Hello!!Ok So this past week has been pretty crazy! out of all the referrals we got (43) we have about 12 left? sweet eh?? We cleaned one of the family's home this week that we're teaching. let me see if i can tell you how awesome it was. They are a part member family! right? i think ive told you of them before, the Johnsons? anyway So this is the cockroatch house! :/ we started with a cloth to wipe down tables but then there were to many bugs and trash everywhere. so we changed tactics! joey had the vacuum who would suck all the bugs as fast as he could! alyssa would... im not sure what she was doing same with haylie... they were helping though. we cleaned under the couches and the walls! OH We found 3 black widow spiders in the house with eggs!!!!!!!!!!!! EWW! those poor kids! when me and joey opened a kitchen drawer everything was still and than they'd expold out of there! joey was having a hayday! it was so funny.. until one was on me... than i was done! i prayed harder and went back to work! ewe soo gross!! i feel so bad for the kids! for everyone there! hopefully everyone that helped saw what needed to be done. after cleaning that house i had lost my appetite for a day and all i could see were bugs! we showered right when we got home! uhh i still get chills thinking about it! the saddest part of that whole thing though was when i went into the girls room and saw nothing. there were blankets and little cushion things for their beds! no toys or anything! saddest moment ever!! bless their hearts! i nearly cried! they have no beds! joey sleeps on a bench in his gmas room and the aunty whose excommunicated with her husband sleeps on the floor. than robyn (the Mom) and ray ray (stepdad kind of) sleeps in a room down in the garage! seriously! i tear up thinking about the kids! but they're looking for a new house. OK SOMETHING HAPPY!!We converted a Baptist and someone whose in the Drug buisness to believe in the BoM! haha awesome right? Robert and Holly, they're rayrays siblings. so funny! while we were talking i saw a drawing of a stick figure on roberts inner knee. so i asked if he drew it. he said "yeah i was bored one day and had a tattoo gun"....What?!? hahaha so ugly! dont ever do that! but it gets better! than he took off his shirt basically and showed me the rest of his tattoos!! eek! so awkward! what was i suppost to do?? so i said "No need to take off your clothes there" and he was saying something about rayrays tattoos so i said "yeah we know but he didnt take his clothes off to show us" haha ahh! awkward! but it was funny! he just laughed at me. apparently im super funny down here...I have officially discovered my reason for being on a mission. Earlier this week me and sis R were walking through a neighborhood contacting with no success so we started back for the car. when we saw someone getting out of a yellow truck next to this super cute old house. we walked past it but than i thought to myself. No regrets? could we Help this person? so we went back and talked to him. He was so nice! his GF was pregnant! they were getting married right after the baby is born :) cute eh? he told us areas not to go because of mean people and such. we gave him a BoM and asked if we could come back. he said sure :D sweetness right. but thats normal. anyway! Yesterday (sunday) came around and we were having a bad day. Rayray wouldnt come to church because he was too tired, our deaf family wasnt there, robert wasnt there and holly left because she felt sick. it was just not a good day. But we went to meet Scott (that is his real name) we get to his house on time and he was happy about that (oh he is in his mid 30s?) We just started talking and getting to know each other when his pregnant GF who is about to deliver next week so she is HUGE! drives up. her name is Erin. She joined us and we asked if we could start with a prayer so I prayed. Than we taught the first lesson, the restoration. HOLY POWERFUL! the spirit was so strong! Erin started crying when we talked about families are for eternities. and a few other times in the lesson. This lesson was the first lesson that i fully and completely recited the JS vision. "I saw a pillar of light exactly over my head, above the brightness of the sun, which desended gradually until it rested upon me. when the light rested there appeared two personages whose brightness and glory defy all description, standing above me in the air. one of they spake unto me calling me by name and said pointing to the other "this is my beloved son, hear him."So im still working on the exact wording, dont judge ;) but it was just amazing! after we finished the lesson, testified of BoM and Families again we asked them to be baptized in 6 weeks. They Said YES!! they have been looking for this! If only you could have seen their face when we were teaching them! It was like the most beautiful/amazing/fetchin sweetest thing ever! That is why im here. To bring the Fullness of the gospel to others. People are so prepared! and theyre waiting for me to share the gospel with them! Uh their eyes when we were talking! they absorbed everything we said! and they asked questions! it was so awesome!!! They made me realize how much joy the gospel brings to life! its complete! its simple! and its Bold! Im so happy to be out here! and I cant wait to find more Scotts and Erins! UGH!! Its just amazing! i want everyone to know how this feels! the spirit is soooo strong! and... idk how to explain what i feel. I love my savior! he will protect and guide me every minute. love him!!!!!!Until Next week yeah?LoveThe coolest Sis Miss evar!Sister Milne :)
