Week 52: It's already been a year?!

Okay, so this week was a success by my standards!

First of all, Sister Yeates and I hit our year mark on Thursday! How crazy is that?? So, to celebrate, we're planning on doing what's called the "half gallon milkshake challenge" at a place called Burger Bob's and are probably going to die but it's okay b/c it's for a good cause..We're doing it with some Elders in the zone who are also hitting their year and we also happen to have interviews that day so maybe President will join us.. we'll see 🙄😂

Also, we got 2 new people to teach by way of a referral from members (member referrals are the best way to find because you guys know your friends so much better than we do and have a relationship with them already and can help find those who have questions and are being prepared so that we can help you to help bring them the gospel!  We all make such a good team when everyone does their part! lol).

Anyways, so the ward council asked us to visit a woman who has health issues named Jude who- while going through an especially rough time and was about to have surgery- got a blessing from one of our ward mission leaders. She wasn't miraculously healed or anything (yet 😁) but when we went to visit her, her and her daughter Desiree both said that they have questions about our church and would love to learn more! So we have an appointment this week to come back that we're excited for.

Also! Kyle, a man that the Sisters have been working with for a few weeks, asked us at church this past yesterday if he could set a date to be baptized! I haven't met with him yet but Sister Yeates said that they've been trying to set a date and it just wasn't happening, so this is a miracle that he's had this change of heart and a new found desire to come unto his Savior and make covenants with Him that'll bring countless blessings to his life!

The members here in Baker are all so awesome and make you feel like you've been here forever the first time you meet them, and the mountains and fields are all super pretty, too. It's going to be an awesome transfer. 😊

Anyways, the pics of the field are a) b/c it's pretty and b) b/c SIster Yeates said it's apparently wheat and this is what a field looks like when it's "white and ready to harvest".. enjoy lol

That's basically all for this week 🤔😅

Love you all,

Sister Wilcox
