Lake Reams - June 3, 2013



Fam-oo-Rii !!!
Hello! Well this last week was quite a week! Many Many things happening! It has been getting very hot here and it rains A LOT! Sister Low and I are always either sweaty soaked or soaked from the rain, eeewww.. Well We had some great lessons this week, Gene is still doing awesome and is so excited about his baptism! He always asks us about it when we see him, he also has been reading the Book of Mormon every single day! So cool right? It's way funny because now when we go to see him instead of preaching things about the Bible he preaches about the Book of Mormon! Hahahaha YES!!!! He will say things like "Well, ya know in the Book of Mormon Nephi says you harken unto the word of the Lord and he will tell you all that you need to do." Just stuff like that it seriously is soo cool! we also are teaching a man right now named Joe, he is really interested in our message and how it relates to the Bible, he is so smart and knows the Bible better than anyone I know. When we were at his house he always asks a lot of questions about what we believe and how does it relate to the Bible and the Book of Mormon, he was getting into this topic about adoption and the scattering of Israel and the separating of the Gentiles and I was like hey you can read about that in Jacob 5! And he was like "What?" and I was like ya, and I showed him and he was shocked haha he is so awesome though, as we teach he takes pages and pages of notes and high lights the Book of Mormon we gave him and he really gets excited to study this stuff, so that is way way cool!! It was fun right when we got to Joe's he was showing us this medical equipment he has made, because that's what he does.  And it was this helmet thing you put on and you turn it on and you can see all the veins and bones in your hands, it's so trippy to look through, Sister Low and I were playing with it and looking at one another's faces and how creepy it looked haha it was fun though!  And the best part is....... we asked Joe as he prays and reads the Book of Mormon and prays about our message, that if it is true would he be baptized and he said "Yes, of course I would!" It was so cool! We set a date of July 20th with him and we are really hoping that it goes through!  Then we also have been teaching Anna, and she has been taught a lot by previous missionaries that never really went anywhere with her, but there is something different about us that she likes and she says she can feel the spirit from us, and so we talked about the gospel with her, not really one of the lessons and we asked her if she would take the steps of reading, praying, church, etc. to know if this is true and if it is true if she would prepare for baptism on July 20th and she said YES!!!!!!!! Seriously such a miracle! Sister Low and I have 3 people preparing for baptism and it is amazing. I have no doubt in my mind about Gene's but I am really praying hard that Joe and Anna will take this seriously and receive an answer so they too will be baptized! Ahah guess what else, you will be so proud, so Anna has health issues and her hands hurt a lot and she cannot use them very much.  But she accidently ruined some nice decorative towels and the fabric and tassels on them got ruined and so she asked me if I knew how to sew and I said ya kinda haha and she was like well I have extra fabric, do you think you could sew and fix these towels and pull the tassels off the ruined material and sew them on the nice material and then on the towel. And I said ya sure I will take a look at it, ha and I am actually doing a pretty good job! Whoo!!! haha ok ok now you wanna here something disgusting....... Ok so I have been sleeping terribly lately, like I don't even sleep 20 minutes at night, I have terrible insomnia, but on Tuesday night I was so overly tired that when I went to bed I was just out, haha well that night Sister Low woke up in the middle of the night because she was cold and so she woke up and fixed all her blankets to get warm and she heard a squeak in her bed by her face, and sat up immediately. At first she wasn't sure if she was just hearing things and then she heard another squeak! and then she could feel something crawl across the bed and jump off, while it was squeaking! EWWWWW she said she was about to scream but because I was finally sleeping she didn't wanna wake me. Poor girl grabbed our phone and started to look for the mouse or rat and couldn't see and sat up in bed till morning. UGH!!!! SO NASTY RIGHT! We told the front office and they sent someone to set traps. We washed all of our bedding and pulled our beds away from the walls, we haven't seen another mouse or rat yet but we are so freaked we can hardly go to bed. Eww yuck in was in her bed!!! UGH! Our beds are on the floor so that doesn't help. Well nothing else too cool this week. We had a ward party and we had lots of yummy desserts! And tonight is a ward BBQ so we will be eating a lot of yummy things again, haha I am getting so fat. You would think Im losing weight from biking, haha nope........ I am trying to be healthier though. Sister Low and I got stormed on last night while tracting, it was kind of nice because it was so hot, well I gotta go! Love you all!
