up with.

 But, even though my mission has allowed me to know what heartbreak feels like, we saw a lot of good this week too. The best one, was meeting with Erika and Karla (her daughter). I'm pretty sure that I've mentioned Erika before but for a while we were unable to get ahold of her, so we didn't meet with her, but this last week, we met with them and talked about the Book of Mormon and the REstoration, and it was super cool to see how Karla was so interested to truly understand and how that kind of got Erika more invested as well. They are doing this together this time and its going to be full of miracles.

 Love y'all!!

 p.s. we knocked into a couple dispute. I shall elaborate: We knocked on Nikolays door and met his wife who was not super happy that he had been meeting with us(which explains where he disappeared to). She kinda got a little snippy saying that he should come to her church, because he went to ours, and before I could help it I was like "yikes.."... we left pretty soon after that lol

"He's a good dad"

Hi Friends! Wowee, is there a lot to say. Please excuse the spelling errors. We have an hour to do all letter and email writing and we have to email the Branch President too, so yikes.

"I will go, I will do, the things THE LORD COMMANDS!!"

Hi Friends!    So Mission time is so totally warped. The days feel super long and the weeks seem to go by quick-ish, but come Pday I feel like I have no memory of anything that happened that week. And every day ends in a similar way so I have no way of knowing what day it is. Basically my perception of time passing no longer works. It's cool.     We had a Trunk-or-Treat on Wednesday and there was this family all dressed up as Harry Potter characters (Carson, you woulda LOVED it) I took a picture but it's kinda blurry. the mom was Professor Trelawny(sp?), the dad was Professor Snape, and then they had Hermione, Harry, Ron, and their little girl was Dobby.     Margaret is doing super well. We still don't know if she's moving out or no, so that's concerning, especially as we get closer o her baptismal date, but she's super diligent and is being a member missionary before she is even a member. She reads the Book of Mormon to her mom and is trying to get he

"Are you eating the Bible I gave you?!?" -Ally to baby sister Emma

Hello one and all!  Jersey came to church yesterday! :) She is a girl we met a couple weeks ago after reaching out to the missionaries who were here last year and they'd mentioned her parents. When we met her, she asked if we could come read the Bible with her because "I need church". Of course, we agreed. She came for choir practice beforehand and stayed the whole time. Her first Sunday, she was there for over 4 hours, and she loved every bit of it :) and they loved her :)  We also got to do some community-lighting this week! If you aren't friends with me on Facebook.. shame on you, but it's okay, I will share. Selah has a couple places around that have apples with the word Selah in them(probably because Washington apples, and because Treetop is located here) so we went in to City Hall Tuesday morning and asked the mayor if she would be okay with us adding something to the one just outside the building, she said yes :) She also asked me to tell the man walkin
