Each day this week brought a weird crazy trial and a blessing. ill

give the runddown. monday was alright we just rested.

tuesday a member came teaching with us and in the middle of teaching

appoinments she told us that in the celestial kingdom there will be

pilygamy and we dont have a choice.. and my companion and i were torn

apart cuz we didnt understand and if it was true well we didnt really

have words for that, part... so we went to ask someone else and they

shed some light on the topic and brought our minds to ease.. but then

soon after our hearts were troubled again becuase later that night we

had a huge storm blow through, we had tornado warning that night,

thankfully we were safe and we didnt have to do too much clean up with

fallen trees or broken houses, everything got fixed pretty fast.

blessing part is we found out the truth and we got to teach michele

and aaron with a different memeber who ended up being really good for

them both.

Wednesday we decided to save kilometers on our car by riding bikes we

borrowed from members as soon as we peeled out of the driveway my

chain broke.... so i fixed it .. and conitued to ride down tot the end

of the road, as soon as we get to the stop sign my pedal falls off..

just falls off out of nowhere!.. so a man see us in distress and goes

gets his tools fixes the bike and we are off again... 20 minutes later

in the middle of downtown as im crossing the street it falls off

again... so i ahve to wait for the pedestrian light to turn on again

to go collect my parts that were still in the road.. we chian the

bikes up to the tree and finally give in and call for help, by the

time we get out to work its about 1 oclock, so frustrating! blessing

of this day was we had dinner with a member that night who opened up

alot about things that we could help her with such as continuing to

reach out to her children she even gave us the general area of where

one of her daughters live.

Thursday we locked our keys in the aparment and had to wait an 1 for

help so we made phone calls and walked around to try to talk to people

didnt get to work until about 1 .. again! .. belssing we now have a

spare under our porch, out there by the member we live with.

Friday actually went really well, michele was interviewed and we went

out to help the sisters in our district find new people to teach.

Saturday sister whytes dog passed away, so that was really hard. and

we were running around to appointments. blessing we were so busy we

didnt have time to think about anything that was troubling, and we had

a birthday dinner for  aaron and sister whyte at the harringtons

Sunday we found out late that night that one week ago nick passed

away, i didnt know what to do, so i painted until i wasnt frustrated

and then went to bed. Blessing of this day, MICHELE WAS BAPTIZED. The

programm went really well. the branch is making a really go

dconnection with her, her mom and husband were there. They aren't

interested in the church right now but whos to say in the future they

wont change their minds, thatll be a really good day too!

Well that was about my week in a nut shell. Things are going well here

and they just keep getting better, this week will be fun spending lots

of time on lookign for new people. I love you all and hope all is well

that way!

Love Sister Hadley
