This week has been an awesome week. We had tons of little miracles happen to us and to those around us.

Tuesday was a good day.  We saw Josh and talked about the Family Proclamation. We saw and tried lots of people.  We were able to talk to a couple of people about the Restored Gospel. We had dinner with the Bakers.  They are missionaries that help people with family history questions.  After dinner we went to the church because they were having youth night. An investigator that we had lost contact with was there.  Her name was Logan.  She was invited by some of her friends to come to the activity.  After the activity we talked with her about her summer and set up a time to come back and teach her.

Wednesday we had district meeting. It was about how to be unified so the Lord can help us all together. We then were able to see David B. He is a youth in the ward that isn't active; we talked with him about School, work, and what ever else.  We found him a ride to church. We then saw Bro. Moore and talked with him about his missionary opportunities. In the evening we went and saw the Bueschers.  Sister Buescher had gone in earlier in the day to get part of her heart looked at. It went well.

Thursday we received a text saying that a family was moving in and would love some help. We went over and help them unload a Uhall truck. We didn't have a chance to change so we did it in our white shirts and slacks. They are very nice and he is a member and she isn't.   We had dinner with the Carlsons.  We then tried the Gambles, we have tried them before and had no luck but this time we were able to talk with them. It turns out that they are moving to Texas. While we were talking to them the Sisters show up. There were three of them; they were together because one of the sisters had left. We also were able to see Josh with Bro Talent. We talked about his testimony

Friday we did weekly planning because Thursday was too busy to do it.  We also tried to see some people, most of them didn't answer. We had dinner with the Litster family. Brother Litster was away on business trip. After dinner we were able to finally talk to someone at the Wrights home.

Saturday we had our meeting with our ward mission leader. We then help with a move. We help load all of Molly's things into a truck then a storage unit. In the evening we had a big storm roll in. It was big with lots of rain and lighting.

Sunday was good.  We attended church.  The sacrament meeting was about trials and that there is always something to learn from them.  The 5th Sunday lesson was done by Bishop. It was on the importance of teaching the kids the law of Chastity. The world is becoming even worse and the world's standards are changing but not the Church and their standards.  We went out with Bro Dooley and had an appointment fall through.  We had dinner with the Buescheres and then taught the last new member lesson with the help of Brother and Sister Keeney.

Monday was Labor Day. We went on a road trip with the Bueschers. We went to Far West. We saw the Temple site there. It was awesome, so calm and peace full. We also stop by the bookstore to look around.  It was great because there was so many things the Bueschers need there. They even got thing for Brother Buescher when he would get the Melchizedek priesthood. It was awesome to go up there with them. We also went to lunch in Karney and had some good country cooking.  We also spent some time with some other missionaries.
