Good Week, I think (5/4/10)

Hey fam!

So we had a pretty good week this week, number-wise. We were out sick a few days and didn't get to work. I got sick on Sunday with a stomach bug and had it all week, Elder Belleau was throwing up one day. All in all we had two days in the house. But we still worked and saw some miracles. Found some good people to teach. One of them is named Analìa. She was a lady that we found doing contacts, she's in her early 30s. She said that she had been out of the hospital for just two weeks, and was doing good. We asked her what happened, and she said she tried to commit suicide. She talked about how she thinks that there is life after death and just wanted to see it. We testified our butts off and left her a plan of salvation pamphlet. We'll be visiting her next week because her work schedule is weird this week.

Mary Sol's baptism went bad. haha she is ready to inactivate. She was basically forced at the end by the 1st counselor and the ward mission leader to bear her testimony. She is a super shy and really didn't want to bear her testimony. so we said she wouldn't have to, but then things just kinda fell apart at the end. Then she asked me to confirm her, right? right. So Sunday we go to confirm her, and as we are walking up, the 2nd counselor (the bishop is having open heart surgery and the 1st counselor got the flu) looked at me and did a quick "no" nod. I did the "Whaaaaa?" look and he just shrugged. so I tugged on Belleau's jacket and we sat back down. She got up and I heard her say "Los misioneros?" and the high priest's group leader confirmed her. Wow. Afterwards, Elder Belleau told me "She's never coming back to church, is she?" She's pretty upset about the whole thing. She told us that the only reason she came to church was to get confirmed, otherwise she wouldn't have showed up. Ugh.

So.... I broke my camera. I don't know how it happened, but the LCD screen on the back broke. I'll take it in today to get the repair quoted, I'll have a price for you (hopefully Sunday) so you can approve the cost and send me the money. If you don't approve... I guess I can still take pictures and stuff, I just can't see them. So, yeah.

Pretty exciting to hear about dad's bump up. HPRO VP of IT? With his MBA and PMP? His newly-earned DotY? (Try and figure out what that is) hehe you're a stud. I'm proud of ya. Any idea if you'll be coming down around Christmas time?

(MOM NOTE: I saw some of Steven's friends at a wedding reception and wrote him about it.) I was thinking about Cami the other day - how weird! I hope you said hi for me. I just sent Chelsey Olsen a letter. :D Ummm - I got Mykin's wedding invitation. It was addressed to Elder Stevie Thorderson - how socially crippling! lol out loud.

Well i love you all. Have a great week!
