What's up everyone!
We met Brother Lewis this past week and he is this super old guy who is home alone. We found out he's 101 years old!! That's insane haha! He told us a bunch of stories about him growing up. Apparently, He faught in word war II which is nuts. He is so cool. We talked with him for a while and it turns out he hasn't been to church in 30 years (bc of his health), so we offered to take him the sacrament on Sundays. He said that'd be awesome!
We've also been busy doing service which has been great. We went over to Allie's house and she was super nice. She's a nonmember and we helped her clear out a bunch of bushes and weeds. Me and Elder Hyer found like 3 car transmissions that were just chilling in the woods in her backyard. It was a lot of work but she was soooo thankful. She bought us pizza afterwards and it was BOMB. I think it was from Westside Pizza or something like that, but it was way good. Elder Bailey and Hassell gave a little spiritual thought while we were eating. Elder Hyer was trying to start a fire for like 45 minutes but it wasn't working haha.
We did some service at Sister Martzianos place too. We go over to her house a lot and she's way cool. We pulled a bunch of blackberry brushes in her backyard and those are always the worst. It wasn't too bad though. We were also gonna help her build a fireplace but she just bought one instead. Were gonna go back again this week cause Elder Bailey's planning on burning a shirt on his 1 year mark.
We held a baptism for this boy named Spencer this week which was super awesome. Its wasn't anyone we were teaching or anything, but it was still cool to watch this little boy get baptized and make those crucial covenants. Spencer was way excited and his brothers were all super stoked too. Elder Bailey and Hyer gave quick talks about baptism and the Holy Ghost.
Lastly, we've been working with this super kind lady named Lou for several weeks now and shes the best. She calls us her little Angel's everytime we meet. When the Kingston ward got dissolved, he'd records had to be moved to the other ward, so we had to give her to the poulsbo 1st missionaries. That kinda stinks cause I loved meeting with her but me and my comp are still gonna meet with her every once in a while. This past lesson we had was AMAZING. The spirit was super strong and most the credit goes to Elder Hilleshiem haha. That went really well.
Lots of changes, but everything's going great,
