When you are doing His work you are doing a great work - Aug 11

So this week wasn't like I would of hoped. It was hard, but missions
are hard. I think the biggest reason it was hard for me is because I
am still trying to remember that as a sister training leader the
sisters are my number one priority, no matter what if they call in the
middle of a lesson we need to take it. The only way that this work can
go forward is if all the missionaries doing it aren't weighed down by
other things. I love these sisters. We had three meetings this week
plus exchanges which took us out of our area for a couple days.
Exchanges were fun I got to go to Chalmette and work with a sister
that is in her first half training. She's from Smithfield, and so we
talked a lot about Cache Valley, because we all know that I just love
it up there.
 
We had an awesome miracle this week. Our investigators Nancy and Katy
are progressing. We watched Joseph Smith: Prophet of the Restoration
with them. The entire time I was watching to see their reactions to
some of the things. At one point Katy asked us if that stuff really
did happen. We told her ya they did. They had so many questions after
words, which they asked us over dinner (they made us roast beef
po-boys, ohh they are so good.) One thing that really hit me was that
they cleaned up for us to be there. The table that normally is
overflowing with stuff was clean. The living room that usually has
stuff piled up on the floor was clear. It was amazing. All while we
were answering the questions they threw at us I noticed a change.
Nancy even asked us what time our church is and we told them that it
was from 10 to 1. They were really shocked but we explained that it
was broken up into three meetings and explained the importance of
each. It was really good because we really got to explain the
importance of the sacrament. Sis Allen explained it like dealing with
trash during the week; through out the week we pick up trash on our
house and throw it away (repenting daily) but then once a week we take
and put it on the street for it to be collected with everyone else's
trash (taking the Sacrament). It is really cool because you could
think of Christ as the garbage man. He comes and picks up our sins,
and God (our land lord) doesn't remember that we ever had that trash.
It was just so awesome it's hard to put it into words.
Well I hope that y'all have a good week
Love y'all

So when we went to Baton Rouge this week we stopped at McDonalds on
our way home to get a smoothie to hold us over until dinner. Well we
were in the drive thru when we saw this duck randomly walking up to
the cars. Then we looked again and saw a whole bunch of Nutria the
R.O.U.S's Louisiana. (if you look at them carefully you can see were
they got the idea from.
