One Year Down and Branding Cows!

Ecuadorian Breakfast

Hey Y'all!!

How are all yall doing?? I hope that all of you have had an amazing week! It has been another amazing week here in Idaho! 

So yes, we branded cows this week... and yes it was nasty... and yes it smelt very... very bad! Branding was not the worst part though. The worst part was the de-horning.... I didn't like that. Luckily I did not help out with that part, just the elders did. I will send a video of me branding for the first time. It is not my favorite thing to do... I think I would rather pregnant checking hahahaha! Hey I gotta get the whole Idaho treatment though, right??

So on to this week! Last Monday we were able to have FHE (Family Home Evening) and to our surprise they invited over 3 other families! It was like we were teaching a little multitude haha! It was really fun though because the kids acted out the story of Adam and Eve! We even got a pretty amazing referral from one of the youth that was there so that was a miracle!

On Friday I able to go on exchanges with sister Mena! She is an amazing sister! I have been on exchanges with her before. She has been out for 4 and 1/2 months. She is from Ecuador and she made me in Ecuadorian breakfast! That is the picture of us! And the other picture is us online proselyting and the Elder wanted in the pic haha. I have learned so much from her though! It was such a blessing to be with her for a day! Oh also, funny story. Her and I were talking after we came home that night and this HUGE spider starts crawling towards me! I hit it once and it stopped moving. I grabbed a better shoe and started to squish it again and the thing jumped at me! I then started going ham on the thing and hit it like 50 times! It was so scary but I proud to say that I have lived to tell the tell! 

One last miracle I would like to share with yall today is about a 12 year old girl! She is amazing! She is not a member of the church but the past 2 weeks she has been coming to church by herself and she is not even talking the lessons yet! We hope to start teaching her this week! She is probably one of the most devoted 12 year old I have ever seen! I really hope that we can do what we can to help her come closer to Christ! 

I think that is all for this week! I know that God is aware of all of us and that He loves all of us! I want to invite all of yall this week to have more sincere prayers with our Father in Heaven. I have been trying to do that lately and it is amazing! I love you all so much and hope you have a great week! 

Love,

Sister Lacey
