Week 63 - I'm an American that makes people strong so they can fly on airplanes
So many great things happened this week!! For starters, transfer calls were this week and we found out that Sister Shinkle and I will both be staying in Ellensburg for another 6 weeks together! WAHOOOO!!
On Tuesday we got to go on our temple trip and of course go to Costa Vida afterwards. A member in the ward drove us and I got to feed her baby boy snacks in the back seat on the drive up haha so that was fun! While I was in the temple I got to see one of the members from Moses Lake! It was good to see her again.
On Wednesday we went to Mutual again and just met with the Teachers group to talk about missionary work. They asked us all sorts of questions and it was a lot of fun! I was really impressed with them and how engaged they were with asking questions and listening. The youth these days are the bomb-diggity!
On Thursday we got to do our first skype lesson with Molly and it was the best lesson EVER! We were teaching her about the Plan of Salvation and she asked us how she could repent because she has done things she knows weren't right. Then she said, "I want to be baptized so bad!" So we invited her to be baptized and she was SO excited! She started crying and said, "This feels so right! I love this feeling!" Then we all were crying haha. It was one of the most spiritual lessons I have been in for a while. And it was over skype!! Even talking through a screen doesn't stop the spirit from touching our hearts. We met with Molly again yesterday and had a couple of the young women in the ward come to the lesson. We taught the restoration and it was so powerful to have the two young women there to share their testimonies. One of them was even baptized less than a year ago, and was able to relate to Molly really well. Unfortunately, Molly's parents don't want her to be baptized any time soon. But she'll get there! Whether it takes months or years, she has a pretty solid testimony and is determined that this is what she wants in life.
DeWayne got baptized on Saturday!! He was so happy and really emotional. Hes a pretty tall guy so they were worried about the guy baptizing him being so much shorter. But he only had to be dunked once! I think he might have hit his head on the step... haha but he was probably too happy to notice! He was confirmed yesterday and interviewed to receive the Aaronic Priesthood :)
De'Aaron received the Priesthood yesterday and was ordained as a Teacher! We got to go in for the ordination and it was so so good. Some very powerful things were said. After church De'Aaron came up to us and asked us if being baptized makes you more attractive all of a sudden. Lol I guess some girls at school told him he was a "10/10" and he thinks its because he has the Holy Ghost now. 
Oh yeah! We got to go to Primary yesterday for sharing time and talk to the kids about missionary work and what we do as missionaries. They are hilarious! When we asked them to guess where we are from one raised his hand and said "You're Americans!" hahah he wasn't wrong I guess. We asked them what they thought we do as missionaries and one said, "you make people strong so they can fly on airplanes!" Haha close but not quite. We also told them that missionaries love getting letters and they could write a missionary a letter. Then a little boy raised his hand and asked if I could write down my "number" so he could write me a letter. How sweet is that?!
Love y'all! Have a blessed week :)
