SO this week we have started to share a car with the zone leaders! They serve closest to us so they have it during the morning then we switch in the afternoon and we have it at night. they dont want us walking around our area especially at night (not hte safest area haha but still fun). Its still their car but we get to use it! lol its been helping. but i have also been getting in better shape from walking those hills! haha so at night the elders will meet at our place and leave their bikes in our apartment and take the car home and its working out smashingly!

things are looking up!! we had a pretty good week and are starting to have people to teach and we are starting to have people to see during the day. Its great! on lady her name is liz and she is so great! she works at a sushi place and had us come in one day for lunch! I was really not excited for that but it turned out to be REALLY good! dad and britt you would be so proud of me!!!! i ate it and i enjoyed it! lol im moving up in this world.
ON wed we had exchanges and I left sis gale in our area and went with sis Gooss in her area. It was a good day and I learned alot that im excited to try and put into action in our area.
we were asked to do a musical number this past Sunday. it went ok. we didn have much time to prepare but we asked the elders to help us with it and we were able to pull it together. only problem was they wanted it a capella and none of us had heard the song before so it took us forever to figure out how it was suppose to go! lol but in the end it all worked out!
i also hurt my ankle this week! lol it was long over due i hadn't hurt it in a LONG time! it was in front of the elders so that was a little embarrassing but thats the story of my LIFE!! lol its still a little painful now but i just ice it when i can and elevate it too.
over all it was a pretty good week! i cant complain! the only thing bad is that its starting to get cold!!! im not to happy about that! people keep saying "you havebeen here for a winter you should be use to it!" uhhh yeah right!!! lol oh well.

love you all!!

Another Week

ok so i have a bit more time this week to take more time on my emails!
Let me start with the super funyn story of the week! ok this past week we have been eating again with another set of elders (the Spanish elders). One night at dinner we got on the topic of things evolving. Like how we now have color tv and cell phone and we were just talking about how we remember when we did have some things... lol then sis gale got play station and game boy mixed up and said "remember when they came out with colored playboys!" lol we were all DYING!!!lol she turned so red. I love funny memories like this!
So this week we have had TONS of rain! Idaho is not set up for rain! there were floods and roads got torn apart and it was bad! we got trapped up on the hill where our area is because the roads were closed and no one could drive up and down them. WE got super drenched again wile walking around.
This we we also had zone conference. It was really great and super spiritually uplifting. We were all on this great spiritual high when we got the bad news about one of our fellow missionaries dying in a car accident. WE had all just seen him at the conference. It shook us all up a bit. Im grateful to know about the plan of salvation and know that the  Atonement is REAL! Our hearts and prayers go out the familys of the elder who passed and to the other elder who was involved. We love and miss them both.
We did alot of service this week. First we helped a family paint the inside of there house so that they can sell it. second we helped a family with yard work. and third we helped re shingle a roof for an older couple. Sis gale and I also helped someone we are workign with make apple sauce! it was really fun! But i also for reals alomst chopped my finger off! I about had a heart attack! but all turned out well. she gave us her old juicer and some apples and other thigns and tlak us to go make juice. yeah it did not come out very well! lol it was actually realyl gross! lol it was all really fun though! i Love opportunities to do service!

Scripture of the week! I call it the spider man scripture!
 D&C 82:3
tell me your thoughts on it!

Love you all!

The elders who use to cover this area have been taking us around and introducing us to people.
