Is there such things as tree doctors?

Hey y'all!

So much has happened! oh my oh my! its flippen crazy! ok so on tuesday Denis basically put us on the back burner. he said he was super overwhelmed with stuff and so he will txt us when he is ready. :P blaah!! no!! haha so that was a great day!,.. nope i lied. so yall my letter aint gonna be real long. today too many missionaries and a lot of broken computers :( so anyway!! on wednesday we walked 5 miles to contact a referral. not one soul was walking!! none, but 2 people! soo hot! hahah it was like. whose idea was this?? yes it was mine, sis milnes great idea lol now i got a real good sunburn... awkward!!! Melyssa is doin so amazing!! she got a blessin this week and we're fixen to set a bcd! were praying for her!! Then on thursday we had dinner at the russell family, and tira and her sis hannah came! sooo much fun! they are the funniest funnest people ever!!!!!! ahhh!!! ok so sis russell told of a way she explained Christ's grace to her friend that asked her.

 

So your on an island and God is 10 miles away on land. and you have to swim there!

now that is simply impossible! and its really hard. so you jump into the water and start

swimming, you swim as hard and as long as you can towards the land where God is

and when you can't do any more, Jesus comes in on his Speed boat and picks you up!

Christ will take you the rest of the way! but He can't come onto your island and pick you

up! you have to go out and start swimming!

 

Can we say brilliant?? Christ is on his speed boat hahaha oh my too awesome! alrighty now on friday we had zone conference :) sweetness!! everything is changing! ahhhh!! not even playin!! we're shiftin gears towards family history and service more. and me and sis krebs are gonna try to see how long we can go with out tracting! so crazy cool! not gonna lie, i aint missin tractin ;) and then we're using this prayer technique to get people to pray! its really cool, a little awkward. we basically get them to say a prayer out loud and then invite them to pray and kneel and close our eyes lol and then wait! it works though! its really cool haha most of the times that we're planning on doing it they just agree to pray and we dont get the chance to do the prayer technique. lol  but our mission is switchin its focus! and its real exciting!! ahh! we're gettin more techy!! so when missionaries are leaving they get to bear their testimony at their last zone conference and so many elders are leaving! all the really good ones!!!! its really sad :( elder norton said that he would give anything! absolutely anything to be a greenie. he would give anything! and that made me think about where i am in my mission. flip time goes by way fast! its insane and so im cherishing moments even more so! ahh!!!!! hhaha

So we ate dinner on saturday at a members house. sis whisnant! she reminds me a lot of my gma c! hahaha just a southern version... weird! but she is just really funny hahhaha she got us scuppinangs. we have not a clue how to spell them. but it is a HUGE grape! and you bite it and suck the juice out and spit the rest out! its soo weird! hahah but they're real good. scuppinams? scupinongs? idk hahah giant grapes! yummm! oh also so the other ward had a baptism and denis came to it!! um sweetness right????

This sunday was fast sunday as yall should know ;) and so it was really needed!! and the Tira looked amazing at church can i just say!! oh my what was even cooler was that the night before she had called us saying she was ganna rip her nose ring out!! and then in church she told us about it! You cant even see the hole!! it hurt aparently haha but its gone!!!! we didnt even tell her to do it!! she is changing with the spirit! wooooooooo! every one calm down calm down. Denis came to church also!! in his white shirt :) haha makes us smile to see him wearin it!!

We're fixen to get real good at gettin the ward involved with us! slowly but surely! also my letter may be longer. the computers started workin again :) HURRAY! hahhaha but so we went over to Kim and Brandons house and we made shepards pie! oh my so amazing! did yall know i didnt know how to make that? actually i didnt even think about it! but it was aammaazzziiinnnngg! 3 plate fulls! i was hungry!!! we had a member come over for when we taught brandon the pos. he isnt ready to set a bcd yet but he still has a goal to be baptized and sealed to her! <3 so cute!! haha they have the same hair did i tell ya? also im gettin an accent! halla! hahaha but brandon will get baptized. im not worried. the ward is involved in their lives too much! and brandon is super nice! somehow i was tricked into writing a song about their work and brandon was gonna read moroni 6!.. sis krebs! whats goin on! so its a work in progress. so far ive got

T. Formations.

yep. thats it! haha we meet with them on wednesday! so we got a little bit of time :) and then The greatest thing happened! denis txt us and invited us back!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

we were a little estatic! hahaha we went over and talked to him. we read some of the isaiah chapters in 2 nephi!!! soo confusing, i feel real silly tryin to explain it. so i dont, i let sis krebs. she understands it!! haha i mess up words and such so i skip it. and it came to pass that something passed down to someone and they went somewhere! i hope yall understand it because thats what i was sayin! ahh! im ganna start workin on my speech... :P but then we talked to him more. he is opening up to us a WHOLE BUNCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!our modern day alma is amazing yall! we flippen love him!!! We set a bcd. September 14.

i want yall to know what is happening inside me right now. My heart is jumping out of my body and im holding back screams and laughs and tears!! HE WANTS TO GET BAPTIZED!!!!!!! He wants to get baptized in a river like they do in BoM. not a tub haha so we're thinkin about wakulla springs! best thing ever! we need to talk to him more about it. and bishop too. so much to do! so little time! ahh! were really really happy for him! i guess the past weekend he went to a party where there was lots of drinkin and girls. but he didnt participate in it! he said he was standing up for what he believed! when on tuesday he was doubting it all! sayin how he likes drinkin and coffee etc. and he didnt know what he wanted!! but now he believes it!!! we are almost done teachin him everything. oh my Brother Peters ahaha weird. he does not want to be called that! hahaha He really wants to get baptized before our transfer is over. its sweet but we said it is ganna happen when he is ready! oh my soo awesome!!!

so after that lesson we got into the car and drove down the street. screamming!! and fist bumping and elbow touching. (long story) hahaha so awesome!!

 also we had a bunch of storms this last week. ok like every day but a bunch of trees fell down!! we saw one trailer sliced in half by this giant pine tree! and than this HUGE! not even playin it must have been thousands of years old! it fell into the middle of the road! and so they were cuttin it up! but it was crazy! trees are fallin everywhere! oh i love trees. question is, is there such things as tree doctors? weird! also you can major in librarian! ahhh!!!!!! THis past week has felt like forever yet no time! time away from denis felt like forever! he told us he missed us and that was it for us! hahaha ok yall be good this week! keep the sabbath day holy! that includes shoppin!! and never break your promises.
