Best week EVER!!!

Last week was one of the hardest weeks that I have ever had on my mission. We were short on time because of meetings, and We really didn't know anyone haha :) I guess that is why this week was the best week ever!

Tuesday: We went with a member to go contact her co-worker that was interested in the gospel. She was amazing! She committed to baptism and is reading the Book of Mormon! She kept asking her friend how she got so close with her husband and family. Then she told her about the Book of Mormon and how it brought them closer together through Jesus Christ! I can't wait to teach her even more! After that we had dinner and they sent us home with leftovers :) YUMM!!! But then we gave them to a homeless lady....thought she needed it more than us. We see her from time to time :) and her cute dog!

Wednesday: We had 3 lessons set up with potential investigators.....but all of them stood us up! On our way back to our bikes we heard a pop....and a gush of air came blowing out! Sister Pielstick's tire popped.....and it was because I put it in wrong...lame!!! But now I know how to do it :) So a member helped us get it in their truck and then we have been on foot ever sense! 9 months ago I left the MTC :D Wow how time has flown by! We did Tim Tam Slams :) it was great! We also taught Cody. He is a great kid! His uncle called us and told us that we need to start teaching him. So we did haha :)

Thursday:  We Planned...and taught Noah! He is 8 years old and wants to be Baptized! Neither of his parents are members, so he is a convert baptism! We asked him to be baptized on Halloween, but he was worried it would be too soon! We will work with him and I pray that he will feel ready by then! How cool would that be! to get baptized on Halloween! SO COOL!!! We had something interesting for dinner....it was good I just would have never imagined this combination! Rice, with a hamburger patty, then a fried egg (with the yoke still runny, I call it a pocket full of sunshine) and gravy over the top of it! It was actually really good :) haha then the member came out with us and no one was home....oh well :D keep on keepin' on!

Friday; We had Multi-Zone today! awe it felt so good! We sat and got scolded/trained on how to talk with everyone we see! These last two weeks we haven't had any baptisms in our whole mission.....this is bad...really bad....this week we got 7 which is good :) so we learned a lot! after the meeting we went to dinner :) After we ate we asked if we could share a message with their family. The mom asked what the message was about. We planned on faith. She then picked up her phone and called her non-member neighbor and had her come over for the lesson! The family gave her a Book of Mormon and we invited her to learn more, and she said that she wanted too! She is the best! She also came to church on Sunday and loved it! AWE :D

Saturday: Was a very interesting day...we talked with everyone! literally everyone!! It was so crazy! There was this one lady, she was sitting on the grass and she had all of her stuff sprawled out. She had some cute heels (we know how much I love those!) and so I said, " I really like those heel!" She then responds, "They aren't real!" really confused I said, "Oh I just said that I liked your shoes." She then goes off! "These things right here aren't real. Nothing is real. None of this even matters. Do you have a phone? Could you call my boyfriend? He didn't answer did he. I don't even care......." She kept going! It was crazy! We just walked away and yeah...haha the fun things that happen on a mission!

Sunday: What a beautiful day! We had Three investigators at church and awe :) I had to talk though....apparently I talk really soft....so many people didn't hear me...oops....oh well! We also got to do sharing time in Primary! It was so fun :D haha The Bishop's wife came out with us after dinner and she stayed with us for 4 hours! We felt so bad! We told her that she would drop us off for the last appointment, but she wanted to come :) What a sweet lady! I love her! She is just the best!

Monday: Today has been pretty relaxed! I so needed it haha :) Can't wait to see what adventures come our way next week!

Love you all and hope you had a great week! Can't wait to hear from everyone!
