 Alrighty, back to business. This week has been so good, slow but good! I am grateful for all the experiences I’ve had! One thing that was super fun, was on Friday. We stopped by this old couple’s house to say hi and see how they were doing. (The husband isn’t very active right now) Any way, she wasn’t there but he was! He was working in his garage which is a magical place. This man can build or refurbish anything! Especially cars boats or things like that. He was a welder and he fixed engines for his career so he is a genius when it comes to that. Anyway, we got talking and then he started showing us all of his projects he is working on. He built a truck bed that can electronically lift up and dump out whatever is in the bed. Just like one of those dump trucks would do. It is sooo cool! He was so proud of it haha! He then took us in and showed us his welding projects and he then let us explore the boat he is redoing. He named it the bounty hunter and it is this super cool boat that he has completely gutted. He has been working on it for 8 years now and hopefully he will be done soon. His goal is to get it out on the Colombia River so he can go make some money. There is a fish that has over populated itself and they are paying 4 dollars a fish and then once you get 800 the amount goes up to 8 dollars a fish, hence the name of his boat, bounty hunter! haha! I seriously love this man! He and his wife are so amazing. One day I’ll take a picture of their yard and send it to y’all. It is SO COOL!

The motley girls wanted to be missionaries too!!

In district meeting this week the elders were making fun of sister Tayco and I because we were role playing something and sister Tayco said " oh no, do you need me to hold your hand?" jokingly. The elders about died. Elder Tripp (Zone leader) and Elder Wingle (district leader) thought it would be funny to act out how sisters are with their investigators. they proceeded to stroke each other’s hair and elder Tripp put his hand on E. Wingles leg and Said." don’t worry we are here for you" in a super ridiculous voice. Sister Tayco and I were dying!!!!! hahaha!  Maybe we do act that way but that is the reason all the members like the sisters better ;) haha!

i made cookies the other night.... apparently sister tayco only
 like the middle parts 

 Sunday was super good this week... for many reasons but I was able to talk with the family! It was so fun to see you all and to meet the two new members of the family and to see pics of the other two! Also, the talks and lessons in sacrament and relief society were so good. They all brought such a sweet spirit to the meetings. Our investigator in graham came to church and we ah some less active members there with us which is amazing! I am so glad each time i see these people make choices that bring them closer to their savior. For Sunday dinner we went to the sunrise bishop’s house, these are some of my favorite people ever! They remind me a lot of my family which is fun! Bishop is HILARIOUS and I could sit and talk with him forever! I’m blessed in this area with amazing people for sure. 

 Life is good! The work is great! I love you all so much! I hope that your week is good and full of blessings from the lord! I know this church is true and that it is a blessing to everyone who will come to know that it is true for themselves!
