Hey er'body!
This week has been quite the adventure. On Wednesday we had exchanges, and for the first time in my entire mission, they finally let me stay in my area for the day! Woohoo!.... (Even though they almost had me go over to the other area and I had to tell them....) but it was so fun! Sister Sulivan came over here, and it was packed full of fun! We first went over to see Carol, a less active member. We taught her all about temples, and oh my goodness, does she want to go! Right as we were leaving, we heard something in the distance. The ice cream truck! We went and hunted it down! It was kinda interesting, when we got up there, the ice cream man called us sisters, and nobody who doesn't know us knows to call us that. He comes around all the time, so I think he might have talked with missionaries before. We'd better track him down the next time he comes by. We ended the night by going over to the Son Light Baptist Church for AWONA, having dinner with the Petersons and having their famous pizza, and going over to see the wonderful Hutchens.
On Friday we were going to go over to give Harley a lesson, but then he sent us a message saying he had to have a surgery on his leg, so we got permission from President to go out of our area and went to see him. He was pretty happy to see us. We taught him a few of the commandments, and then as we were talking to him, he said, "I've decided I want to join your church, and I want to be baptized on Cinco de Mayo." Gah!!! Harley is getting baptized, you guys!
We were planning on bringing Harley over to the Beal's house to watch General Conference (which he was so excited to watch), but since he was in he hospital, we ended up going over to the hospital for the Saturday afternoon session and watching it with him after going to Sister Aubry and Weaver's house for brunch and the first session.
On Sunday we watched conference at the Beal's house with the elders. We watched both sessions, and it was so fun! We had lunch and played some fun games in between sessions.
After conference was done, we found out Harley had another surgery, so we decided it would be best to come over with Brother Copeland and Hinson, and they gave him a priesthood blessing. It was such a powerful blessing!
It was a little weird that we saw Harley three days in a row this week because that never happens, but if the need is there you've got to do it. Always remember to follow the spirit because it's when you do that, that miracles can happen.
Sincerely,
Sister Shelton
