Home sweet home

    Okay, so first of all, here's a picture of our humble abode as promised.  I love it.  It's cute and simple and I think there's a lake in our backyard. I'm not sure cuz it's always dark when I get around to looking outside.

We've been so busy!  Yesterday we finally took the morning off to sleep in which was well deserved. And then we went on Amy's study with June.  June is deaf and Amy has been teaching her the truth in ASL and they've been studying for 5 years and June is going over the questions for baptism! It is so cool. There are like 8 people here that are learning ASL to help in the area. They sign at every meeting. It's really cool to watch (sometimes distracting to be honest ;) and Abby and I are picking up a little which is fun.

    A few things happened at the meeting.  Besides meeting more amazing people of course. They made an announcement from the platform welcoming us to their congregation! It was so incredibly sweet! It really touched me. Oh and then this really awesome sister, Tatum, she just got baptized this fall and she is AMAZING! For real.  Anywho, she was the one interviewed to share the experience she had about how the congregation reached out and really showed how much they cared about her. It was so sincere and sweet. And afterwards, (Woodruff apparently never claps for demos or interviews or things so we're told) so Abby started the clap and it totally caught on. She was proud of herself for that :)  One more thing - apparently I'm awesome at embarrassing myself. Especially here. And we were sitting in the front row and for some stupid reason I decide to take my necklace off over my head. Well, it got stuck in my hair. Really bad. And I fumbled to get it out for what seemed like an eternity. And Abby didn't help because she was too busy cracking up.

    Service was fun today of course! Abby only placed one book. She has probably placed 80 since she's been here. For real. That woman just has mad skills. I'm hoping to glean some of those. THEN we saw a coyote! It ran right in front of us! It was crazy! I swear I'm gonna be eaten up here. I'm hoping it'll be by a bear tho and not a coyote. Also in service we had fun with Amber of course as proven evident here: 

And then we had some people over for dinner. That was fun but I'll let Abby talk about that tomorrow.

Later my people!
