Hey family and friends!! 

This week has been super busy!! We had a lot to do :) It was great

Monday, we just hung out at the church and then came home. We went to see Safi, our investigator and we had this really strong prompting to not see her and we don't know why but we followed it!! We went and saw an in-active that we had visited before and didn't seem to interested but a member of the ward told us to go see her so we did. It ended up being really good!! We talked with her and got to know her a little bit and we also talked to her friends. She has 2 daughters that we played with and it was great!! We just made ourselves at home so it wasn't awkward like last time. It was great!!! 

Tuesday, we did service at Ephrata Manor. We had a lesson with Ethan it was great!!! We talked about missionary work and service, he really seemed to grasp it :) We also had a lesson with Sister Finkey, we might be dropping her because she isn't keeping her commitments and never really has but we hope that she has been reading the BOM. We had exchanges on very short notice! Like they told us at 4:30 that we were exchanging that night and we would exchange back on Thursday. Sister Jarvis came to Ephrata with me and Sister Zaugg went to Elizabethtown. 

Wednesday, Sister Jarvis and I walked around all day. It was really good :) We were suppose to see Sister Hackman but she wasn't home. We both had to go to the bathroom and so we were trying to find a bathroom so we went to a gas station and they didn't have one so we had to walk down further to the grocery store. We ended up getting some ice cream. It was sooo good and it was super cheap!! Turkey Hill ice cream, it's super good!!! Then we went to Sister Hackman's moms house and did some cleaning and helped out a puzzle together for a bit. Sister Hackmans mom bought us some food so that was nice :) Her mom is getting pretty old and can't do a lot so we have been helping her out :) Sister Jarvis and I walked about 5-6 miles.. It was fun :) That night we went and saw an in-active that we have never met and she was super nice!!! She said that we could come back!!! :)

Thursday, I woke up and my legs were pretty sore! Haha :) We had Zone Training, it was great!!! We talked about the importance of the BOM in conversion. I am so excited to implement that into my missionary work!!! We had a zone activity to build unity. We played some indoor soccer for a little while and then me, Sister Zaugg, and some Elders went outside and played some football. It was so great to be able to play again :) I miss football! After we played sports(around 3 hours) we all gathered in a circle and went around and talked about highlights from our missions. It was great!!! :) We had dinner with our investigator Ben and his wife then talked about the importance of the BOM. Ben has such a great desire to know the truth, it's so great!!! 

Friday, we went and helped a family in our ward move. It was us and 1 other family who went. We helped them for a couple of hours, it was great :) I LOVE service!!!!! Afterwards we did some weekly planning and that took the rest of the day. I realized why I am doing so good on this day. I have been trying so hard to be exactly obedient and trying to do everything that I commit my investigators and less-actives to do, basically to live the gospel FULLY!! It is truly blessing me in so many ways!! The gospel is soooo true!!!! I can NEVER deny it. Also, my attitude has changed about a lot things and trying to have a good attitude about everything and it has been soo good :):) 

Saturday, the Elders who serve in the same ward as us had a baptism. So we went to that and it was great :) Then we went over to the Tuckers to help them again but they were pretty much done. There was another couple in our ward who needed help cleaning their new house they just got. So we went and helped them and we were there for awhile. I got to spackle and paint :) It was lots of fun!!! We were pretty tired though :) 

Sunday, we had a dinner appointment with the Andersens and they fed us curry meatballs... I really don't like curry but I powered through and I am still alive :) hahaha We did our studies then went and visit taught with a lady in our ward. 

I am still growing so much and becoming the person who Heavenly Father wants me to be. I love being a missionary even though it is tough some times but the good experiences out way the tough ones :) It truly is a great blessing!!! I am so glad that everything worked out with the car accident and selling the boat :) I am excited that you are getting the business going. Dad are you meaning that it will bless because I can do that job because I would love to do that!!! Sister Zaugg and I are doing soo great!!! Our unity is seriously sooo amazing. She told me that our untiy is the best she has ever have and I am her 8 comp!  Hope you all have a great week!!! I love you to the moon and back!! 

Love Sister Kierra Wadsworth
