8 months today. how.

Hello part people what goes on. This week went by pretty quick! It was a good week! Last Monday we actually got into some houses we havent' been able to get into for a long while, so that was exciting. One of the ladies is a native and she is dating a married man who is too lazy to get divorced, so in order for her to be baptized, there are some hurdles we will have to jump through but I'm not worried :)
We have been working hard in our units so hopefully something good comes of it. On Tuesay we had another lesson with our new investigator in Dove Creek. Sister Dowd got to extend her first baptismal invitation and she did such a fantastic job! She is becoming more and more confident everyday, its fun to watch her grow. Our investigator said he still needs some time to learn and read and pray before he accepts a baptismal date but we are working with him and have good high hopes.

On Wednesday we had phone problems, our phone had zero service so we made trips back and forth from the church phone to Darlene's phone. It was kind of nice to not be able to text and confirm appointments, then the people couldn't take the easy way out, by texting and cancelling. Now they either had to tell us over the phone or when we showed up in person, its harder for people to do it then. This phone should be broken more often.

We also got 2 new investigators in teh 1st ward this week (truly a miracle, we have had zero the entire going on 4 months here) so we were really excited about that. On Thursday we had a meeting with A----, he is doing wonderful and it going to the temple to do baptisms on Wednesday! It was so funny, he had to work on Sunday so he missed watching General Conference, and he knew we were going to ask about it so he was super nervous the whole week. We actually saw him briefly on Wednesday night and just said hi, and he was so relieved because he thougth we were going to ask him how he enjoyed conference so he stayed up til 1 am on Wednesday watching it, and he loved it! HIs favorite speaker was the one who talked about his conversation (I forgot his name), which was funny because that guy basically sounded just like A---. Honestly wouldn't be surprised if A--- was up there someday.
On Friday we tracted into a nice old lady who repeated the same story 10x so that was fun. On Saturday we went to  relief society  activity that was actually a lot of fun. Then had dinner with the Helquists, classic navajo tacos, their cute grandson, cute puppy, and we got to look through their scrapbooks. Which was the best thing ever. They are so cute. I just love them.

Sunday was H---'s baptismal interview! We had a few scares because he was involved in a poaching incident, we had to call President to make sure all was clear, but all is well and H--- is well on his way to baptism.
Today we went on a district hike in the Canyonlands! It was sooo much fun, we just drove through Canyonlands, stopping at different sites and hiking around, reminded me of stuff we would do. Got some good photos I'll be sending. My district is pretty fun. We manage to have some fun here in Utah.
I love you all and hope you have a good week!
Love, Sister Nilsson
