Hello there. Here are the highlights:
Creydts - I'm pretty positive I've talked about them before, the parents are converts and the children are still deciding. One really wants to be baptized so that's cool. But this week we went over to help with family history and the grandma was there (not a member) and was getting super excited about family history. It was pretty fun.
Exchanges - Elder Wallace came to Blaine with me for the day. We had a great time, I taught him some yo yo and he taught me riptide on the uke, but the coolest thing was getting a lesson with a super busy friend that we have. She loves the church and we got to read Alma 7 with her and had an amazing discussion on it. Hopefully we can see her again soon.
Rileys - awesome member family. After dinner we had an object lesson with the commandments on index cards. The lesson was to show that when we keep all the commandments Satan can't get us (it's pretty hard to rip 22 index cards at once). All the children tried and failed, but the littlest accidently ripped one in the process: the law of chastity. So that was funny
Eric - The Elders had met him before on the beach but we found his house and had a nice chat with him. One thing that was funny was how he told us his neighbor would probably love to have us over and agree with our message. His neighbor just happened to be a less active member 
Saturday - lots of service today, got real dirty, almost died, and met a less active member who moved in a month ago and hadn't moved their records. That was pretty neat. She also fed us so it was even cooler.
Buckner - another funny story. We did the finger and can lesson. It's about building your foundation on Christ. So you place your finger on a Book of Mormon and smash it hard with a can. All the force goes through your finger and doesn't hurt it. But this family didn't know that so all of their expressions when Hansen did it was so funny 
Cunninghams - super awesome lesson. They are a new couple living with parents but the parents were gone this week and they were so much more open then what they usually are. So we had an awesome lesson and they even asked questions! It was great.
Today - so for p day one of the Bishops offered to take us to Mt Baker for a hike. It was so awesome and fun doing it. It was the chain lakes hike. Idk how long it was but it took us about 6 hrs which was a bit long but we stopped and got awesome photos and played in the snow so it was great. Literally exhausted tho because I was running around and being a stupid teenager didn't wear any sunscreen. Wearing collared shirts with a burnt neck is not fun but it was completely worth it.
Spiritual thought - we are talking a lot about goals this week and so I just want to encourage y'all to involve the Lord with it. Ask Him for help. It doesn't matter what type of goal it is, He will help because He loves you. Here's a scripture:
Alma 37:37 - Counsel with the Lord in all thy doings, and he will direct thee for good;
I know that to be true. I've seen it time and time again. I love ya all and miss ya, but I know God is by my side helping me. And if you pray and ask Him to stand by your side and support you then we can be side by side with Him.
Hope ya have a wonderful week!
