This week we met with a 13-year-old boy and had such an awk lesson. He was sooo nice and polite, but we were just awkward. We pretty much talked the whole time and did everything wrong, but somehow at the end of the lesson he said, "I'm starting to think this is true. I'm not ready right now, but I want to work toward baptism." If that doesn't prove that this is God's church, I don't know what does! Everything that we could've done wrong we did, but he still felt the Spirit! So that's exciting, and we have our second lesson with him tomorrow night!
Also our recent convert, B, has a husband, M, who was completely against the church at first. He was still supportive of B, but whenever the sisters came over he'd just tell them why they were wrong as he walked by. But the first lesson I was here for, he sat in and listened, so I just figured he was always like that. Then he asked us what to wear to church bc he wanted to go to support his wife. So he came but kept telling us he didn't want to get baptized (even though we never brought it up to him haha he just really wanted us to know that). But yesterday he came to church and said, "I'm not getting baptized anytime soon, but who knows what the future holds." And he said he wants to stop chewing tobacco! We haven't invited him to do any of this! He's just feeling the Spirit and he said he really enjoys when we come over and when he goes to church.

Here's a picture of our district.
The elders thought they'd pose like sisters and we'd pose like elders.
We ran into President McAteer in Longview of all places! We asked to take a picture with him, and he said, "Wait, let me get my selfie stick out of my trunk!" Hahaha he cracks me up. Then he took this first selfie from a super low angle, but Sis. Mandin showed him the importance of holding the selfie stick up high. I don't know why, but every man over 40 takes selfies from a low angle.
The signs you come across in the boonies of Woodland.
Sister Mandin got our car stuck,
so I had to climb through and get our stuff out of it before it got towed.
The driveways of the homes we visit are just too much for our little Cruze,
especially when it's raining and slippery.
After Sister Mandin smashed whipped cream on my nose at dinner
Teaching a horse about the restored Gospel
Sister Mandin was like, "How did we even get here?"
so she secretly took a picture before walking up to the porch with me.

My life is great up here! And I love you all!
Here's a scripture I like: D&C 64:33. Read it! It's great!
