Shoe drying machines... and the wrath of the Bishop

Hello Everybody!

There are some weeks when I have really learned a lot, and seen miracles, and worked hard, and known everything was going alright.  And then there are some weeks that are hard.  That push you to your limit and really make you get down on your knees and ask the Lord for help because you can't do it by yourself.  This past week has been one of those weeks.  We have had a tough time lately finding people to teach and knowing that through all of the things that have been happening (or not working out), there is something the Lord is trying to teach us. I know that He loves me and all of His children.  I know that things are going to work out and that He really does answer our prayers.  I love serving here in Riverton.  The people are wonderful and I have had so many amazing experiences here.  Something I want all of you to know is that we are here to experience certain things so we will know what is good and what is bad.  So we'll be able to become who Heavenly Father sees us becoming, which is someone far greater than any one of us can even imagine.  

I just want to ask each of you, because this is something I've really been thinking about lately.  

How are you spending your time? 

Are you serving others or focusing on yourself?

As I have thought about this, Alma 34:32-33 has been coming to my mind quite often.  This life is the time to prepare to meet God.  He wants us to live with Him again someday, and He has given us the way to do that.  That way is through the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and the gospel makes me happier than anything else.  I know it is true and I know that we will live with our Father in heaven again.  He is waiting for us to turn to Him and rely on the strength of our Savior, Jesus Christ, to help us. 

I hope you all have a wonderful week!

Love,

Sister Wight

The first picture is of our shoes on a drying...machine..?  It was pouring rain this past Tuesday when we had exchanges, so Sister Beaudin and I walked around in the rain all day.  Thankfully, A family gave us this shoe dryer.  They've invented everything I guess.

We had a BBQ in one of our wards last week, and halfway through the Bishop came walking in wearing a trench coat with about ten water guns attached to it.  He started a water fight, and people were hiding by us because they knew he couldn't get us wet.  

It was awesome.  

Here are some action shots-
