Hey whats happenin?!?! well we had an ok week! yesterday was pretty exciting but the rest of the week was meh.. So yesterday I spoke in sacrament in first ward.. and it was pimpin! i took like 20 mins and it was a piece of cake :D didn't even prep that much lol! I love it! anyways then Pres Baker (a counselor in the mission presidency) came down for a fireside for second ward.. and so all the members are now pumped for missionary work! and! in first ward a kid brought his friend to church and his friend (who is a sophomore) wants to be baptized! so we are going to start teaching him this week! we put him on date and then after church we contacted this guy name Dan Madden who lives in second ward! and he is so dang golden! We were telling him about the BoM and said Christ came here to teach these people and he said do you think that that was what he was talking about when he said there were other people somewhere else....? and i said you mean other sheep that i have which are not of this fold?(John 10:16) and he was like ya! and i said turn to 3 Nephi 15:21 and he did and was like wow! and to start off the lesson he was like you know i have been to many different Christian denominations and i think they all have bits of the truth but i don't think they have the whole thing... and we were like wuhhhh.... I said well Dan I believe you are going to like what we have to say.. and he said well I'm all ears.. lol! it was so sweet! so we are going to teach him again on Saturday and put him on date as well! AWESOME! work is going well! thanks for getting me Jace Hymus' number! i called him and he is going to work the other side for me! I think his Father In-law got Antied... but we will see.. anyways today we butchered chickens!!!!!!! It was so freaking fun! first you go in and catch the little buggers then you bring them out and chop their heads off and drain the blood out by holding them upside down and then you pull them apart and its so easy! its way fun too!! I have pictures :D and i will send them to shanni soon! she probably wont like them very much lol but i do! it was fun! plus the guy gave us some eggs and when he is done prepping the meat we get some of that too! and they are 2 year old chickens that were corn fed with no hormones or anything! i cant wait to eat it!!!!!!!!!!! wow! but it was so fun! and OF COURSE freaking milk toast wouldn't come out of the house even... so he sat in and wrote letters while everyone else in the district participated in the decapitating of chickens :D !!! woohoo!!! it was awesome! but hey i love you guys so much! take care! mom don't over do it! and hang in there! alright well i love you guys! take care!
