I remember laughing, but I don't remember why..

Okay, yes I'm a terrible person, I sent you all those pictures with absolutely no explanation. So get comfortable, here's two weeks worth...

 EXPLANATION OF LAST WEEKS PICTURES:
-SUPER bomb ice cream at East Wind Drive-In in Cascade Locks(Oregon, yep its still weird).. and that was the small
-delish tacos from a taco truck(I ate tongue!)
-McKenzie's skunk Bumper. he is their pet, and she snuggles with him. They have 2 skunks, 3 possums, a couple raccoons, and a couple deer, as well as 3 dogs, and a couple cats...
-Car numero uno is Guapo(our car), car numero dos is Gordo(The Dalles elders car). We had to trade for a couple of days and they took Guapo up to Yakima for some work.. its good to have him home
-oh, and Sister Walker eating a cinnamon roll(that McKenzie's dad made) faster than humanly possible

 Now for this week :)

 Zone Conference on Tuesday, which was phenomenal, like usual. We have another mission meeting in a few weeks and all the departing missionaries have to give a departing testimony.. never thought I'd get here :(

 We went and played Bingo again, which is hilarious and so fun. I took a video of Sister Walker calling the numbers, so many people have complimented her on her "good bingo voice". One man told her he could stand to be in the room.. not sure what that means about whoever was the last bingo caller... 

 We saw McKenzie again, and she is still AMAZING! She's seriously the cutest. And she's reading up a STORM. She loves learning. And has decided that she's going to have a llama when she's in the Celestial Kingdom. 

 We went to visit a woman in the ward last night and pulled up as she was going in after milking her goats(like 6 or 7), so she took us to meet them, and her 6 or 7 horses and her 7 pigs and her ducks and chicken. She asked us if we like eggs.. which, yes, of course, and sent us home with 4 chicken eggs and 2 duck eggs, in a can with what can only be called farm debri on it(I washed my hands VERY thoroughly) she's super cool though, and such a sweetheart, AND we mistakenly knocked on the wrong door the first time and met someone who, when he found out who we are, said "I'd like to talk to you".. uh, OK! he had good dogs too :) 

 Sister Walker-- "I made a recliner out of this!"

 Then some cool things in Bingen. I like it here. 

 Oh, and the food is the pad thai and spring rolls we got last Monday.. soo good.

 LAST THING, I promise. On Wednesday, we got a voicemail from some guy whose message we could barely understand and we were freaking out how we were going to call him back cause the phone never registered a call and I hit the number for reply and it told us his number! (#milagros) So we called the other day, and y'all, it was the best phone call I have ever participated in. He told us how he'd gotten our number and how he'd read about the Restoration of the Gospel through Joseph Smith and it touched him, so he kept rereading. He said he has so many questions and asked us how God can love us when we're not with Him, so there's no way for him to know us. I got to teach him a little about the Plan of Salvation and how we lived with God before we came to earth, so he knows us, loves us, and misses us more than anything. As I testified, the Spirit in the car was so strong. It felt like a furnace, it instantly got super toasty, but like the heat was coming from inside me instead of the car heater. It was amazing. I know its true what I told him, that God loves you and knows you inside and out. It's a joy getting to share Him with people.

 Go out there and share! Or get to know your Father better yourself.

 LOVE YA

"We are willing to knock on strangers doors" -the theme of missionary work

Other potential subject lines from this week: "Let your grammar nazi go nuts over that!" -Sister Walker. Yup, she loves me.  "I love us". Guys, Sister Walker and I are like a comedic duo. It's so much fun. It. Has. Been. A week. We've had quite a bit of snow too, which cause some issues with commuting places.. and seeing how our two areas are full of small towns that are in the hills, its caused a kink in our plans (thumbs up). BUT, all is well because leading up to the catastrophic "snowmageddon" as they are calling it, were a ton of Miracles! Alrighty y'all take a seat, strap in, grab some popcorn. I got lots to share.  So, Monday night, it snowed a bunch, so we did District Council over FB video chat, which was fun lol, there was a lag, so the hymn singing was WAY OFF, but it was good. We had interviews and since we had to do that over FB too, I FB chatted with Sister Jackman, man I love that lady. She's so much like my...

Week 2

Heyo! So this email is prolly gonna be just as harebrained as the last one 'cause I'm still working out the kinks of timing and putting my thoughts in order. So, this is my last Pday in the MTC.. we leave at 230AM next Tuesday, I don't know what that'll mean for emails but there will be another eventually, no worries. Couple things, actually a bunch of things: 1: Sister Cannell drinks chocolate milk WITH ICE. I know weird, but I've decided to be the bigger person and look past it(that's a joke, I love her, it's hard not being able to put a little bit of sarcasm in my emails) 2: Anyone and everyone, please feel free to write/email me, I love hearing about like anything right now haha 3: Role playing is a total blessing, Sister Cannell is pretty shy and it's really helped her come out of her shell a bunch plus it helps to keep me from rambling like I do. 4: Speaking of my rambling, we watched this Elder Holland talk about opening your mou...
