   Monday we did a spa day at the church for p day. all of the elders were going big foot hunting in macey.... so all of us sisters had the church to ourselves so we did nails and played volleyball it was fun! we had a great time together!

    Wednesday we had our storm lake district meeting. our district leader serves in storm lake which is 2 hours from Sioux city. so the le mars sisters came to Sioux city then I drove us all up to storm lake for district meeting. it was a lot of fun! it  was a good district meeting. the Sioux city elders our zone leaders had to end up going to a diff district meeting so they weren't there. but we had a great time. we learned a lot. they trained about false humility and the purpose of the plan of salvation and atonement. it was really good. I enjoyed it a lot. I learned a lot

    Thursday we had the baptism interviews they went really good. we also had transfer calls sister muasau and I stayed the same:)

    Saturday we had the baptism it was super amazing. the spirit was soooooo strong!!!!! I am super greatful for this family I have had to work with I love them so much! they are an amazing family and im so greatful I have been able to help them come to baptism and come unto Christ. they are amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it was cool on sunday our bishop bore his testimony and he said he had a really crazy stressful week and it rolled into Saturday and he said the baptism helped bring the spirit back into his life. it was really cool the spirit was so strong at the baptism. it was amazing!!!!!!!
    That was our week it was a really great busy week. I love you all!!! today in my studies I was reading in mosiah and I was in chapter 23 verse 22 I really liked the scripture. it says

"nevertheless whosoever putteth his trust in him the same shall be lifted up at the last day yea and thus it was with this people." I really liked that scripture because there are many times were we don't know why the lord wants us to do something or why something is happening. but we have to remember the lord has a plan for each of us and we put our trust in him it will all work out. we can and will do anything he commands us to do and we will be able to become stronger. we just have to trust in him.

love you all

 we saw a huge miracle this week. Ashley arrowood was able to get baptized. and her dad when they other kids were getting baptized was like no I don't want to baptize them and with her he said no again but sister muasau and I decided to push it more so we did and we were bold and he finally was like okay I will and it was super amazing. he met with the bishop the bishop helped him and said he could and after the baptism we were talking to him and we were like so how do you feel and he was like I feel really good I felt the spirit so strongly and now he talked to his boss and he got sundays off of work so he could start coming to church. it was such an amazing miracle. they are such a great family its been amazing working with them!!!!!! they are a huge miracle. 

Hey everyone!!!!

   so this week was a good week we had a lot of ups and downs. but we tried to stay positive and make the most out of everything.

    Monday we had p day at the church which was a lot of fun as always. then we had dinner at our bishops house he feed us and the elders and the le mars sisters. and he daughter just returned home from her mission so it was fun talking to her. she was very sweet. we had a good time at bishops house. then after we went over how the work was going.

   Wednesday we had district meeting and it was a really good meeting they trained on becoming perfect in Christ. it was really good,. I really enjoyed the trainings!!!!! and after our district leader interviewed the arrowoods for baptism. it was his first baptism interview and after he told us that we did good at teaching them. that they are really prepared and they answered all the questions really good.

    Thursday we did service for a family in our ward who is moving we helped them pack. and then we did service at the ellis house and helped put Christmas decorations away. then we taught the arrowoods and we had bishops daughter come with us which was a lot of fun!

    Friday we got sad news one of our investigators who was going to get baptized the 10th called and dropped us. we tried to help her to change her mind but she had her mind set it was sad. she didn't have a lot of support from home to get baptized though. but its okay we know when she is more ready missionaries will find her again. and she will accept it later on. :)

     Saturday we did service at bishops store house. Then we had the baptism. it was soooo AMAZING. there were 4 baptsims nathanial who is 8 he is a ward baptism then abby who is the elders investigator and then renee and corey who are our investigators. they did all the baptisms together it was so amazing. the spirit was soooo strong!!!!! it was a great baptism. everything went perfect for it.

    Saturday night we had our coordination meeting at our ward mission leadders house like we do every week. they feed us le mars sisters and the elders every week. this week though it was snowing and they live in the middle of no were and the elders live with them. so 9:30 we were leaving and the elders decide they want to follow us to make sure we get out safely. and there car is a 2015 and they have 4 wheel drive so they go first to make a path. I follow. and our car is a 2014 we don't have 4 wheel drive and so we got stuck. but they got out and pushed and it only took like 30 sec to get me out. so I pull behind the elders and then the le mars sisters were behind us and they got stuck. and it took about 20ish min to get there car out. they were stuck really bad finally we got them out though and the elders decide they wanted me to drive their car and have the other 3 sisters get in it. and one of the elder took my car and the other elder took the other sisters car and followed me in there car out until we got to a paved road. they drove the other cars because they didn't want us slipping or getting stuck again and I drove there car with the sisters. we got to a paved road then we switched cars and the elders went back home and we made it back safely. haha it was cold and crazy pushing the car. but we are glad we made it back safe our ward mission leader was worried.

    Sudnay was really great seeing the 3 baptisms get confirmed. our church is now at 12:30 which is a llot diff then 9
