The week has flown by for us. We have been super busy trying to contact as many people as possible. We are making significant progress on the less active list. It has been cool to focus on helping them come back to church. We have had some moderate success with that! We had 2 less active families at church on Sunday. It is definitely a process of helping them all come back but I think at some point they will.
Today we are again short on time, we went to Hanna, Wyoming, to get some wooden nametags! I’ll include some pictures and videos in the photoshare. Super cool. We also did some service for an elderly lady who needed firewood to heat her house. It was pretty cool to see the gratitude in her eyes when we brought it to her. We had a snow storm yesterday, so everything is white. From what I’ve heard, from this point on, the snow doesn’t leave the ground. It just kinda stays and then gets more snow added on top lol
We had some cool experiences while teaching this week! We taught a less active family named the Newbroughs who are trying to come back to church. The father had some bad experiences with a past bishop, and so he is hesitant to come back. The other members of the family want too come back soon! We are having dinner with them on Wednesday, so we are excited for that.
The first lesson, we talked about the sacrament prayers and about how the sacrament will bless their family. It was a really cool lesson with a strong spirit. We talked especially about remembering the Savior and always having the Spirit to be with them. The next day, they texted the member who came with us and told them that they were feeling the Spirit more!
This week we also accidentally tracted into some less actives! It was really cool. We have dinner with one of those less active families tonight! Super cool. We are hoping that we will be able to help bring the Spirit into their home so they have a desire to come back.
Our WML went out of town for a couple of weeks so I guess he doesn’t hate us now hahaha
Thanks for the uplifting scripture! It makes me feel really good. I appreciate your love and support and prayers. :)
You are amazing. Thanks mom.

PS I haven’t got the birthday packages yet but I will let you know. Especially since my birthday is on a pday again! Hahaha
I have been wondering why I have not seen email letters. I guess I finally figures it out! It sounds like you are doing great reactivation work in your ward. That can be a challenging but rewarding experience. Keep going!
