Smiling Jesus

Hey y'all! Hope y'all have had a fabulous week!

It has been good here in Andrews. Not a whole lot happening here. We had a miracle though!! We went to visit this less active man who is never home. We decided to try by because our appointment fell through. He was there but told us the kids were asleep and wouldn't commit to a time we could come back. We left and were sitting in the car on the corner of the block trying to figure out where to go next. Next thing we know his (nonmember) girlfriend is driving up next to us. I guess she thought we were walking so she came out to find us. She told us we should meet them at the duck pond in 20 minutes because they were taking the kids out to feed the ducks!! She came out and found us!! That doesn't happen!! We have to take it kind of slow with her but she is so sweet and now we just have to get him on board! His parents are active members in our branch as well.

I had a Texan meal (at least I think it is) Frito Pie this week. It is really just Fritos with beans and taco meat on them but they were good!

Bro McMahan, a LA in our branch gave me his smiling Jesus picture (he gives them to all the missionaries) He loves it and it is so funny! He is pretty cool! He is also obsessed with native Americans. He gave me a dream catcher key chain last night. In our apartment we have a box full of the most random stickers that he has given us! He loves to give us things! He gives us treats every time we go (usually 2 times a week).

​

We went to the nursing home this week too. Bill was so excited (he is the main person we see over there). A couple weeks ago he got to go on the honor flight. He was excited because he made Andrews newspaper front page! He was showing everybody! He was also updating us on his bowel movements while we played cards!

This week we had 40 people at church, yay!!

We got to go out to the Smith's ranch again this week and this time we were branding cows. This was totally Sister Christensen's favorite! I really didn't do anything. I was just moral support! It was an interesting process though! I love going out there! It is pretty in a totally different way!

Have a blessed week y'all!!
