Craig 1

You're in Craig. Everything is Legal!

Well my first week in Craig has been quite exciting.  Sister Herring got stuck in a snow bank on our first day. Luckily there was a nice man who saw us and pulled up in his truck to pull our car out of the snow.

There is this 10 year old girl that we are teaching, her name is Kirsten.  She has been looking into the church for 2 years now (her mom is a member). She is getting baptized on Saturday!  She is super awesome.  We taught her the word of wisdom this week with shaving cream.  We put a bunch on the table then drew in it what we were talking about.  For example we talked about no smoking so we drew the no smoking sign.  Things like that.  It was super fun.  

We also do service for this lady named Kathy.  We also teach her a little.  She does not really like the Book of Mormon because she thinks there is too much war.  We read a chapter with her of when Jesus Christ comes and she really liked it because she did not believe us that there was a chapter with no war.  She also loved how Jesus when he came to the Americas he taught the same thing he was teaching in Jerusalem.  It was a super awesome lesson and we all could definitely feel the Spirit. She agreed to start from the beginning and read the Book of Mormon.  

On Thursday I went on exchanges with the sisters in Rifle. Sister Herring is an STL (in charge of making sure that all the sisters are okay basically) The sisters there are Spanish so I spoke that for a day.  Actually I just said Hola.  I can also kind of say I know that Joseph Smith is a prophet.  

There is a member in the ward that is making this giant paper mache tree.  For service sometimes we help her do that.  It is super fun. 

There is this super sweet old lady named Bobbie that we do service for.  We take out her dog and help her clean.  We have been teaching her about listening to the spirit.  

This week in Craig has been super fun.  It is definitely different then Denver, but still awesome. :)
