Week 9 Austin, Minnesota


FRIENDS AND FAMILY!!!

What a week, it has been!! it feels like it has been ages since I have been able to email! hahahaha! I don't even know where to begin!

So...Saturday January 4 (the day that I was able to email before I was under house arrest!) we went to Rochester with one of our investigators to see a baptism..it was great!  The spirit was so strong and our investigator had a great time.  However, on our way home we got a call saying that church was canceled because of the cold weather! So on Sunday our house arrest began! But we were fortunate to have such AMAZING ward members who came to our rescue and took us to their homes so we wouldn't just have to stare at our 4 walls all the day! Sunday night we went to another members house to watch the district..it’s a movie where you follow a group of missionary around..it was fun..she had a nonmember friend over and we were able to answer a lot of his questions and he wants to meet with us again! It was fun...However, on Monday..we were not allowed to leave our apartment at all...it was  a long day, but it was nice to take a little break and chill...I made cookie dough and fish..it teased pretty good! 

Tuesday! it was so wonderful to get back to work!! And we saw so many miracles! it was crazy! But the highlight of our week was the restoration lesson we taught on Tuesday night.  So we wanted to find a new investigator so we prayed to know which apartments we should go to.  Sister Amis and I both felt we should go to the same place and knock on a couple of potentials we found a couple of weeks before.  So we went there and we were getting some book of Mormons out of our trunk..when I saw a french copy and thought we should see if a guy we met a couple  of weeks ago was home. He was! we were able to go in and teach him and his sister.  However, his English is not very good and he had a really hard time understanding what we were saying..then I had a thought! I asked Sister Amis if she still had the restoration dvd in her bag and she said she did and then I told her that we should watch it cause it has a voice over in FRENCH!!!! It was inspiration-not desperation as some of you would think! The spirit during the movie was strong and he was able to understand everything we just tried to teach in English! The only think that could have made this better is if after the movie we were able to speak in french! But it was great and we are going back to see them this week! ps! he also came to church on Sunday!!

We have also had some good laughs this week! So, we were going to a member’s house for dinner and I told the wrong road and had to flip a u-turn...but in the process totally got the car stuck in a snow-bank! Too bad I didn’t have anything red to put on the car-antenna!! hahah name that movie??? But we tried to push the car out, but were not super successful!  But right when we though all hope was lost some nice people with a big tuck and a rope came to our aid and were able to pull our car out! No worries the car was fine! oh ya! we made it our alive!  but note to self: if this happens again, DONT punch the gas while your comp tries to push the car cause that only makes the car sink deeper! The other funny moment happened on Saturday..we were leaving our apartment for the day..but our door wouldn't open! we tried everything! no joke! for like 20 minutes we tried to open the door and yes! it was unlocked!!! But in the end we had to call our landlord to come and help us get out!!! So he came and still we couldn't get out! But finally after trying and trying we were able to pry the door open with a butter-knife! it was really funny! Sister Amis and I both thought that for some reason Satan didn't want us on the lose!!  We were able to end the day at a baptism in Rochester and it was AWESOME!!

Thanks for all your love and support!!
