It was a stormy day....

 Good afternoon everyone!

Things are looking pretty good here in Wyoming. It's been dumping on us all day today. Just a steady consistent heavy rain. It's been great! I absolutely love the rain! Not so much loving waking up to 38 degrees, but at least the snow ain't here yet!

Guess freakin what! We put Bertie on date this week! She has been progressing like crazy! Literally all she wants is the gospel in her life. I it's times like this where I can't help but reflect back to Elder Hendricks and him teaching Josh back in butte. She just loves the gospel!

This week we finally got to meet with the frame kids again! They are still doing great, hopefully things might change and they can be baptized soon. They have so much desire! It's always a blast to teach them!

Oh ya! Earlier this week I got to go on an exchange to Thermopolis! It was actually my first time over there! I got to do a Baptismal interview, funnily enough for someone that I've actually interview before, he just hasn't been baptized yet. He's got a set date this time though so fingers crossed! Thermopolis and Elder Bredsguard were great! I got to meet quite a few of the people that they were teaching and it was fun to have that experience! We did have a bit of a bump with one of their investigators who had searched out a bunch of anti stuff. Thankfully she was able to see right through most of it. It's always so sad when Satan is able to harden others hearts through that crap.

Oh! So after the exchange, we had quite an adventure here. We didn't end up having the car for a couple of days, the office asked that we get it repainted. So we decided to bike. However due to some popped tires and a lack of tubes around here we ended up walking and actually found a new Spanish family! It was absolutely amazing to hear my boss companion testify to them in Spanish and on occasion add some of the few words and phrases that I know. Thankfully I had actually remembered to download some Spanish videos and we showed them "He lives" in Spanish. They absolutely loved it and said that we could come back! Miracles happen when we walk! I can testify of that!

So a little off topic but I think I've kind of fallen in love with driving. It's just so wonderful. Granted after a couple of hours I'm kind of done, but just road trips the best. I've been really thankful for all of the beautiful drives that we have here. Especially on Rainy days like today :)

Anyways ya! Oh! I haven't had ice cream at home (not counting dinners which has also been rare) In a little over a week! I'm gaining self control over it! I'm evolving! 

And ya, We are leaving the Cheathams. :( We got a call the other day saying that our apartment was almost repaired and that we would be moving back in any day now :(   As far as shipping goes, You can ship to the Cheatham's house, I'm not sure of our new address, but I'm sure that if worse came to worst we could stop by and pick it up from bro. Cheatham. Besides it would be a nice excuse to see him :) He taught us how to make homemade hash browns the other day, we were trying and failing and thankfully he stepped in :) 

But ya! That's about it for this week! I love you all have an awesome day!

Also we went to a dinosaur museum today :)

Still being an awesome big brother.

I emailed him about the napalm comment from the handwritten letters from last week, (as a mom I was hoping "napalm" was what they called their favorite dessert).  Apparently not.  "Hahahaha ya, he totally taught us! It was just a random conversation that led to it, I thought that it was hard to make and he proved me wrong by making some and we had fun with it out in the back yard. :) :) ... "we had a fun time doing science experiments with bro Cheatham where we blew up various types of gun powder seeing how the react and made some napalm and tried to put it out in various unsuccessful ways. :)"
