Temple, angry mothers, and knowwwledge

Hey y'all! This week has been jam packed full of stuff so hopefully I can write about it all in at least a decent length ;p

On Tuesday we went and got ready for our church tour with Ryan our investigator. We cleaned and got it all ready and he texted us right before saying he would let us know when he arrived. But, then he never showed up... he hasn't got in contact with us since... We think he might have got called into the station but it's weird because he hasn't called or texted back yet still... We really hope everything is okay because he really is super prepared. That night, we were biking around and it was like 8:30 so we had a few more minutes to keep working if we wanted to be obedient and stay out till 9. So Elder Wolfgramm decided to knock this one house. As we were walking to the door I noticed a "baby on board" sign on their car. I immediately had the thought, “We're going to wake up the baby.” Sure enough, when the lady answered the door, she was NOT happy... she went on and on about how we shouldn't knock doors this late and that because we woke up her baby it's pretty much ruined her life. Now, I have siblings with babies and I get the whole ‘don't wake the baby’ thing. But, her reaction was a little too much :p We told her we were so sorry and that we wouldn't do it again and we left not really thinking too much of it because people yelling really is pretty common. But, the reason I told this story is because there's more to it later on, so 'FIND OUT NEXT TIME ON DRAGON BALL Z!'





















On Wednesday we were able to go to the temple!!! Oh, it was so so good! This is the first time I've been since I've gotten here on my mission because it got flooded by Harvey and they just barely re-dedicated it. It was so nice to go again. I have learned SO so much the last 8 months and I was able to apply everything I’ve learned into the session. The spirit taught and showed me so much and it answered many of my personal questions and prayers. I know that we have been given temples for a reason. They are one of the greatest things here on earth. The things our Heavenly Father promises to us are immeasurable to anything the world has to offer. I can't express how so very important it is we always keep our covenants and stay worthy for the gifts and miracles He so desperately wants to give us. He truly is waiting to give us all He has. We just have to be ready in all aspects in order to receive. If there are things in your life that are holding you back from receiving the light and knowledge you need or from seeing and participating in miracles daily, I invite you to change. Truly turn yourself towards the Savior. If you take the steps necessary to walk towards Him with faith, He will help you walk on water.

The member who gave us a ride told us on his neighborhood app some lady asked where the 'guys with white shirts' live because she wanted to apologize. It was the same lady who yelled at us for waking her baby! We went and stopped by and she was super excited to see us. She said as soon as we left the spirit told her that she needed to love more. And that God had given her her child as a gift and so she needed to show her gratitude through her actions to others. So, we are going to go teach her and her family soon! It’s so so cool and I've never had anyone who yells at us try and find us to apologize before! She said she had been standing outside around 8 every night since then looking for us and that she drove around the night it happened for an hour looking for us. It's so cool how the spirit can touch and change people! :)

This week Elder Mills and I had to go to the dentist to get some cavities fixed. Curse you weak enamel... we had to get some information from back home because it was a new place for both of us so Elder and Sister Admunsen gave us permission to call our parents! Haha it was short and strictly for information only but still, two calls in one week! ;p

This last week it's just been getting hotter and hotter! Haha on Friday I had exchanges with Elder Mills and it was one of those work super hard all day, zero results kinda day :p There was a fair going on and we stopped for lunch and got some food from a Hawaiian truck so that was good! Haha but we were so tired and sweaty by the end of the day :p

Sunday was Mother’s Day! It was super nice to see my family! I love them all so so much and it was fun to see all their faces and hear their voices again! I love you so much mom!

We went around Sunday night and left sticky notes for some of the moms in our ward. Hopefully it made their day a little better :)

Anyways, that's about it for the week, I love you all and I hope you keep on keeping on! :) say yes to new adventures! Especially gospel adventures! ;)

Oh also, we saw a Lambo this week. Just another day in Kingwood. ;)
