Week 36: This Ward Is On Fire!!! (Or at least the building is)

This email will probably be short- we're leaving for a hike soon!
So, to explain the subject of my email- we had an interesting event

happen early Friday morning! Someone broke into the church building, stacked some hymn books around the podium and lit them on fire!  Luckily, approximately an hour later, some guys came to the church to play basket ball and smelled the smoke, so they were able to put it out. They had a temporary podium and sound system set up for Sunday and the chapel still smelled faintly of smoke. It was an adventure!

It's actually been a really adventurous week. So, first of all, greatnews- we got a car on Monday! Woohoo! So Wednesday we were following our sister training leaders from service to lunch and at the last minute they realized they have to change lanes and they didn't realize there was a car in their blind spot! So they got in a bit of a fenderbender. You can't see the damage from six feet away, but it did crack the bumper so they'll have to replace the whole thing. We helped them
out- so I was glad I knew how to do everything with the paperwork! The other guy was really nice though, so that helped. Luckily, they aren't going to have to take away our car. We get to keep it until it retires, so we've got about 600 miles left.

And, another even more awesome adventure- we were doing some service
on Thursday for Sister Pears. She had some stuff to clean out and she
also is trying to make a fire pit out of an old washer drum. So she
handed us a sledgehammer and told us to get the plastic off the bottom
so just the metal was left! I'll try and send a video clip. It was
awesome! So we whacked stuff with a sledgehammer and plastic got
everywhere. And we found a carpenter ant in her apartment building.

On a more spiritual note, Jimmy came to church on Sunday! And he loved it! It was kind of awesome. He didn't get to stay for all three hours
because of work, but he stayed for half of Sunday school. And our ward was really welcoming. It was awesome.

As for a spiritual thought- my scripture of the week is 2 Kings
6:15-17. The Lord will provide us with the strength that we need to do
what He asks us to do! It is pretty awesome.

I love you all- have a wonderful week! Il, have good hiking pictures
next Monday
