This week was absolutely amazing. We had a lot of great lessons this week. Last week, we went to the Twin Falls Temple and did a session.
We were the 1st missionaries in that Temple. Pretty awesome. On the way back, I saw what looked like a barn, but it was actually a drive though grocery store!
Insane! On Friday, we had an exchange, so Elder Cowand and I worked over in Pella. That night was the Pella harvest dinner.
This tractor actually makes ice cream. No joke! Pretty crazy! It was a lot of fun and a lot of good food. This weekend was the biggest highlight of my mission so far. On Saturday and Sunday, I got the opportunity and blessing to meet and hear from Elder Quinton L Cook (of the 12) and Elder Hammond (of the 70). They were absolutely amazing. When they entered the room, the Spirit was felt about 4 times stronger. Elder Hammond is THE most eloquent speaker I've ever heard. He could totally be a college English professor or something. It was amazing. They reorganized the Stake Presidency. We lost two Bishops who were moved into the Stake Presidency, so...work is weird. Apparently (I didn't know this) when a Bishop if moved up to be the Stake President or Councelor (until they find a new Bishop) they are the acting Stake President /Councelor AND the Bishop over his ward. That's a crazy week! Sunday was amazing. We had our investigator Stacy come and watch Stake Conference. Elder Tanner and I were actually in the Choir. Alot of fun. But afterwards, we introduced Stacy to Elder Cook and Elder Hammond. (I love Elder Hammond even more for this), the 1st thing he said to her was, "Oh! This is THE Stacy Tannehill. We are so blessed to meet you today. Thank you SO much for coming. Do you have a baptism date yet?" haha. It was awesome. So Straightforward. At that time we didn't have a date for her, but we set one yesterday. We asked her to pray about the 27th. She's awesome. She made some great friends and they're reading through the Book of Mormon and stuff. Way cool.
Well, this entry has been pretty long. thanks for Enduring To the End. haha. I love you all.
Thanks again!
