Sept 12- The Corn Feed

Hi Everyone.

This last week was crazy. No surprises. We had weather in the the high 90's and low 100's. It was intense. Judy's lesson on the Word of Wisdom went better than we could have anticipated. It was awesome. The Spirit was truly teaching her. She even through in her Pepsi. We have all been soda free for 5 days. =)

Worked on invited everyone to come to the corn feed. It was amazing over 175 people came and a lot of nonmemebers. =) Finally decided to greet people in the food line. It was a good strategy. 3 of the people we teach came. Rose came and jumped right in helping. Carol brought a cake and Gloria brought her husband Bob. That was truly a blessing. He even helped the men tare down at the end. Brother Harp came and helped husk corn. That was a blast. Everyone had a good, safe, night. We meet a ton of people. It was amazing.

The night before. Spokane for a training on Mormon.org. We are thrilled. The media campaign will be an amazing experience here. Meet Elder Heaton, director of the MTC. I asked a lot of questions and called him on a few things. He made me feel extremely humble when he responded. Oh well. It got the other missionaries to contribute too. That was a positive result. They are really anticipating the growth of the Church here and it makes you excited just to be a part of it in some way. We'll be working on helping members know how to create a profile and how they can use it to invite their friends to learn more. I loved that while watching the mormon.org portraits that the uplift one feels is the power of the atonement. How beautiful is that. No where does the word get mentioned but you can feel it. Check out the web page and watch a couple of the video's. Almost feel like a sales person to the ward but all is good. Got the mayor to "agree" to making one. We are getting more and more support as the date of the release starts.

Saturday we went to Porter Carmen's baptism and were invited to share our testimonies. That was powerful. Really enjoyed feeling a part of the Branch and they appreciated it too.

Sunday- Stake Conference broadcast- Elder Snow, Holland, Packer and Sister Dalton. It was fantastic. Before we were warned that we might be sharing our testimonies because last years lack of connection left them in need, this year the men were able to connect to the Internet when the satellite was down and prayers were answered. =)

Sister Lyttle saves the day. She invited us to lunch and dinner and sent us off with a fresh loaf of homemade bread for Ann. It was a great way to come back into the heart of Ann. She still has a long way to go but you know when you see her the Lord is so aware of her. Don't give up on her.

This work is amazing. Crazy and stressful at times you just have to let go and follow the Spirit. i know this work is moving forward and we can be a part of it. Love you all bunches.
