A Week to Remember- July 25

Hi Everyone,


So this last week P-day was spent on the Templetin property with the Pugh's and the Elders. It was an adventure and learning how some respond to being in nature. Sister Hilton was so at home and picked up a snake and Elder Close was showed up and decided he better do it to. President Pugh took refuge and I took the pictures. Elder Grantham's second week was filled with firsts. District Meeting went into a spiral. Unfortunately, there are no out of the box experience. Tried but what can you do. Guess there is a first time for everything.


Tuesday morning got a call from sister Olson, the traveling sister, that we were going to do exchanges. She got to go to Ione with me and Sister Hilton and Sister Maxfield, of 1 week out in the field, covered Liberty Lake. It was a great opportunity and it was fun to teach with someone else and get an intake on our area. It went really well and Sister Hilton has really opened up since coming home. It seems it was exactly what the Lord needed to happen.


Tyler's baptism was amazing. It was fitting to him. It was weird no unplanned things occurred. It felt serial. Felt the Spirit so sweet as Sister Peper sang the baptism song. It took 8 priesthood holders and two sisters to arrange the people in the font but it all went well. Tyler just has the biggest smile. He said, "I feel clean inside and out." It was truly a great night. Sunday's confirmation was sweet and smile and Tyler was ordained to the priesthood. He'll be going on the youth temple trip this Saturday!


We had an out of the box experience with Sister Harp last night. She invited us over to feed us at church and we finally got to focus on her. It was amazing. Finally filled in those blank spots about the temple and what we do to go. She was in tears. The Lord truly does love each of us. She said she wished she could have me for a daughter in law. Not going to happen but it was really sweet.


The work is going well here. I love you all. I am grateful to hear that Laurel and the kids are doing well after their car accident. God truly does watch over us and there are angels.


Keep seeking to share the gospel. It is true. I did word study on the word true. It really made it stand out to me why we always say that. It because this His gospel as he wants it. It's our willingness to act on it.


Love you all heaps.


Love Sister Peck
