Letter #67 . . . amazing youth!

Hey fam! 

Youth Activity every Tuesday night!

This week was great! We worked our hardest and had fun doing it!
 
Some stuff that happened this week . . our district sings at an Assisted Living Home every week, and this week we all sang "I Can Do All Things" to them! Click here to watch! Hahah it was pretty funny. Love those people in there!  

Went to Adam-Ohndi-Ahman for a ward youth fireside! Click here to watch a short segment! A while ago we started a youth/ missionary activity night at the church on Tuesday nights. It's not for mutual tho . . that's on Wednesday. I'm blown away with the youth in our ward! We played dodgeball this week, 
and we had around 30 youth show up!! It was so fun! Click here to watch a 30 second clip!

 

Cutting heads of chickens! Yikes!

Another first for me . . . we butchered chickens this week! Hahaha that was fun. We brought our whole district to do it and it was surprisingly such a good time. You eventually get used to seeing the heads get cut off. They had me dipping the headless chickens in boiling water most of the time. Hahaha ''twas a good experience. But with that, I feel like I've had my life's share of butchering chickens. I'd be fine to never do that again. :)

We are pumped for our Investigator Ashlee! We taught her the last three lessons this week, and she's still good to go for her baptismal date on June 3rd! She's even been pushing and encouraging her less active future husband to talk to the bishop so that he can baptize her! Wahoo!! She has been so excited this week, she says she finally feels she's found that "more" in her life that she was looking for. She's been reading from the Book of Mormon every night. We asked her to start from the beginning, but she's just been flipping to random pages, highlighting like crazy in pure amazement of the content she's
been coming across. Some random chapters she's randomly flipped to and
studied: Alma 5-7 & 34-36, Mosiah 4, 3rd Nephi 11 & 27 and more. It's
so funny. I looked through her Book of Mormon and she also has
highlighted the violent war verses because she thought they were
awesome haha. It's been a mission highlight for sure teaching her!

Youth activity at the church!

Taught Barbie this week! She's the Activities Director at the Assisted Living we do service at. She is the sweetest lady ever.  (She is the one sitting on the couch in the vid of us singing to them!) We taught her grand daughter too! She's staying with Barbie. Barbie said she prayed to know what she is missing in her life, because she felt she was not spiritually progressing in her other church. The DAY AFTER that prayer, she had missionaries show up to do service at the Assisted Living for the first time. She told us she knows we were led to her for a reason. We were 
amazed at how prepared she is. She is going to read and pray 
about the Book of Mormon, and she wants us to pray she'll get an 
answer!! We're super excited to keep teaching her and her grand 
daughter Marissa! Our whole district has joked for months as we've 
done service for her, that she is going to be the world's best Primary 
President some day. ;)

That's all for this week, church is true!

Much luv,
