Week 20: Leave it all on the field

Hello my family,

Scripture of the week.... Alma 56:46-48

Safe in Lyndon for at least 6 more weeks, with elder Guinn. It’s actually pretty cool our whole district is staying the same, with just one slight change, the Littleton sisters are getting a 3rd sister so three! woah. But other than that we are all staying put which is very awesome. By the end of this transfer I will hit my 6 month mark, six months in Lyndon.

The ward was so relieved I was staying, Sister Gregory cried about it when she bore her testimony. I played a joke on brother Jablonski and told him I was leaving and I thought he was going to cry as well. Ha I love this ward.

Well this week was absolutely amazing. I have never felt the spirit guide me so much as it did this week.  Saturday night I was laying in bed and couldn’t sleep because I had the head ache sent from hell( not a rare occurrence for me lately, but more on that later). Any ways I had the thought that we needed to go give brother Edmunds a less active brother a blessing. But the thing is I’ve only met brother Edmunds twice and he and his wife are rarely home. So last night I feel prompted to go to the nursing home to see if sister Barbara Cameron had gotten the sacrament yet, which of course she hadn’t, so if we don’t do it doesn’t get done. So we jumped on our bikes that we rigged up form odds and ends bikes that we found in the shed and headed to the nursing home. When we got there guess who was there?? Yup the Edmunds!

The bike they threw together :)

 So we administered the sacrament to them and were talking for a while and brother Edmunds asked if we would give him a blessing, it was so cool. I gave it and the spirit was so strong, after I offered to give sister Edmunds a comfort blessing and the spirit was miraculous during that as well. After all of this I told the Edmunds that I had felt we needed to give them a blessing and they both teared up quite a bit, it was such a neat experience.

I love the priesthood, and love the promptings we can receive from the spirit. Always follow those promptings you receive. Sounds like everyone is super busy back home, hopefully you can make time to talk on Sunday. I’m super stoked to hear from you guys it will be so so so so so great.

So this week I went on exchange to Newport which is right on the Canadian border so yup I saw Canada it was pretty sweet. Elder Uhl and I were traveling from Lyndon to Newport via a back road and we saw a TURTLE ill include the picture.  I did get grandmas package a few weeks ago, and I also got my shirts and goodies this week thank you for that.

 You will be happy to know that it was at least 70 everyday this week so I didn’t have to wear my suit jacket once. And as far as tracting slacks I just wore them for the first time this week, so yes a full new wardrobe for summer pretty sweet.  

 I am sure All Utah and Richmond will be great ill miss being there but oh well soon. I have been getting terrible headaches almost every day for the past well pretty much 6 weeks. I thought maybe they would just stop but they aren’t going away and ibuprofen does not help one bit, in fact no drugs help. I told president about them and he asked me to please call sister wilkey(she takes care of all of the doctor stuff). So ii guess I’ll have to humble myself enough to do that sometime today.

We are spending our pday chopping wood for mike and Lori Cochran today.  Glad to hear the packers took some ball carriers they sure needed that.

Well hope I covered everything. Talk to you all on Sunday.

4 my time 2 yours.

Love ya
